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 [...]

Posted on 13. Jan, 2010 by Josh Agerton.

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.

A Challenging Thought
Posted on 01. Oct, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
I’m starting out a study day and just have a challenging thought.
