Life has been a whirlwind these past few weeks; ever since our debrief in Jinja, our time here seems to fly by at a faster pace every day. The thought "we only have three weeks left" pops into my mind unexpectantly everyday and I begin to feel the urge to push 100% of myself into my ministry. I realize more and more how great of friendships I have made with the boys of Makabore High School. It is strange to think that soon I wont be hanging out with them everyday. At 7:30 I wont be leading devotions with them. At 1:00 I wont be sneaking away from eating lunch with the staff...

February 1, 2013 So, incase you didn't know, we made it! About 13 days ago…haha After the conclusion of our radically life changing training camp, we embarked on a 40 hour journey that was nothing short adventurous. We went from waiting for 9 hours in the Atlanta airport to sprinting from plane to plane in Germany and Ethiopia. But what we did not know was that once we landed in Uganda, our journey had only begun. After 8 hours of giving up our comfortability and bus seats to our backpacks and suitcases, we finally arrived at our greatly appreciated and welcoming home. To our surprise,...

Well, we are in Uganda! 36 days later… Sorry that it had taken me so long to post a blog, but I had some complications with my password. As you can see, they have been resolved! I am going to give a brief summary of the past month, and if I were Brent Stephens, that would have been much funnier. What happened in the first two weeks will be in the blog following this simply because I had already written it out beforehand. I guess you will just have to read that one, too, if you wish to find out about our Journey here! After the first two weeks, we began our ministry at a boys high school,...

Mark 16:15 says, “And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.”   The last Saturday of every month the students of Makobore High School are allowed to leave the campus and go into town for the afternoon. So this past Saturday Hillary, Meghan, Sarah Ann, Alex (our leader’s friend from Kampala) and I went into town with two of the students, Ronald and Daniel. We decided to walk along the road leading to the school with hopes of preaching the Gospel, something we call door to door ministry. I had never done this before and was...

Patience is the official word concerning the past two weeks. While the students are in class, most of our team doesn't have much to do except sit and wait until the studens are out of class. The first week where we sat around was the hardest week here so far. I felt useless and anxious to do something productive until five o clock rolled around and we could hang out with the students. All week I questioned why we were placed in this school. On Friday of that week I had been praying that negative spirit off of me and I also prayed for opportunities; guess what? God completely answered me!...
