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...

Being in a new place for quite a while makes picking up habits pretty easy, so mom and dad, this is your warning!    – If I wake up in the morning, go outside and start bathing with a huge basin of water… don't worry, as soon as I see our neighbors, I will quickly run back inside! -If I sit at the table and just expect food to appear… I'm sorry, I just haven't had to cook in 2 months! – If you go outside and see my laundry hanging all over the place… don't worry, my "nickers" won't be out there because that is...

A little bit of an update from the Real Life Uganda team: God is moving in mighty ways out here in Uganda, both in the capitol city of Kampala, and in the northern Lira District. From doing door-to-door evangelism with our Ugandan brothers and sisters, to dancing ourselves to exhaustion at an open air “crusade,� the teams are doing everything they can to see God’s glory cover this land. While our bodies are not accustomed to this environment, and we cannot always handle the immense amount of carbohydrates being stuffed into our mouths (potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, rice,...

Here’s something I never thought I’d say…   I love my HIV/AIDS support group! haha there it is. I am a member of an HIV/AIDS support group here in Uganda. We meet on Fridays from 2-4pm and have a ball. There’s about 50 other women in the group and a couple of guys.   I suppose I thought that everyone would be depressed and have terrible stories to tell about their fight with HIV/AIDs. I thought it would be a place where people would be lonely, sad and struggling. And I’m not saying, that the people in the group don’t experience heart-breaking...
