Praised be you, O Lord our God, king of the universe, who has given us Yeshua your son as our Messiah, our redeemer, our savior, our atonement and our Lord, and the books of the New Covenant to our people and to all the peoples. Praised be you, O Lord, giver of salvation in Yeshua the Messiah.

The time has come...again!
Hello!
I can’t believe a full year has come and gone since my amazing trip to Uganda last summer. I find myself extremely privileged and giddy at the opportunity to write again, informing you of my second trip to Uganda, Africa this summer. I knew coming home from Uganda last June that I would want to return if the opportunity arose, and the Lord has seen that this will be so!
I will be heading back to Uganda on June 28th and returning on July 13th, 2009. This year we are a team of 4. Eric, Rachael, Sherri, and I are working hard to get everything in place and ready to go! Just as last year, I will be serving the majority of my time in Gulu, Uganda, where Favor of God Ministries is located. My dear friend, Norma Caddell, is still serving as a full time missionary there in Gulu and the team and I are anxiously waiting to serve alongside her. This year, as I did last year, I will be able to help with medical missions in the IDP (internally displaced people) camps serving to do basic wound care. I will also be able to minister in the Ugandan Prison, Military Hospital, and HIV/AIDS clinic. Words cannot express the excitement I have to see again the sweet faces of the children at Favor of God’s orphanage, House of Hope; not to mention the staff of Favor of God that became family to me while in Uganda. My heart aches to hug their necks, shake their hands, and serve with a purpose in a country that still desperately needs Love and Hope.
I do not take this calling lightly, and ask that you lift me and the other team members up in prayer as we journey to do the Lord’s work in a place where a 23 year war has paid an unimaginable toll on the people.

The total cost of this trip is approximately $3,000. Approximately $2,000 of this sum is for the airfare alone. The rest covers lodging, transport, food, and humanitarian aid to Favor of God ministries and the local villages. I am forever grateful for your support in prayer and ask also to please pray and consider if you are to graciously make a financial investment in this work. I would be honored and greatly appreciative of your financial support. Gifts may be sent to my church as a tax deductible contribution: Waxahachie Bible Church, 621 North Grand Ave., Waxahachie, TX 75165. Please make sure to write “Jessica Page-Uganda” on the Memo line of your check. All support goes directly and only to me. If you are unable to help me financially, please know I completely understand and would be just as grateful for your support in prayer!
