Our Friends, The Coppedges, Are Off To Uganda

Well, I got news awhile back that our friends Billy and Joanna had raised enough money to begin their mission in Uganda. September 4th they got on a plane and were on their way. They will were stopping over in Hungary to visit Billy's sister on the way. His sister, and her husband, are missionaries in Hungary. They should arrive in Uganda on September 15th.
We had the privilege of hosting Billy and Joanna in our house back in February when they came to Dalton for our Church's Missionary Weekend. In addition to hosting them we got to participate in quite a few events with other missionaries from all over the world. Billy and Joanna's mission is to train pastors in Uganda. They had been to Uganda before on other mission trips and saw what a need for Jesus Christ there was in the area they visited. What a simple but overwhelming mission to have. It puts what I do for a living into perspective for me... meaning it is not very important at all. They have had a great impression on me. I pray that one day I can walk a walk like they do.
I pray that God keeps them safe while they are there.
They have setup a blog to keep folks up to date on their mission... http://www.coppedgeafrica.blogspot.com/
