“Do not grow weary in doing good for at the proper time you will reap a harvest.”
Before I came on this trip my dad reminded me of this verse, and little did I know how true it would be.
The last four months me and our team have worked, sweated, stepped out of our comfort zone, eaten nasty food, had joy, and struggled. We have fought spiritual, mental and physical battles. We have been sick, and healthy. We have gone on little and a lot of sleep. We have been on a bus ride from the grave. We have been afraid, yet courageous… Sick, but strong… Overwhelmed, yet filled with joy… And at the end of ourselves, but filled with Jesus Christ. During this trip we have gone through many highs, and many lows. And at times it felt like our work and exhaustion was in vain, but last night we saw the truth…
The last week we have been inviting everyone we have built a relationship with the last four months to an appreciation dinner for them. We had food, did a skit and worship, and shared testimonies…and more than that, we saw a lot of what God has been doing the last four months. We had people stand up from different walks in life, some were students, doctors, stay at home moms, children, men, woman, pastors, but all friends…. And every one of them testified to what God has been doing. Two of them came to know the truth of Jesus Christ and have received freedom by His blood. One was blessed by learning how to be a better worship leader and musician. Others were touched by our friendship and the times we have shared with them. And there were many other stories….
But as I sat there listening to them speak I was overcome by how much God has done. My flesh wishes I could claim the glory, but my spirit rejoices in what Jesus has done! Our team is living proof of the grace of Jesus Christ, and we were allowed to see how His grace and love has shown forth in and through us the last four months. Jesus, thank You for allowing us to see a glimpse of how eternity has resonated here in Lira, Uganda the last four months!
Glory be to God!!!!!!!!!!
