Posted on 09. Feb, 2010 by Josh Agerton.
Most of you reading here know of the work that Cornerstone Church has been doing in Uganda in the last few years. It’s an amazing story that God is unfolding and it has been such a blessing for him to invite us into his work there. We have a several trips coming up later this [...]

Fried Grasshopper Snack
Posted on 08. Dec, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
What happens in Africa doesn’t always stay in Africa. Here’s a quick shot of Brian Johnson, our Worship Pastor, putting down a fried grasshopper. We picked these up from a dude selling them out of a bucket while waiting in traffic. Seems that they are the “pork skins” of Uganda. Notice how David-translator and [...]

TIA (this is africa) and Christ is Alive
Posted on 15. Nov, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
I’m here once again in my beloved Uganda. This place is really starting to grow on me, although internet has been kinda sketchy in the last few days (hence the lack of blog posts). This time we have a small but nimble team: Christopher Slagley (AU Building Science Student, Youth Volunteer [...]

Africa On My Mind
Posted on 10. Nov, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
Two days from now I’m going to be in the middle of about 24 hours of travel to Uganda. I’m headed back to Buloba with a small team from Cornerstone to spend some time with our partner, Buloba Community Church. As we go into year 4 of this partnership we will be praying and visioning [...]

The Story of Buloba Community Church

Just wanted to drop in a rough video from a few weeks back in Uganda. It’s just a short telling of the story of Buloba Community Church, who we are partnering with. Hope this helps some of you get a little feel for the lay of the land over there in Buloba. It’s about 7 [...]

TIA: This is Africa…and God is here.
I’ve just gotten settled into a 8 ½ hour flight from Entebbe to Amsterdam and I’m flooded with thoughts about the last 10 days. So here goes a few snapshots from my memory:
The family whose home I visited that had very little to eat. The 6 year old [...]

Mizungoo! It mean’s “white person” and it is what the little kids shout out as our van passes by them. We’ve gotten to know the little kids in the neighborhood where we are staying in Kampala. They shout it out every morning when we leave and at night to welcome us back home. They run [...]

TIA: Farmers Tan is Kickin’
Posted on 20. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
We’ve given out 232 pairs of eye glasses over these last three days thanks to Eyes on Africa (they supplied us with the glasses and all the testing gear.) It’s been a great act of love poured out on these folks. They are all so grateful and we are hopeful for these seeds planted in [...]

TIA: Eyes Seeing
Posted on 18. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
We spent the morning out in the community visiting folks in Buloba. We broke up into teams with church members and just went for it. The door-to-door thing fits great in this culture. People love it. So we went into many people’s homes and just heard their stories. Also had [...]

TIA: African Sabbath
Posted on 17. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
A good day. Our team started out with worship at Gaba Community Church here in Kampala (This is the church that Buloba Community Church was planted out of). It was great to be at Gaba…reminded me a lot of Cornerstone but with an African flare. Then we headed out to Buloba for the [...]
