Uganda 2011

Cornerstone United Methodist Church in Auburn has built a relationship with Buloba Community Church in Buloba, Uganda for many years now. Our desire is to support the local church as they move to awaken people in their community to a loving relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our focus on this trip will be leading members of Buloba Community Church in discipleship opportunities, providing a soccer day camp for the children in the community, working on a multi-purpose building that is used as their worship facility, and building relationships with the people of Buloba. I hope that you will pray with me as our team begins preparations for this trip and throughout our time in Uganda. Please pray for me to have strength, courage, and perspective, and also for our team to experience unity, strength, and direction.

I am currently scheduled on two trips for 2011, the first is on July 25th and the second is on October 1st. I’ll need to raise $3,250 per trip minimum to cover my own costs. This amount will pay for my transportation ($2,500), lodging, and meals ($500) while in Uganda, and vaccinations ($250 per trip, $500 total).

** Because my role on this trip mostly involves photography I have additional photographic expenses well above $500 per trip and would appreciate any support you could provide for costs such as film, memory cards, development and processing, printing, and equipment costs directly related to and specifically for the Uganda trip. For those wishing to contribute to my photographic expenses, I will be providing a large (11” x 14”) personally signed print from the trip, which will be mailed to you around the end of the year.

If you would like to contribute financially you can write a check to Cornerstone Church. Checks can be mailed to 2123 Hamilton Road, Auburn, AL 36830. If you would like to make a payment online using a debit or credit card please go to http://www.scottfillmer.com/uganda . All payments made online are sent directly to Cornerstone Church and are tax deductable as well.
