Hey everyone!  This past week and a half in Uganda may be the most amazing week I have had in my life.  God has done so much already and I know he will continue to do so. When we first got here we came to the capital city of Kampala. Then after a day of planning we set on our way to Gulu a area about 7 hours north. We went there with a team from a local church that is near Kampala. Everyone we went with was amazing and these people are so on fire for the Lord. When we got to Gulu we started going to different schools having song and dances and dramas as well as preaching the...

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 numerous Ugandans we nearly hit we were little more than a big blue blur going way too fast. We were on our way to the war torn town of Gulu traveling as a group of 35 in the back of a truck with all of our equipment underneath us and around us. Gulu is a place that has spent more than twenty years being trapped in the middle of a rebel war. Its children have been kidnapped and brainwashed, scarring them for life and begging the attention of international aid agencies.   The ride to Gulu is a memory just begging to be written about. We may have been a blur to those we met along...

   I’ve definitely always been a type B personality. I’m not a planner, schedules aren’t second nature to me and I’ve never had a hard time just going with the flow and seeing what happens. However, I am no match for Uganda. Their culture is just at such a different pace than the U.S- I’ve seen one clock since I’ve been here. Everyone is just layed back and doesn’t have an agenda. It’s refreshing to see a community just chilled out.      This past tuesday, I felt first hand how Ugandans don’t seem...

Howdy yall   I just saw my sister’s video message, listening to “i can only imagine”, i’m feeling pretty good I had my first soda in 7 years. That pretty all we have to drink other than water Had my first african bus ride. That was a experience. There was a stretch of road that, no joke, had a speed bump every 30 feet. What would have taken less than three hours in an american car on american roads took us over 5 hours. First time to see the effects of the LRA. I saw the mass grave of a village that was burnt to the ground. The feeling of being where a huge...

We have been in Lira for one week, and God is already moving in powerful ways. It’s been so neat to see the team just going for it all the way, and to see each of us challenge each other to go even deeper with God. People are getting plugged into ministry, whether that be hut to hut evangelism, preaching via radio waves, teaching at the school, or preaching at noon prayer. God is teaching us and growing us in so many ways it’s phenomenal.   Tuesday I had an interesting opportunity of traveling to a remote village that was the site of a former IDP camp during the war, and...
