About The Trip

Here you will find entries from my journal during the trip to Gulu, Uganda, taken by a team from Antioch Community Church in College Station, Texas. I'll fill in all the details and such that I left out of my journal, so you aren't lost as I tell about taking a boda to Main Market before getting a rolex and taking a soda.

Our mission in life is to advance the Kingdom of God, and our specific mission in this trip was to bring the Kingdom closer to the city of Gulu, Uganda, by finding "people of peace" with the potential to become leaders. Our goal was to find two or three of these people and pour into them over the two weeks we spent there, teaching and modeling Christ to them, so that they would then go out and gather people, sharing the Gospel with them and teaching them what they learned from us, thus multiplying disciples of Jesus and affecting the whole city, long after our departure.

The team members were:
Mitchell and Beth Welch - a young couple who went to Gulu in 2011 with Antioch. Both were primary leaders for the trip, though Beth stayed in America as our main contact point, since she was 7 1/2 months pregnant when we left.

Rachel Aston - The other primary team leader.

Matthew Stewart
Oliver Debayle
Emmery Glynn
Pablo Lopez
Hailey Marsh
Blake Schulze
Christie Smith
and myself.

Thank you for supporting me and my team, for your prayers before, during, and even after the trip, and for taking the time to read about the trip from my perspective. I hope you enjoy!

In Christ,
Brandon Bronaugh
