NGU students minister in Uganda, China

Eleven students from North Greenville University traveled to Uganda from Dec. 7 to 19, where they prayerwalked, hosted a youth rally, worked a basketball camp and did house-to-house ministry.

Logan McKenzie, a freshman intercultural studies from Rockingham, N.C., has gone on numerous mission trips since God has called him into full-time ministry. He went to Uganda last year and felt a strong desire to go back this year.

“It really changed my life, in the sense of how truly blessed I am to have food on the table, to have loving and godly parents, and to be able to just freely worship the One and living God of this universe,” McKenzie said.

A five-member team from NGU, accompanied by 170 other students, had plans to work with Christians in China Dec. 15-31, teaching English as a second language at universities.

“We cannot talk about the city we are going to in any way because of legal issues,” said Hunter McGee, senior Christian studies major and a member of Riverside Baptist Church, Greer.

“I know that prayer is the single most important aspect of mission,” said Douglas Allen, junior intercultural studies major from Taylors.
