Well, we survived Uganda and are in KENYA! Uganda was such a wonderful experience but I am really looking forward to the upcoming weeks. One big thing that God has been showing me is what it means to fear Him. I was having some quiet time at the village the other day and I crossed a verse that said something about fearing God. I realized that I really don’t know what it is to fear the Lord. I’ve heard the phrase before but I have never ran after it full force. But God said buckle up! He took me to Deut. 10 beginning in verse 12. The whole section is titled Fear the Lord in my...

It would seem odd to a Ugandan male to sit on the ground and peel cassava, but not to me. Connecting with the community of villagers in Morkabu through this everyday task gave me a glimpse in to what eternal servitude is. Thessalonians tells us to lead a quiet life, work with our hands, and win the respect of outsiders; the born again Christians in rural Uganda live this everyday. WIth God in their hearts and light in their eyes plowing begins early before the afternoon rain, and only for the keen of eye and awareness of heart can feel and see the existence of innocence that is still...

Anna’s Story   On Monday, we went evangelizng with our host pastor’s wife. The first home we went to was that of Anna. We sat with her for over an hour, hearing her story and telling her about Christ. Praise God that we had hope to offer her. You see, Anna is maybe 25, but doesn’t know her age. She was brought here from a primitive tribe that doesn’t record age by her husband many years ago. She’s as thin as a twig and lives in a room smaller than a small bedroom. She has 3 children, a 10 yr. old, 3 yr old, and 1 yr old. The baby is the skinniest...

10:30 pm. It’s dark outside and I have to go to the bathroom like none other. At home, that’s an easy fix. Roll out of bed, walk ten steps, do some business, and flop back into bed. But in the village of Morekebu, Uganda, what stands between me and sweet, sweet relief is a corn field and The Unknown. This is Africa. Crickets here are the size of a small car (which means the size of a computer mouse, no joke), spiders look like octopuses (giant butts and beady eyes), and all kinds of wild, roaming animals that could sneak attack at any given moment...

  —–This is WILLIAM BOSTWICK blogging with Lindsay’s username—– This is my first blog so far! I have had such an incredible learning experience with the Lord ever since we arrived in this country. The first week in Uganda we were in a rural village called Kwappa. There was no electricity, no roads, no running water, no anything really. It was just a farming community spread out over the rolling green hills of Uganda, where people eat what they grow in their front yards, and live in mud/straw huts. And this is where our ministry began. Each morning we would...
