Rex
& Melinda moved to Uganda in October 2006
from Florida, USA.
Rex
left his job and secure future prospects as
a Chief in the Fire Service to serve God in
Africa. Melinda left a medical management
position to volunteer in the Missionary Ventures
International Office for three years prior
to moving to Uganda.
They
have three sons: Ryan 27 years, Aaron (deceased),
and Blake 21 years.
As
members of the Christian Motorcycle Association,
they have spent the last 11 years ministering
in prisons, motorcycle rallies and churches
in their home state of Florida. They served
as elders in the church and leaders in their
community.
To love the people and
share the good news of Jesus Christ around
the world has become their greatest passion
and they demonstrated this for some years
by leading short-term mission teams.
Their desire in
coming to Uganda is to take the
gospel to the least reached people of Eastern
Africa, building strong relationships
with indigenous leaders.
Rex & Melinda are working most strongly
with the Batwa
pygmy people in the South-west and the
Acholi people of Northern
Uganda . They feel led to progress
into Southern Sudan in the future.
