Hey everybody, I am posting this on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, after the fourth day of Adventures in Mission Real Life Training. I will be posting a blog on a weekly basis, and will be using I to share my experiences on the mission field in Africa. Training camp has been a very interesting experience for me. When my flight landed in Atlanta, we went to a homeless shelter in the city. There we unloaded our stuff, and then set off on a first night of ministry; street-evangelism to the homeless...

Training camp is tough

I’ve never been through something that pushes me so much mentally, spiritually, and sometimes even physically. Let me hear it, Team Uganda! There’s no way I was the only one panting with a heart pounding as we lugged all of our baggage through the streets of Atlanta from the airport to the safe house. Then as we discovered every humanly way to push, shove, and drag our suitcases up the side of a snowy mountain to our cabin. Back on track, training camp has not given me a break. The leaders and staff here are constantly finding new ways to make me...

Just Go For It

At one of our sessions Jimmy was talking about how some of us have probably come to a point already where we are completely freaked out and have no idea what we’ve gotten ourselves into. He used the analogy of snow skiing and getting on the chair lift to get to the top of the mountain and that’s the time we realize that this is “the point of no return”. In order to get to the bottom of the mountain, you just have the ski down. But when you’re standing at the top you immediately regret this decision and feel completely unprepared for this. Maybe this is...

We are excited for the teams who will be launching on the 19th and on the field for over four months! There are five trips launching out on three continents. And we are excited for you to be able to be a partner in the development of these young adults. They will need all the encouragement and support they can receive, because there is difficulty in the process of initiation through the situations and circumstances that arise. We would like to ask that if you support a participant, whether family, friend, or supporter, that you would continue to pray for...

Since a Real Life team has not been in Uganda, since late-July, we decided to post some updates from our sister program, the World Race. The July 2010 squads have made their way to this East Africa country in October and November. Sarah Hogan, shared some photos on why it is so hard to country after investing so much of yourself, emotionally and spiritually. The photos truly say more than words really ever could. If you have ever wondered what it is like to spend the holidays overseas, check out Rachelle Uribe's video entitled, "In the eye of...

In this video we were on our way to Adwari, to visit one of the Victory Outreach Ministries churches (the church we were working with in Lira.) We were warned on the way that a truck was stuck (which you can see on the right) and that we probably wouldn’t be able to get through. However, Alex is one of the most ballinest drivers I’ve ever seen, and Fontaine (the bus) was a warrior.. Enjoy the video.
