FBC McKinney to Uganda
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to further deepen relationships established at Mengo Hospital in Kampala and at Rukungiri Modern Primary School in western Uganda.
Over the past 25 years, Uganda has been ravaged by AIDS. However, international funding coupled with strong Ugandan leadership has led to a reduction in the prevalence of AIDS from 30% to 6%. Now modern diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are emerging that can lead to heart disease. Due to educational and equipment limitations, Mengo Hospital is eager for assistance to develop programs to identify and treat these modern health issues.
Our team works alongside doctors and nurses, building them up and affirming their work in a challenging medical environment as they seek to be pioneers in Emergency Medicine and Critical Care. Our desire is to give hope and confidence to enable the local healthcare providers to be able to treat Ugandans with critical illnesses.
To God Be the Glory!

Celebrating the Life of Jim Hembree
April 3, 1933 - April 17, 2012
Susan’s father passed away in April, and in lieu of flowers, Jim requested that all donations in his honor be given to the Uganda Medical Mission Team at First Baptist Church of McKinney.
For the last five years, this mission team has served the medical staff at Mengo Hospital in Uganda through education, new equipment donations, construction, and worship. Their efforts have been particularly special to Jim as eight members of his family have served God by loving others on these trips.
To make a donation in Jim’s honor, please contact Sandy Spengler in the FBC McKinney missional life office.
