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 [...]

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, [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

So here I am in Amsterdam at 2:15am CST. But over here it’s 9:15am. My body [...]

Word to Your Mother (Leslie)
Posted on 10. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
Mother’s Day…yes it is. Man, this is a great day. So special to honor mom’s everywhere in this world. But let me tell you about one particularly special Mom.
Leslie has been a mom now for over 5 years. I’ve seen her carry all three of our children with love in her own body. And then [...]

Saw this a few weeks ago and I can’t seem to get this image out of my mind. Check it out…
So, what do you think? Challenged? I hope you are. I sure am.

Being the Church
Posted on 04. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
I love this picture. It’s a picture of the church. It showed up yesterday in The Valley Times under the “Lifestyles” section (which of course is the appropriate place to put this picture rather than the “Religion” section). The caption tells about how several groups came together to help feed some hungry [...]

19 Days Till Uganda
Posted on 21. Apr, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
It’s coming fast. Only 19 days till I head over to Uganda with our crew from Cornerstone. Looking forward to being with a great team of folks…all college students except for myself and Andi Longest, our missions coordinator.
Really looking forward to this time with special Ugandan friends…especially Miriam Namatovu, the 4 1/2 year old little [...]
