Hello, my name is Tony McConnell and I am soon to
become a Lay Mission-Helper.
Originally from Colorado, I have always really enjoyed
being outdoors, especially because of the beauty of my home state. I recently
graduated from the University of Providence in Great Falls, Montana this May,
and I am truly ecstatic to be going on mission to Uganda! My degree is in Computer Science with a
concentration in network engineering; I will be sharing my IT skills with the
people of Kabale, a town in the southern part of Uganda.
My love for travel is what first exposed me to the
need of specialists in other countries. After expressing a tiny amount of
interest to my campus minister, he directed me to great resources in finding a
mission. I stumbled across LMH earlier this year, and was happy to hear I
hadn't yet missed the deadline to apply for this year's program. After
attending a discernment weekend in April the week before my graduation, I knew
I had found the next path in my life.
I am so excited to meet all the wonderful people of
Kabale to help them with their IT needs, and most of all to learn from them as
I experience their culture for the next three years.
