Jinja Mission Team - Busoga Churches of Christ

I was blessed to have been on the Jinja team from May 2001 – October 2003.  While living in Uganda , I enjoyed teaching the team kids full time for one school year.  I then phased out of the school setting and began working in the village with church member who desired to start nursery schools in their church buildings.  I facilitated and organized teaching seminars and training classes with Erika Pierson .  I spent several days a week in the village observing teachers and working with the children in their schools.  It was a ministry I had never dreamed of working with and God truly stretched beyond my comfort level at times.  I returned to the States, due to some unresolved health issues in 2003.  I have fully recovered and have my complete strength back, praise God.

I was surprised with a blessing beyond my imagination, about a year after my return.  I met my future husband, Heath Amos, as we made a trip to Rwanda in the summer of 2005 together.  We worked at Roz Carr’s Orphanage for five weeks together and surveyed the country for future missions.  We were married on March 11, 2006 and have been living in Lubbock , TX .  I teach 5th grade science at Iles Elementary and Heath teaches Bible at Lubbock Christian High School .  We have recently joined a mission team to live and work in Rwanda , and plan to leave in September 2008.  We are so thankful to be with three other amazing couples and feel that our cup overflows.  We look forward to years of living and serving others together.
