I’ve Been Countin’ the Cost

It’s day 16 of being in Uganda. I’ve rafted the Nile, kissed some of the most beautiful babies in the world and shaken more hands than I could ever count. I’ve spent a few days in a gorgeous village going hut to hut just to talk to people and tell them God loves them. I have given my first sermon and learned some local dance moves. On the flip side I’ve shared my bed with a foreign beetle, eaten something I wouldn’t normally call food (I still don’t know what that was) and sweated buckets in the intense African sun. I’ve been...

Expeditions 1

Hello again 🙂 Well there is new stiff happening every day and it’s so exciting. We got a new addition to our team. Miss Allie is another leader that joined us and we are super excited she’s here! We also moved to Tororro and are in a new home. It’s pretty sweet. Saying goodbye to everyone in Malaba was sad! Mamma Gertrude is a wonderful African woman that runs the school we’d been staying in. She told all of us, “You are away from your mamma’s so I’ll be your mamma here in Malaba.” She gave us hugs everyday and told us how...

I haven’t had a shower in a week, and the last shower I took included splashing myself from a bucket. A toilet is definitely not happening any time soon. I am living in the bush of Uganda with the village people. There is not electricity, and we sleep on the floor. We have something somewhat like tea with breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday when it’s already almost too hot to function. These might sound like complaints, but they’re not. There is nowhere I would rather be right now. The scenery here is as close to Heaven as any place on...

“Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord.” they replied. Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith, it will be done to you.” And their sight was restored. -Matthew 9:27-29 I want to see miracles in Africa. Do I believe that God is able? I acknowledge that apart form Him, I can do nothing. My prayer is that He continue to use me to reveal His glory and power to the people of Africa. And I have full confidence and faith that He will. “Come, follow me.” Jesus said, “And I will make...

The Roads are Bad But God is Good

The title of this blog, “The Roads are Bad but God is Good,” is a quote that one of the pastors said yesterday while our vehicle was bumping up and down through all the holes in the road. It’s kind of silly, but it’s essentially the attitude I’ve had to adopt here in Uganda. I’d be lying if I said every day was easy and super fun, but I’ve learned that the words easy and good are not synonymous with one another. Yesterday we moved ministry locations and said goodbye to our first home in Uganda. It was kind of a sad day, as I...

Expedition 3

So for those of you who do not know me yet my name is Daniel Chantlos and I am one of the co-leaders of Expedition Team 3. I just got back from The World Race (Which is 11 countries in 11 months: India, Nepal, Romania, Moldova, Swaziland, Mozambique, South Africa, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia and Malaysia.) on November 19th. It was nice to be home for the holidays but kind of weird since I knew I wasn’t going to be home for long. (Tigers in Thailand) On January 6th, I said good by to family and hometown friends again and headed to Gainsville, GA to meet up with my fellow Racers...
