Adult Wednesday Night Program
CBF Global Missions Field Personnel Refugee Women’s Advocacy Coordinator, Uganda
Wednesday, November 16, 2016
6:30 p.m., Assembly Room
As part of RRCB’s Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Global Missions focus, we will host CBF Field Personnel Missy Ward-Angalla to speak to us about her work in Uganda.
Missy works as the coordinator of refugee women’s advocacy at Refuge and Hope International in Kampala, Uganda. Her group, Amani Sasa, ministers to refugee women and girls who are traumatized, abused, trafficked, and/or vulnerable to exploitation, as well as provides holistic ministry to urban refugees in Kampala.
The ministry includes a shelter recovery program for young women affected by severe trauma and exploitation, a vocational training program for women at risk and a social work ministry for refugee women, girls, and families in crisis.
Missy and her husband Francis Angalla will lead us in a time of worship and learning about the good work of CBF Global Missions in Uganda. We hope you can join us to learn personally from a Global Missions missionary about where your funds for Global Missions are doing good in the name of Christ around the world.
(Content will be appropriate for older youth and adults only, as the stories of the women affected may contain tough realities children may not be ready to hear).
After the program, envelopes provided for any cash donations you would like to give directly to Missy and Francis. Additionally, you may write checks to RRCB, with the memo line: CBF Global Missions Field Personnel. If you wish to partner long term with Missy, you may sign up to give monthly or one-time here.
Hosted by the Board of Christian Education & Spiritual Formation and the Board of Missions
