Part of our strategic goal in Africa is to continue to build capacity through our relief and development programs.

Motivated by this, Relief Network Ministries collaborated with several organizations to orchestrate these mission trips.

Africa Summit in Kampala Uganda - Oct. 26 - 31, 2010

Organized by Living Water Int'l for all its partners and field implementers, this summit is a conference to bring together all those working in Africa in water ministry, medical outreaches, health & hygiene to leverage lessons learned, and establish best practices. It will also emphasis the importance of evangelism as a vital part of project delivery, and review appropriate ways and opportunities to ensure that such objectives are implemented on all projects. Part of the Summit will cover capacity building and how we transfer appropriate skills and technology to locals in Africa where we minister.

For those traveling from the States, please co-ordinate with us about flight arrangements. Team plans to fly from Houston to Entebbe Uganda - and on to Lagos, returning to Houston by mid-Nov. using a multiple destination arrangement.
