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:
The family whose home I visited that had very little to eat. The 6 year old [...]

TIA: Mizungooooooo!
Posted on 21. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
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: Farmers Tan is Kickin’
Posted on 20. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
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 [...]

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 (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 [...]

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 [...]

TIA…The Other Life in Uganda
Posted on 17. Jun, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
Today we took a break from our usual work and spent a day as tourists. We headed over to Jinja to check out the Nile. Yes, the Nile…the longest river in the world which flows north into the Mediterranean Sea. We rode in a boat to see the source of the river…a spring that flowed [...]

TIA…The Lone Voice
Posted on 17. Jun, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
It’s 6:13 AM Tuesday morning. I’m lying in my bed right now typing in the dark. I was just awakened by a single voice from across the road. It’s a man singing to Allah. I’ve woken up to this voice most mornings since I have been here in Uganda. Across the road from where our [...]
