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...

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 Haven’t Learned

Well, saying that I've learned a lot would be a bit of an understatement. It would also be a little untrue. I don't mean that I haven't grown or been stretched, because these past few days have really pushed me beyond what I previously thought I was capable of. I just mean that I have been learning, I haven't "learned a lot" because I can't fully grasp most of the stuff that has been happening. I'm learning. I have a lot more to experience/understand/live. I can already tell that I am going to learn so much about community. I love my team. it's clearly...

Futile. Futile. Futile.

Training Camp

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...

Hey I just met you, and this is crazy…

Training Camp

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...

There is power in the name of Jesus….to break every chain. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ….to break every chain. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ….to break every chain. Regret. Fear. Comfort. Inadequacy. Failure. These are all words that the enemy tries to use to hold power over us. They bind, suffocate, and choke the person inside of us that God created us to be and leaves us with feelings of hopelessness and entrapment. These are all...
