Duo heads to Uganda to build relationships with Sudanese

September 6, 2005

Thursday morning is the big day for Erik Wecks and Brian Stiger. They will both head to Northern Uganda for the next two weeks.

Both men are from Imago Dei Community, and will be visiting Jeff and Michele Theisen, and the Amazing Grace Orphanage.

"Hopefully it increases my faith to understand how God is working even in circumstances like that," Erik says as finishes some last minute plans for the trip. (see video)

Their suitcases are packed with donations. Their living room is full of books, toys, stickers, school supplies, candy, shoes, and clothes. The donations have come in from Texas, Arkansas, Oregon and Washington.

Brian took a moment to describe the reason he is headed to the region. "The people that are there, the people that are in Christ's church, I feel a responsibility to support them, because they are my family."
