Well, we have made it! After two flights and a stolen night (time flies when you’re flying against time), we made it to Entebbe, Uganda in the evening of the 10th. We had a wonderful African meal and a good hot sleep under mosquito nets before getting up for a day of rest around Kampala.   We knew that we would be splitting up the team of 24 to two teams of 12, going to Kampala, the capitol city, and Lira, up north. However, we did not realize that the Kampala team would be leaving right away for Gulu, in the northern part of Uganda, for a week of (more) missions with the...

I just heard from the team leaders and the team has arrived safe and sound in Uganda.  They are settling in for the night with their host and all is well.  The team is in good spirits and very excited for what’s to come.  They’ll be finding internet and posting blogs as soon as they can.  Thank you for your prayers!

Training camp is coming to a close and from my point of view, this weekend has been a huge success. My heart has been changed in a way I can’t describe, my relationship with the Lord has been strengthened to the highest degree. I have bonded with some wonderful men and women from all over that country that I feel blessed to now have as part of my life, part of my family for the next two months. I am so thankful that God hand picked these people to spend this time with. It is interesting how well we work together, and how each of us has been blessed with different gifts that will make...

When we walked into our evening session on Saturday all 154 of us were handed an egg.  And we were all confused.  We were told that we couldn’t let the egg leave our person until ‘further notice.’  Trying to worship with that egg was a challenge.  I wish there were words to describe the incredible worship experiences we’ve had these past few days.  Lives have been changed, people have been pulled from places they didn’t even know they were and into the glorious joy and light that is Jesus.  It’s been amazing, incredible and...

“Ehhh this will be a piece of cake.” “I LOVE meeting new people!” This was my philosophy when coming into training camp and boy was I wrong about the easy part! But it has been hard and challenged me in the best, and most glorious way! Every fear that I came with has been calmed and the team and leaders have challenged me to lengths I never thought possible! From the minute we arrived in Atlanta, Georgia for training camp  I have been presented with challenges that make me step out of my comfort zone. Our first...

Hey everyone, it’s David.  This is my blog where I will be telling you all about the great things that God is doing in Uganda. This one is kind of on the fly so it will be short.  Right now we are at the Adventures In Missions training center in Georgia.  But we did not come straight here from the airport. We spent our first night, Friday night, in Atlanta Georgia. That night before bed we went out on the streets of Atlanta to find people and speak to them. We each got a dollar to spend on someone. That night was very powerful and I feel we really were able to help some...
