Evan Clinkscales of First Baptist Church, Vincent, in Shelby Baptist Association, along with five other Alabama college students, traveled to Jinja, Uganda, on a missions trip Dec. 11–Jan. 4.
The students worked at Answering for the Children, an orphanage in Jinja, and did minor construction work for the orphanage, including putting up a fence and painting the inside of the building. They also taught and preached mostly to widows and orphans in several villages in Kenya and Uganda, resulting in approximately 100 salvations.
Clinkscales, who has been to Africa twice before, said ministering among the widows was special for him. “They are so poor (yet) they are so giving,” he said. “They know their need for God and they are very receptive.”
Extreme Ministries, which was started by Jeff and Tammy Huey, members of First Baptist Church, Pell City, in St. Clair Baptist Association, helped raise money and collect supplies for the trip.
