God is moving here and it is absolutely rocking my world! There is nothing like our God! This week we were a part of a crusade and joined with a team from Portland, Oregon. We saw hundreds of people come to know Jesus and now we all as a team feel called to go back to the secondary schools and help them continue this new relationship with Jesus as we disciple them and teach them to disciple others! We want people here to know that it doesn't end with the decision of accepting Christ … that is just the beginning! Our God is a God who instills power in us and calls us friend...

SORRY!!!!  I have been absolutely terrible about this whole blogging thing.. whoops 🙂   There’s just no good way to sum up the last 4? weeks.  (Is that how long we’ve been here?  We’ve completely lost track)  It’s been an incredible roller coaster of God pulling us out of our comfort zones, us adjusting and getting comfortable there, and Him pulling us out again.  It’s been awesome!  This last week we got the opportunity to work with a team from Portland who was here doing a crusade.  The way things worked I only got...

Hey everyone.  I continue to pray for you all at home and I hope that you all are having a great summer.  We have been back here in Kampala for the past week and our mission this week was to do door to door ministry in the local apartment complex here in the city.  So we split our team up into groups of two or three and went out knocking on peoples doors.  We met many different people of many different races and religions and I was amazed at how many different kinds of people you meet in Africa that aren’t African.  We met Chinese, french, Indian, arabic and...

We are no longer a team, we are a legit family. I love being with these people. I could have not asked for a better support system. And to think, we were strangers less than 5 weeks ago. God has truly blessed us with a compassion for each other, and I am so thankful for that!   I met a ton of people this week doing door to door ministry in the ‘flats’ in  Kampala. One defining thing that ran through many of the people who were not Christians was this: the reason they had not accepted Christ was not because they didn’t believe.. but they felt that they needed to...

As we were doing door to door ministry in the flats this week we had many awesome encounters that were spiritually uplifting. One particular story that has stuck out in my mind happened Wednesday afternoon. We walked up to a door that was brightly decorated and had a sticker of an Indian God on the front of it. Many thoughts were going through my mind, the biggest one being "We are going to get this door slammed in our faces if we knock on it". We decided to go ahead with it anyway and low and behold they do not slam the door, but instead invited us inside.    The...

As most of you blog-readers already know, our team in Lira, Uganda, has been going to an HIV/AIDS support group on Friday afternoons.  It’s made up of about 50-ish women who love the Lord and are living with HIV/AIDS.    The last time we were there, Jenny and Beth did some teaching, we sang a song, and then in return, they sang a song and danced for us.  The song and dance they performed was one of the happiest expressions of joy I’ve ever heard/seen.  I, along with most of our team, assumed it translated to some sort of praise/worship song sung to our...
