I’m sitting here in my office this morning just getting ready for church today. Thinking of all the people that will walk through our doors this morning to worship God. Some will come from the peak of a mountain and some will come from the lowest valley. Some will think they are all alone…living in [...]

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 a [...]

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 [...]
