Thank you to everyone for your continuous thoughts and prayers. I know God is listening. He is teaching me so much about Himself and myself. He is performing major heart surgery on me. Yesterday my team and the staff at Alpha Resort gave me a great birthday celebration complete with music and african cake. This year the fireworks were in our mind’s eye instead of the sky. I got this awesome maroon african shirt with beautiful patterns on it as well as some baby bananas. This past week was spent with a team from Portland, Oregon who were leading a crusade here in Lira. The last crusade...

As we were doing door to door ministry in the flats this week we had many awesome encounters that were spiritually uplifting. One particular story that has stuck out in my mind happened Wednesday afternoon. We walked up to a door that was brightly decorated and had a sticker of an Indian God on the front of it. Many thoughts were going through my mind, the biggest one being "We are going to get this door slammed in our faces if we knock on it". We decided to go ahead with it anyway and low and behold they do not slam the door, but instead invited us inside.    The...

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the Ugandan people since I’ve been here, it’s that they are strong, in every way it’s possible to be strong. It’s not at all uncommon to see 5-year-old lugging around their one-year-old siblings on their backs or hips like they’re feather-light. Women carry enormous baskets of bananas and pineapples on their heads, hands-free, without breaking a sweat. We drink the water or eat the lettuce and we’re in bed for three days; they get malaria on a regular basis, like it’s the common cold, and...

SORRY!!!!  I have been absolutely terrible about this whole blogging thing.. whoops 🙂   There’s just no good way to sum up the last 4? weeks.  (Is that how long we’ve been here?  We’ve completely lost track)  It’s been an incredible roller coaster of God pulling us out of our comfort zones, us adjusting and getting comfortable there, and Him pulling us out again.  It’s been awesome!  This last week we got the opportunity to work with a team from Portland who was here doing a crusade.  The way things worked I only got...

Hey everyone.  I continue to pray for you all at home and I hope that you all are having a great summer.  We have been back here in Kampala for the past week and our mission this week was to do door to door ministry in the local apartment complex here in the city.  So we split our team up into groups of two or three and went out knocking on peoples doors.  We met many different people of many different races and religions and I was amazed at how many different kinds of people you meet in Africa that aren’t African.  We met Chinese, french, Indian, arabic and...

“As it is, there are many parts, but one body.” (1 Corinthians 12:20)   It is amazing how God has been working through the body of Christ that Paul talks about in 1 Corinthians 12. It is becoming very clear that we all have different gifts and that God has arranged us to be right where He wants us to be. Some of us are gifted with intercession while others are gifted with evangelism. Some of us are gifted with encouragement while others are gifted with knowledge. And each person, with each gift, is necessary for our team to function as one body. And also, as a whole...
