This past week our team paired up with a group of about 20 locals from Bugolobi Church here in Kampala and went down to Gulu to do school ministries. When I think of being a missionary the first thing that comes to mind is people going overseas, or of the typical white people going to third world countries, so it was kind of a shock when I found out we would be tagging along with this team on their missions trip. The way they did things may have been different then what we are used to, or how we would have done them, but it was just so amazing to take a step back and watch them share Jesus to the people of their country. It really opened my eyes as to what being a “missionary” really means, which is just simply telling people the good news of Jesus and his love. The people here have such a strong faith and such a beautiful heart for the Lord and have the same goal as all of us do, to give hope and love of Jesus to the broken people here in Uganda-I am just so dang glad I got to share that with our Bugolobi team members (:
We had so many tough times, had to completely change our eating, sleeping, bathing and bathroom habits, but at the end of the day it was nice to see why we were there and what we’ve been doing and know that God made it that way for a reason, and I am just oh so excited to see what else God has in store, because this is only the beginning (:
In His love,
Samm Lange (:
