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...

Traveling ten hours to Kabale and ten hours back gave me plenty of time to listen to God. Kabale was a difficult place for me to be. The culture is very different compared to where i am from and satan has targeted the people of Kabale in a different way than i have ever experienced.   Parents dont try to encourage their children to continue through school. Since its such a rural place, the children will probably end up going back home to farm anyway. Small kids anywhere from three to ten spend their days watching the cows and goats. Women strap their babies to their backs at sunrise...

  So i was planning on writing this blog about Kabale and our experiences there (which were amazing by the way!) Then we were walking through downtown Kampala this morning and it hit me…God never takes a day off!! He is constantly at work in the lives of His people!  As we were walking through the city i saw so many limp people-people with crutches, with canes, just sitting on the ground with limbs too thin or weak to work-and I was overcome with a feeling of sadness. i mean to see these people just sitting there on the sidewalk just did something to me…it twisted...

Kabale, Uganda can only be described in one word: AmazinglyMagnificent&BeathtakinglyBeautiful.   I found myself many times drooling after just looking at the mountains. Ok, not really but in all seriousness, the place is completely gorgeous and I am begging you to visit. The only way I can sort of explain it to those who have never been is that the mountains are literally like God’s huge arms wrapping around you. We were constantly in His embrace all snuggled up in the valleys of Kabale, and that feeling is amazing.   So Saturday night, the Lord actually gave me that...

The cars rush past, I am terrified I will get hit by one. But my Ugandan friend assures me that I will not get hit, im not sure I believe him. This is the life in the big city of Kampala. It is very similar to any of the other large cities around the world except that they are speaking in Luganda and the driving is ALOT more crazy. It has such a feeling of adventure and livliness. Here you can find hamburger restaurants and knock-off watches. But not only that, but it has the feel of fast paced life with people rushing to and from work in suits. This is largely a contrast to the life...

Hey everyone!  God is doing so much here in Africa.  So I'll try and tell you all about it.  The first week we got here we went to do school ministry.  The north is beautiful. Everything is very green and lush and the sky is amazing.  While there we went to about 15 different schools to do school ministry.  We went with a local team from a church in Bugolobi a city right next to Kampala.  Everyone from the team was great and I enjoyed working with them.  What we did was go to different schools in the area of Gulu and did programs there. ...
