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 service there. [...]

TIA: Redemption
Posted on 16. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
Sitting on the back porch right now working on my sermon for tomorrow morning. (Making sure I stay on the porch so John the security guard won’t mistake me for a thief and tag me with his spear.) It’s been an amazing day here. Each day is full of so much, I feel like it [...]

TIA: Don’t Worry Leslie, We’re Safe!
Posted on 15. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
OK, so just a minute ago I met John, our black belt security guard. Been here three nights now and had no clue he was here (yes, he’s that stealth-like). So here’s the deal. We’re staying in a house that is surrounded by a wall with razor wire on the top. John hangs out in [...]

TIA (This is Afica)…Again
Posted on 14. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
Something I learned on my last trip to Uganda was a little phrase…”TIA”. It means “This is Africa”. It’s what you say when you are driving through town and a goat runs in front of you or when you get into a crusty old fishing boat to go across the lake and there are no [...]

Amsterdam, Between Two Worlds
Posted on 13. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
For those of you who don’t know…I’m on my way to Africa right now. Making a trip over with a team from Cornerstone as we continue our partnership with Buloba Community Church and the surrounding community there. So here I am in Amsterdam at 2:15am CST. But over here it’s 9:15am. My body is beginning [...]

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 a [...]

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 [...]

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 up on a [...]

Amsterdam, Between Two Worlds
Posted on 18. Jun, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
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 from our trip…bringing me [...]

TIA…Signing Out
Posted on 18. Jun, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
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 morning [...]
