We still need your help raising money for "Waldo", a new van for Alpha. We have 4 more days to go and we need a good bit still. Please consider helping in any way. I can't think of any other people who deserve this new van. When i say the old one is falling apart, I mean literally. Any amount helps us out big time. If the 8 of us had the money, we would give it to them, but we don't, so we need help. The Deadline is December 8th. Thanks so much. If you've already contributed…thanks also You can give online this way: Go to Uganda Ministry Project...

Hey everyone! So about a week or two ago, I posted a blog called The VAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! asking for donations towards a new van for the wonderful Alpha Resort Hotel staff. It turns out that they need it more now than ever. Just last night, the current van got stuck in a mud pit and is messed up for good. The engine flooded with water and the van is still stuck in the pit. Thank so much for those of you who donated! We are so thankful for the money that has already come in. BUT, we still need more. The deadline is this thursday and we are still short a few thousand dollars. So look...

For the past 3 months we have been on our knees, crying out for God to show up here in Uganda. We are so desperate to see Gods kingdom collide with our small world. We have wanted to see, even if it was just a glimps, God in his glory. Well… this week it happened. God showed up. Really… there are no words to describe what happened. God is much bigger then our vocabulary but let me try to give you a small picture of what it looked like. We watched as people came face to face with Gods love and saw how it changed them. We celebrated with our new brothers and sisters. We...

I could tell you how my heart has fallen deeper in love with this country… I could tell you that my heart has broken once again for the people here, and for their past… I could tell you that I just really want to cry again, and again for the hurt these people have gone through, but the tears won't come… I could tell you that even though the LRA is gone and the war has been over for about 5 years there is still so much hurt and pain still lingering… I could tell you that these people are still living in fear, that they are shackled by injustice, that they feel...

Oh the things we come up with while bored in Africa. We have invented countless games, played a number of card games, and just done some flat out crazy things due to boredom here. Half the time we have no explanation for the things we do or say, and simply blame it on being here in Africa. It might be the sun, but something here tends to make people go a little loco after some time. Our leaders pow-wow every night for countess hours. We plan on watching movies together, but always have to wait till they’re done. By...
