Is there any goat in my teeth??

Hi Everyone! Wow, I can't even begin to explain how amazing this trip has been already! Our first day in Kampala was so great! We started off by leading a beautiful woman named Alice to the Lord 😀 It was so beautiful to see us explain the Gospel to her as a team, then we all celebrated by have a dance party with a ton of locals in the street!! The first Ugandan baby I held was named Ishan, and let me tell you, he sure was sweet. As we left at 6am for Lira, a little girl named Nusfah met me at the bus to say goodbye; I will never forget her. The bus ride was so fun!! Our driver Joseph...

Made it Safely

We just spoke with the team leaders and they've all arrived safely in Uganda.  They are in route to their ministry site via some very long bus rides and will be settling in these next few days and getting some orientation from their host.  Expect to see some blogs rolling out in the next few days as they find internet. Thanks for all the prayers for this team! The Passport field support team

“I don’t need you”

On Friday evening, strangers sat around the dinner table filling the air with small talk. Conversing and racking our brains for questions to ask these people we would live life with for the next two months. The next few days kept us busy building shelters we needed to trust to sleep in, making banners representing our team as a whole, play-act witnessing to a tribe that knew no English and spit water in your face, and using teamwork to succeed at the various activities planned for us. Overcoming the awkwardness and diving deeper into each others stories has brought us together. Today,...

I am NOT just a really friendly traveler!

Do we [Christians] look any different than those who do nice things? If there is a difference, what is it? Niceness is not our calling as Christians. Romans 1:16, " For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." This message is the difference. We are NOT humanitarians because we have the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am not just a really friendly traveler. We bring a message. We bring the voice of God and His name that is above every name. When we say we are Christians, I proclaim...

Hey I just met you, and this is crazy…

These past few days have been nothing short of a whirlwind.  Leading up to this weekend I have been so afraid of what this journeys holds, but after this weekend and encountering God I have never been so excited for my future. I have just met these 14 people and already I feel so close and can't wait to build this family relationship. So here are a few things I wish I knew before training camp: 1.  Everyone is scared- it's been so refreshing and reassuring to know that other people are feeling some of the same emotions and having the same fears as me. 2. I am more than...

Futile. Futile. Futile.

   That is what I've heard relentlessly the past four months. And it is a lie: a total lie. I have purpose, and I intend to fulfill it.    The past four months have been a particularly perilous season in my life; it has been a time of confusion and clarity, impossible and improbable, smoke and mirrors, the effaceable and the inevitable. The past four days have been a culmination of all those things, a marvelous release of things cramped within so long one hardly knows how to utter them anymore. I had a tight-taught, chaotic mess of thoughts, so dense and so...
