About the journal
Built for a mission trip, but designed to last longer than the itinerary.
This page explains the heart behind the site while giving space for the story to keep growing after Uganda.
Purpose
A calmer, more human kind of trip website.
From June 11 through June 24, 2026, this space follows a Summit Church trip to Uganda with room for preparation, in-country moments, and the quieter reflections that often matter most after coming home.
Guiding quote
