Training Camp.. my initial thought — hmm, just like youth camp back in the day?? WRONG! When we got into Atlanta we were sent on a well, kinda sorta scavenger hunt, if you will, to find out next destination. After trodding through the streets of Atlanta in the tsunami (ha not literally, just a lot of rain, although I wouldn’t be surprised after getting back from Guatemala less than 24 hours before where there was an earthquake, volcano, tropical storm, mud slides, and of course a sink hole) we arrived at the Atlanta, Georgia safehouse, a homeless shelter downtown. Later that...

   Everyday, God wakes us up to fill us up yet again for another glorious day on His Earth. It is because of HIM that we have strength,love,patience,kindness and so many other great gifts. He is so humble that He gives us these things to share! God has shown me this these past 4 days in Georgia. After a night at a homeless shelter in downtown Atlanta where I gave my all (and not God’s all), the following night at the training camp left me completely broken. For those of you who know me, I am rarely a negative person. This particular night in that...

Although it has only been 4 days, I feel like I’ve known my team forever! To be completely honest, I wasn’t super excited about training camp, I was just so ready to be in Uganda- but these past few days have truly been a blessing! Since the first day, our team has had AWESOME unity. From evangelizing to the homeless on the streets of downtown Atlanta to making a human pyramid during team building to painting our mission for the trip on a huge canvas- we are all continuously praying for each other, encouraging each other, and loving on each other! I had a really hard time...

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...

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...

Since landing in Atlanta 5 days ago there has been a constant breaking down of expectations on our part as a team. This comes in the form of what we expected to do and how we expected to experience God on this trip. But the reality is that God is unique and likes to mix it up a bit. We came into Atlanta expecting to get right on buses to travel to training camp, but the reality is that we actually traveled to the Safe House where we ended up on the streets sharing the Good News to homeless and other individuals that we found. This was our first opportunity as a team to embrace the...
