I came here knowing I was going to live in Lira, Uganda I didn't come here knowing that I was going to love Lira, Uganda The past 2 months here have been rough at times, but getting to the peak is never an easy trail. And as a team, we have never climbed higher than we did in the past two weeks. We've poured our hearts and souls into this ministry that the irreplaceable people here have made available to us. But in reality, they were the ones filling us up in order to do so. Lira isn't a town where I once lived, and it never will be. It is a town that I loved, and a town...

This week we spontaneously decided to have a "prayer walk". As we began to walk the Lord put a thought vision in my head. I began thinking about the life of Jesus and how much he walked. I began thinking the cliche thought of "what would Jesus do." As I kept thinking about this I started to pray for his eyes, his ears, his emotions, his thoughts, and his heart. To see things as he does. As if he was right there with us physically. He began to give me the picture of him walking and coming across the lame and healing them. As I explained my thoughts...

Wow, so much has happened since I last updated. I figured I’d share a little of our adventure to Nairobi, Kenya. We stayed in Kenya for about a week for a midpoint debrief. We met up with the Kenya and Expedition teams and a few AIM staff. It was such an amazing time! Some highlights: -eating American food at Java House! Eating salad trumped having a burger. I’ve missed having fresh vegetables. -having frozen yogurt at the mall -hot showers every day! -being cold and able to wear jeans and a hoodie for once -going to an elephant orphanage and seeing baby elephants up close...

If you know me at all, you know of my heart for Camp Men-O-Lan and Crossroads organization. Crossroads is a tiny building located in the rough of Philadelphia that provides a safe, Jesus-centered environment for kids to come after school and in the summer, to keep them off the streets. They send groups of kids to camp every year and in my first summer working there, in 2010, God unveiled my passion for these hard-to-love city kids that I felt so drawn to. As I stepped foot on the grounds of our new ministry organization, Atin Afrika last week, I felt a warmth. Atin Afrika is a newborn...

“I want you to adopt one of my children.” That’s the question Meg asked me yesterday, and she was SO serious. Yesterday we went to the hospital and I got to hang out with my normal favorites Edmon, Soloman, and Sam. I sat under a tree with them for a while playing cards, and drawing. But none of them speak English so there is only so much we can do. After doing that for about an hour (plus the other hours I’ve spent doing that the other times I’ve gone there) I decided I was going to leave them under the tree for a minute and help the ladies cook in the...
