Pastor Jon Opgenorth experienced a defining moment in April of 2007, when he met the Rev. Titus Baraka in Mukono, Uganda, while on his sabbatical.
Titus had begun one ministry and was preparing to launch another:
Words of Hope Uganda:
Titus began a radio ministry that broadcasts the gospel in Bari (the only radio program in that language) and two other common languages. These broadcasts are Bible-oriented and offer basic life skills for dealing with issues young people face.
Bethesda Counseling Center:
He is now beginning a counseling ministry to teens and college students that will help confront HIV/AIDS as well as the many issues that young people deal with (career choices, marriage, dating, depression, etc.).
Pastor Jon began to sense that Titus was like the man from Macedonia calling out to Paul (Acts 16:9) to come and help. Jon shared that passion with Trinity’s global mission team, and they shared the desire to see what the Lord will do. See the post - The Goal of the Trip - for what the team will do.
