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
Posted on 21. Jun, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
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:

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: 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 (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 [...]
