Our ministry here in Uganda so far has involved a lot of teaching in schools (the two main schools we’ve visited are connected to our contact’s church). It’s been an unexpected blessing and learning curve for me. When we arrive at a school, we spread out among the classes, one or two of us per room depending on the size of the school and the age of the kids. We basically teach whatever the kids are learning that day, especially English classes. I’ve been surprised to find I apparently have a real heart for the Primary 1 group –...

This is what I was made to do as the children saw in unison “Good Morning Teacher Jarah” my heart melts. The last week I’ve had the opportunity to teach in a primary school. The joy that I feel walking into those classrooms is overwhelming. I could feel God using the talents that he has given me to bless these beautiful children. I was who God made me to be standing in front of 40 shining black faces. I feel in love with them instantly and can still hear theyre sweet little voices repeating every English word I say. They are so eager to learn even when theyre using broken...

Today has been the best day for the spirit working for me. We went to Bethel School and did a service for them. Last night I was up till 4 am just dancing in the living room and praying. I had a whole dance come to my head and oh it was wonderful. So I did it at the school for the kids. They seemed to love it. I felt like it wasn’t my best dance but it was so heartfelt. I knew God was working through me and that is all that matters. I am totally in love with worshiping God in dance. And I have found that I feel so much closer to him...

What has now become a blog was originally an email I started writing this morning to my dad. As I reread the email I saw how much it explained about my spiritual journey and wanted to share. Dad, I’m sitting in the living room at my home and it feels like I have a golf ball in my throat. Maybe I want to cry, which would be know surprise at all knowing how deeply I feel things. However, I’m not able to pin point my current emotion. Am I sad? Am I heavy hearted? Am I so overwhelmed with how God works that I can’t do anything but cry? Am I scared? Am I joyful? The...

You make beauty from our ashes and a hope that’s everlasting. the past has been redeemed now forever we will sing You can make all things new only Your power can raise us You can make all things new only Your love can save us all hope is not lost YOU MAKE ALL THINGS NEW I came here expecting God to do BIG things. Yet even with those expectations, He has surpassed them. I came while in the darkness, with no direction, no guidance, no intimacy, no passion….apathetic. But in these short 2 weeks, God has called me out of the darkness and into a season of...

Yes, you read it, I’ve been healed. Now I’m sure that you are wondering what I’ve been healed from?! Car Sickness. haha. Africans have a COMPLETELY new way of driving. It commonly involves very high speeds, driving on all sides of the road, and ALMOST wrecking on the regular. Africa has also healed me of my fear of vomit and of turkeys. but that is another story for another time. Hahaha. Uganda…where do I even begin. Well, for starters, it is NOTHING like the commercials depict. It is by far one of the most beautiful, broken places that I have ever seen....
