What to Expect
Every trip is unique, but you can expect to build lasting relationships, experience Ugandan culture, and see God at work!
A ministry-focused trip centered around serving alongside local pastors and churches. Ministry opportunities will be shaped around the needs identified by our Uganda team and may include church and community outreach, children’s ministry, and men’s and women’s ministry.
Serve alongside RPI through hands-on projects at the RPI facility, with a primary focus on landscaping and facility improvements, along with opportunities to experience ministry and life in Uganda.

We are currently developing plans for an additional Uganda mission trip in August 2027. More details will be shared soon!
