Gary Heaton
Gary grew up in Fredonia, Arizona. He met my wife, Sandy, shortly after returning from a service mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They’ve been married 43 years and have six children and 20 grandchildren.
Gary loves taking grandchildren backpacking. He also loves to fish, hunt, golf, and scuba dive—just about anything outdoors! Together, Sandy and Gary love to travel, go to theatre performances, and participate in their church’s activities.
Gary often says, “I’m so excited about what we’re doing to help children go to private school in Uganda. I have felt the Lord’s hand in helping us establish Ephraim Hope Mission.”

Jackson Isiko Ph.D.
“I am married to a beautiful wife, and we have three awesome kids. Although I am now a proud United States citizen, I am originally from Jinja, Uganda—a small town on the shores of Lake Victoria in East Africa. I currently live in Herriman, Utah. I love Utah’s outdoors and love to travel. I also love RV camping, road biking, swimming, running, and soccer.”
“Following my undergraduate, with an associate in computer science and a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from Nkumba University, I graduated from the University of Phoenix with a Master’s in Management Information Systems and a Ph.D. in Management, specializing in Organizational Leadership and Technology.”
“I have been an IT practitioner, scholar, and leader for over 21 years, and I love serving others in whichever community I find myself in. In Utah, I serve as a Cub Scout master for my pack. I also feel privileged to serve as one of the directors of Ephraim Hope Mission.”
