Letting Go

It’s hard to let go. It’s hard to take what you’ve learned, what you’ve seen God do, and give it back to Him. We want to keep our treasures, and hold on to what we know, what’s comfortable and what’s safe. At our team debrief, we rafted the nile river, and a couple people (myself included) went bungee jumping. God was still teaching me, still pursuing me, as I know He was doing with the entire team. God taught me on this trip just what it means that He is a jealous God. He burns with passion for each one of us, and He will not relent in pursuing us. He is...

It ain’t goodbye, just seeya later

Now this may come as a surprise for supporters or parents, but for our uganda team you were only half of the intended audience of our blog posts. Because we were split into two different locations with two very different trips , many of us wrote to update the our half of our team. Don’t think for a split second that ya’ll are discounted in anyway, cuz its nice sometimes for yall to be able get into our heads, see through our eyes, feel, what we feel. We are able to explain our experiences that much easier. I beg ya’ll to keep reading on, but this for mainly for the 25...

I will never understand…

Sometimes things happen that we just don’t understand. Actually, a lot of times things happen that we will never understand. I will never understand why we spent 11 hours addressing and stuffing 3500 envelopes. I will never understand why people know that Jesus died for them and that He is the only way to heaven but say they are not “ready” to confess that with their mouths and become “born again”. I will never understand why there are so many starving and malnourished children. I will never understand the injustice in this country. I will never understand why...

Things Are Not Always Easy

I will start off by saying that this past week has not been an easy one.  Many things happened that we could not control.  But through it all we know God has been taking care of us and keeping us safe.  Earlier in the week a few bombs went off in the city of Kampala.  No one we knew was hurt but there were still people who lost loved ones that day.  We continue to pray that God protects the people of Uganda so that such a thing does not happen again.  We were planing on doing more door to door ministry in the flats that week but because of the recent events...

Mr. Bojangles

From the first time we stepped into the guest house in Bugolobi, Kampala Peter, an employee there has been serving us with the utmost care and diligence. We have stayed in this guest house nearly every weekend and for over two weeks doing ministry actually in and around Bugolobi. Peter has always been there with the biggest smile we have ever seen. His heart is for ministry but work keeps him so busy that he has just made his work his ministry. Peter actually works two or three jobs, sometimes it is hard to understand him because of his accent. Last weekend I found out that Peter, a guy...

Louder Now

1 Cor. 4:20- “For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.” This is a scripture that has really manifested to me on this trip. I had an understanding before the trip of what that meant, but now I feel like God is SHOWING me what it means. It’s a one sentence verse, but what a powerful punch it packs. The Kingdom of heaven is not words, but power. Wow! we serve a God, the only true living God, who moves in power.  The other night we had a spontaneous encounter with some kids who were dancing and playing at a crusade meeting. We were going with...
