We just spoke with the team leaders and they've all arrived safely in Uganda.  They are in route to their ministry site via some very long bus rides and will be settling in these next few days and getting some orientation from their host.  Expect to see some blogs rolling out in the next few days as they find internet. Thanks for all the prayers for this team! The Passport field support team

Ahh!!! It’s almost launch time. These past couple of days we have formed community, felt the presences of our Lord, and been completely set free from burdens. It’s been an amazing journey already and we have only known each other a couple days. Just a couple things we have learned and experienced while here at training camp includes: 1) how to make a tent given only two tarps and a few pieces of ropes 2) there isn’t a Statue of Liberty in Uganda 3) don’t explore to much on a wall behind the falls...

Do we [Christians] look any different than those who do nice things? If there is a difference, what is it? Niceness is not our calling as Christians. Romans 1:16, " For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." This message is the difference. We are NOT humanitarians because we have the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am not just a really friendly traveler. We bring a message. We bring the voice of God and His name that is above every name. When we say we are Christians, I proclaim...

On Friday evening, strangers sat around the dinner table filling the air with small talk. Conversing and racking our brains for questions to ask these people we would live life with for the next two months. The next few days kept us busy building shelters we needed to trust to sleep in, making banners representing our team as a whole, play-act witnessing to a tribe that knew no English and spit water in your face, and using teamwork to succeed at the various activities planned for us. Overcoming the awkwardness and diving deeper into each others stories has brought us together. Today,...

This week has blown my mind already and we’re still in America! The night before I left for this insane adventure I spent time with close friends/mentors and family and as we were praying, my worship pastor felt God was leading Him to ask what my name means, it means brave. He told me that He felt that there was more to that and to be sensitive to that.  As I sat in my seat on the airplane Friday morning a movie preview came on and surely enough it was about a girl and the title was “brave”. All I could do was to simply smile and recognize that God is trying to show me...

There is power in the name of Jesus….to break every chain.                                                                   ….to break every chain.                                                                   ….to break every chain. Regret. Fear. Comfort. Inadequacy. Failure. These are all words that the enemy tries to use to hold power over us. They bind, suffocate, and choke the person inside of us that God created us to be and leaves us with feelings of hopelessness and entrapment. These are all...
