Despite great progress in eliminating malaria in the country, cases of malaria remain high in certain areas of Uganda. Understanding the epidemiology of cases and control is a vital component to a successful malaria mitigation project. Using a cloud-based electronic medical record we have created a pilot project to document and track malaria cases in a central Uganda health center. This type of technology can be utilized in other rural health centers to track malaria and other diseases.

In a world that loves a “rags to riches” story, Jesus calls us into his upside-down kingdom where success is not always apparent. Dan* and Hope* have served for over a decade in medically underserved areas of the United States, and most recently, in an unreached, unengaged people group in the Horn of Africa. Drawing from biblical insights and real-world experiences, we will delve into the idea that failure is not merely a disruption but a transformative process integral to our mission.

I have been pursuing missions as a single female for the past 10 to 15 years. There are so many opinions from the church about what it means to be single and a believer, as well as being a single believer pursuing missions. I am no expert in the field of singleness, relationships, or dating. The goal of this session is to have a panel discussion of the extreme points of view on singleness in the church and try to find a more balanced approach to loving those who are single well in the church.

With around five years of experience working among refugees and IDPs, we will talk about some joys or opportunities there are working in a refugee camp setting, but also talk about realistic expectations and barriers that can be experienced. I'll share some background and my story of starting projects and trying to start ways to form groups for people to hear the Good News.
