Our Mission

Tuesday, 10 October 2006 22:00 administrator

Uganda is a country rich in history and culture but has been devastated with political unrest, savaged with an ongoing AIDS epidemic, and torn with a growing Muslim population. Despite the millions of dollars spent and the thousands of aid workers, the problems continued to grow and persist.

Team Five Morris witnessed this devastation first-hand while on short-term mission trips and believes what was missing was simple connection.

CONNECT THE INDIGINOUS PEOPLE OF UGANDA WITH THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF JESUS.

CONNECT THE TIME, TALENTS, AND TREASURES OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH BODY WITH THE HOPE, DREAMS, AND DEDICATION OF THE UGANDA CHURCH BODY.

By acting in obedience to Christ, it is our prayer this connection not only brings glory to God and His Kingdom, it redeems and restores Uganda as a witness to His power and testament of hope in Him.

Our Story

Well, this is us in 2008! This photo is an absolute testament to the power of God. If you ever catch yourself wondering what God might have planned in your life, come back and look at this picture. You really have no idea what He has in store!

Daniel started out as the youngest of two boys and spent half his youth growing up as a cowboy in Oklahoma. By the time he decided to drop out of high school, his family had returned to the Northwest. With a lack of direction, wild spirit, and a tremendous amount of self-esteem, Dan was ready to conquer the world. During this time, he dedicated himself to making a lot of incredible personal choices that should of ruined him for life. Soon, he found himself at an Olive Garden looking for a server job when Loring appeared in his life. Daniel was in love the minute he saw her. However, the attractive hostess at the Olive Garden wanted nothing to do with Daniel.

Loring is the youngest of two girls and spent her entire life in the Portland, Oregon area. After graduating high school, Loring was anxious to be a French major at Linfield college while her parents moved off to live in Kalispell, Montana. However, with the introduction of the weird guy with the motorcycle, her life turned in another direction.

Both began their higher education at Mt. Hood Community College. They got married in August of 1999. Dan eventually graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts and Loring from Cosmetology Careers in 2000. With Aiden being born in January of 2000, the family made a visit to the parents in Montana.

Once thinking Montana was a God-forsaken wasteland, Loring now thought it might be nice to be close to her folks. By November of the same year, Daniel and Loring were living in Montana.

Daily Verse (ESV)

Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
