It’s a simple system of using salt and solar power to purify water. This past fall Emile made her 2nd trip with Cornerstone Church over [...]

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 good [...]

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 Extraordinaire), Brian Johnson (Cornerstone [...]

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 [...]

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 a few opportunities to share [...]
