A couple spoke briefly at our church this morning; Tim and Angie Sliedrecht.

Oh yes...and Avalien (Dutch for Evelyn).

This couple will be going to serve God in Soroti, Uganda in January (God willing; they only have 75% of their pledge at this point).  Angie's sister is also married to a missionary, also working for the same organization and they have been praying that they would at least end up in the same country...

God answers prayers!  Not only are they in the same country, they will be in the same city!

Not only are the in the same city, they are going to be living in the same building (the families will be sharing a duplex).

The organization that they are working for is "International Teams".  We saw a short video (click here to see the one we saw, Soroti, and others) and there is a huge need.  They are pressed militarily, AIDS takes a massive toll, and the native ministers that are currently working there have only a secondary education - if that.  One of the things that will be happening is the education of ministers.

If God is leading you to support a missionary, this is a good team, a good organization and a good place to send your money.
