Meet the Team

Our team is very excited about the upcoming trip to Uganda, February 15 - 27, 2012.  God has placed a strong desire in each of our hearts to “go” to Africa.  We don’t know exactly what God has in store, but we want to be obedient and follow Him.  We look forward to being used of God to minister to those we meet in Uganda.  We are especially excited about spending time in the village of Kachungwa with all the children and our friends there.  We also know that God will use them to minister to us in powerful ways.

Meet the team that Canby Christian Church is sending on this 2nd mission trip to Uganda.

Ken Harvey:  I believe God has called me to connect with the people in Uganda. It was great to meet with the pastors there and to hear their stories of how God was working in their congregations. I want to go back and encourage them and help in any way that I can.





Ashley Davis:  I feel like I have to go to Africa to help people and share the joy of Christ with them.    I also hope to come back and affect peoples lives with my stories. It will be such a great impacting experience and I'm so excited!








Dave Howard:  I knew that I was going to Africa even before I knew that the church was sending another mission team.  God put a love in my heart for the people of Uganda after reading the stories of the first mission team - particularly the visit to the hospital. The disease, hunger, death and living conditions in Africa are mind-numbing when you stop to think about them in terms other than just huge numbers.  Every one of those "statistics" are a person that God loves, a child a parent loves or a parent providing for a child.  Only the hope that comes with knowing Jesus as your personal savior can truly bring peace and joy to a people living in conditions like that.   I am anxious to take God's message of hope and salvation, to help the people in the village of Kachungwa as I'm able, but also to learn about faith from the Christians living there. God called, so I'm going.

Bryan Lemly:  For several years God has been working in my heart to go on a mission trip.  Last year he confirmed in multiple ways that I would go on the mission’s trip to Uganda with CCC.  I am extremely excited to see what God has in store for us and to spread God's word and love with the people in Kachungwa.  Sharing how Jesus as my personal Savior has changed my life with the people there will be an indiscernible experience that I cannot wait for.  My wife and I have been working with children for many years in our personal ministry and I am very eager to see how our past experiences will be tested and applied in Uganda.  God has been preparing us and although I am sure the trip will be challenging it will be priceless to us and above all to exalt God.


Renee McClaugherty:  My first trip to Africa was in Sept. 2010 as part of the team from CCC.  I fell in love with the people we met in Uganda.  God touched my heart deeply and He has given me a strong desire to continue to serve the people of Kachungwa.  I can’t wait to go back!

Isaac Williams:  I want to go to Uganda.  When I heard about the trip I felt a nudge from God, so I went to the meeting.  While I was in the meeting, God really spoke to me about my need to go.








Ralph Williams:  I feel that God is calling me to be a part this team and go to Uganda.  I look forward to seeing what God has planned and how He wants to use me and the rest of the team.  I am excited to meet our sponsored child and am looking forward to sharing this trip with my son Isaac as well.  I am excited to see how God will use us while we are there.  I believe that this will be a great and life changing experience.  I would also like to thank (You) my church family for your support in this mission.
