Dear Friends and Partners of Show Mercy International,

Many of you have been inquiring as to the details for the next Show Mercy International team trip to Uganda. We are pleased to announced that we have finally scheduled a date for this trip. We look forward to another life changing adventure to Uganda! We hope that you will consider joining us. Below is some initial information:

Dates:
We will leave the US for Uganda on January 13, 2009. We will leave Uganda on January 25th, returning to the US on January 26th.

Costs:
We believe the cost of this trip will be approximately $3000 per person and that will include airfare, hotel accommodations for 11 nights, breakfast, dinner, ground transportation while in Uganda, drinking water and administrative fees. However, until you have confirmed that you will be a part of this team and paid at least $2000, this price cannot be guaranteed. Please contact us as soon as you are able to commit and we can give you a more accurate price. Prices fluctuate daily with the airlines so we need to be prepared to purchase tickets in order to secure the best rates. Credit Cards may be used with a 3% fee added to the cost of any charges made to your card.

If you are currently sponsoring a child through Show Mercy International, this would be your chance to meet and hang out with that child. If you are not sponsoring a child, please consider doing so.

As those of you who have been on a trip with us know, your life will never be the same after experiencing a mission trip with Show Mercy. If you have a heart of compassion for orphans, widows or the poor, want to step out of your comfort zones or just experience a deeper relationship with Jesus, this might be the trip for you!
