Picture of a Servant…Timothy
Meet Timothy, a Ugandan in his mid 20’s who served as one of our translators while on our trip this month. Although we were from two very different worlds we somehow just hit it off instantly. We spent a lot of time cutting up and joking on each other but we’d often fall into […]
Picture of a Servant…Miriam
This is Mariam, a 76 year old woman who lives just across from Buloba Community Church in Uganda. After arriving in Buloba our first day she came out onto her front porch and insisted that all 10 of us come into her home for a visit. Once we were all in she made her way […]
Adjusting Back
Well our team made it back home from Uganda last Thursday. If you haven’t seen the photo album yet from this trip you can check it out here. It’s been a great few days to just be with Leslie and the kids again. Right now they are all napping so I’m catching […]
Amsterdam, Between Two Worlds
It’s 12:32 AM in Auburn, AL…but 7:33AM here in Amsterdam. We just finished an 8 hour leg from Uganda. Now have a few hours before a 9 hour flight back to Atlanta. But here in Amsterdam it’s like being between two very different worlds. I’ve been sitting here looking at pictures […]
TIA…Signing Out
In 20 minutes our team is heading to the Airport. Please keep us in your prayers…have about 25 hours of traveling ahead. We had a great final day but with very mixed emotions. Ready to hold my kids and Leslie but heartbroken to leave such special frineds I have made here.
We spent the […]
TIA…The Other Life in Uganda
Today we took a break from our usual work and spent a day as tourists. We headed over to Jinja to check out the Nile. Yes, the Nile…the longest river in the world which flows north into the Mediterranean Sea. We rode in a boat to see the source of the river…a spring that flowed […]
TIA…The Lone Voice
It’s 6:13 AM Tuesday morning. I’m lying in my bed right now typing in the dark. I was just awakened by a single voice from across the road. It’s a man singing to Allah. I’ve woken up to this voice most mornings since I have been here in Uganda. Across the road from where our […]
TIA…People Need to See Jesus
We had a big day today. I saw Jesus do something I have never seen before. Tonight we are praising him… I celebrated with a snicker’s bar. To share this with you I want to talk about two things.
PEOPLE NEED TO SEE JESUS
Today was the third time our team has gone out to visit people […]
TIA (This is Africa) Continued
Still going strong in the great nation of Uganda. It has been an amazing time here. Feel like I am experiencing much more than I can process right now and that it will take a long time to unpack all that is happening here. To give a brief update here are some quick snapshots…
Worshiped at […]
TIA…THIS IS AFRICA
A little phrase we have learned here is TIA…standing for “This is Africa”. Learned this from Patrick, our Ugandan liaison for Cornerstone. So when we are driving and a motorcycle is speeding in between our van and a mac truck on a narrow dirt road we all say…”TIA”. Or when we see cows eating garbage […]
