Phillip holds a B.A. in Bible from Harding University and is currently
finishing an M.T.S. at Texas Christian University on furlough. His previous
mission involvement includes six short-term visits to India in the 1990s. Phillip and Laura began their work in Mbale with a focus on ministry to the Bagisu people, one of many tribes living in eastern Uganda. Since March 2002, they have been coordinating the Rural Ministry of the Mbale mission team as a whole. This has them interacting with multiple tribal groups on a regular basis. The Rural Ministry includes church-planting, church visitation, congregational development through a curriculum of seminars, women’s ministry, and training local church leaders in all of these areas of service. |
