Our family has been blessed with the opportunity to serve God in Uganda twice, on mission trips with KCC in 2023 and 2025. Why go as a family? For us, the answer is simple—because faith is not something we only hear about at church. We want to live it, see it, and be shaped by it together.
 
While on our mission trips, we had long travel days, unfamiliar food, cultural differences, and moments of exhaustion. However, our time was equally balanced with incredible blessings and overwhelming moments of joy. Teaching children about Jesus and singing worship songs with thousands of children at multiple locations (Gospel of Life Church and secondary school) was the most fun. Hearing the sweet voices of all the children as they praise God is something that plays over and over in our minds.

Looking back, we see clearly that these trips were not just a blessing to those we served, but a profound blessing to us. God met our family in Uganda and used those experiences to grow our faith, expand our compassion, and remind us to fully rely on Him. Families can serve together, in our church and on mission trips. Children can be part of God’s work. And when we step out in faith as a family, God does more than we could ever imagine.

We love, because He first loved us.
