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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

So I came to Uganda to share God’s love and mercy with the people that he loves and after a week of doing door to door ministry God revealed that to me. I met a woman named Harriet who welcomed me and my team into her house. We talked about her family and her life as four young kids ran around the house playing. It was the most I have felt at home since I have been here. There was just a sense of joy and happiness that lingered in the air.   As I sat and listened to Harriet share about her life, she told me that she worked with a homeless organization while she studied in...
