Hello friends and fam! So remember how I told y'all that I have been sharing my songs with some of my teammates, and that God has been really challenging me in terms of being bold for him?? Welp, tomorrow I am going to be singing one of the songs the Lord gave me on the radio! So here's the deal, Victory Outreach Ministries, the church we work with here in Lira, has a radio program that broadcasts to all of Uganda and Sudan. There is a 30 minute window every morning for someone to bring the word of the Lord, and tomorrow morning, that someone is going to be me! My team leaders had all of us put our names into a hat and my name was the one drawn to go on the radio and preach to the people of Uganda. I am not much of a preacher, but I know that the Lord has given me these songs to share, so tomorrow, I am going to share them internationally. Oy vey. I am slightly nervous, but mostly just excited that God has given me the opportunity to have a song of mine on the radio! What??
Also, the praise and worship team enjoyed their impromptu vocal lesson so much that they decided that we are going to have a day-long seminar in which the Americans give them more lessons on how to sing and how to better lead worship in the church. There is also something at Victory Outreach Church every day of the week called Lunch Hour Prayer. It's 30 minutes of worship and then a 30 minute sermon. This Friday, Ally Reed, one of my teammates, and I will be leading the worship part. I prayed before coming on this trip, and still pray daily, that the Lord would somehow turn this into a music based mission trip for me, and it is crazy to see how many opportunities he has opened up in that respect. And it's not just that the Lord is giving me the opportunities, but that he is giving me the boldness to take advantage of these opportunities. It's just so dang great and I have been smiling like a giddy little girl for the past week because I am just so overjoyed. I really feel like I am using the talent God has given me for the purpose which it was intended. I think that's all for now! Thanks for your faithful reading and praying! I love and miss all of you!
Peace and Blessins!
Sarah
