Its been two weeks now for our team in Uganda, and we’re heading to Kenya later today, for the Massi tribe!  But lets talk about what God did in Uganda, I could go on and on about the miraculous things God did and is still doing, but I can only pick one thing because i don’t have much time.  Well when we first got into Uganda we had to drop the other team off into the town of tororo, where they were going to be staying for 1 week, so our team got out with them and talked for a while, then prayed for eachother, then we parted ways.  When our team got to where we...

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...

Lord, I trust You…or do I?   Just 3 nights into ministry in the Morekebu village this past week, we were woken up by moaning. I thought it would stop or decrease, but it didn’t. Should I go investigate the problem? Is it culturally acceptable to see if my host is okay? What if I embarrass her? These are the questions that plagued my mind for at least 15 minutes. Finally, I got up and walked to her room to check on her. When I walked in, I immediately knew we had to pray. I checked with the other girl in the room to see if it was okay for us to pray over her. She agreed....

Back from “the bush”! AKA, Kwapa village and Morekebu church, and back in Tororo for one week until Kenya. Etched in my heart are the Ugandan children from the village. One of the little girls we met was Mercy, who couldn’t have been more than four years old with a sassy spirit and gorgeous eyes. A few days ago I was in the shade trying to escape the heat, and I saw her chasing butterflies around the hut. In the midst of a long day, watching a child errupt in laughter and chase the butterflies in the sun made me think of my own joy – of all the kids I’ve...

Holy WOW did God do some incredible things this past week in the bush! I could go on and on about the life of simplicity, rice and beans, walking literally uphill both ways to ministry and church, holding babies, playing with kids, praying for healing, and team bonding, but Internet here is incredibly frustrating… so I will just go with the highlight.   A big part of our ministry here has been hut to hut evangleism. The culture here is incredibly welcoming, and every hut we went to people were eager to shake our hands and offer us a seat. I have been absolutely astounded as to...
