How I Got Here


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.
