Friends in Mission, in Africa

This photo was taken by a member of the 2008 Uganda Mission Team, made up of 32 men, women and children from Midland, Texas. But Midland's Christian outreach to Africa is even greater than we might know.

One reader tells us that First Baptist Church of Midland happens to also have a team over there at this very moment, in the nation of Mali, on the western side of the continent. We have also learned that, earlier this month, another Midland church, Stonegate Fellowship, had a mission team in the nation of Sudan, just north of Uganda in northeast Africa.

We hope to get reports and photos from both those churches, that we can then share with you. In the meantime, please, keep them all in your hearts and on you minds, in your thoughts and in your prayers.
