From January through March 2027, a team from Willow Resource Foundation hopes to travel to the United States to visit churches, ministry partners, and supporters. This trip is an opportunity to strengthen existing relationships, build new partnerships, and share the incredible ways God is working in Uganda through Willow.
Our team hopes to include Kelsey, Kevin, Simon, Florence & Macknon. Together, we'll be sharing stories of transformed lives, providing ministry updates, and inviting others to join us in the discipleship work happening through Willow Resource Foundation.
Why We Are Coming
Our goals for this trip include:
Visiting churches and ministry partners
Sharing updates about Willow's impact in Uganda
Thanking those who have supported the ministry
Building new relationships with individuals and churches
Raising financial support for Willow's ongoing work
Encouraging others through testimonies of God's faithfulness
Whether we speak to a church, a small group, a missions committee, or simply meet over coffee, we'd love to connect.

Looking Back
On Willow Staff’s 2024 visit to the United States, we had the privilege of connecting with churches, supporters, and friends who have faithfully partnered with Willow over the years. Those relationships have helped make our ministry in Uganda possible, and we're excited to continue building them during this upcoming trip.
Meet The 2027 Team
Macknon helps Willow build partnerships and grow support for the ministry. Whether he's talking about church history or electric motorcycles, he is always eager to learn something new. He also has a surprising karaoke streak.
Florence serves through helping host and connect with Willow supporters and often translating, too. Around Masaka she's known as "The Ice Cream Lady" making what many would say is the best ice cream in town.
Kevin leads Willow's volleyball ministry and helps keep our facilities running smoothly. He can fix just about anything, enjoys a good game of cards, and would be perfectly content if chicken were on the menu every day.
Simon oversees Willow's events and loves creating spaces where people feel welcome. He's happiest serving others, meeting new people, and enjoying good coffee. Just don’t talk to him about cockroaches.
Kelsey keeps things running at Willow and has called Uganda home for the past 15 years. She drinks more coffee than Simon, is always up for a road trip, and is excited to introduce her Ugandan friends to America.
