    The Lord created in me a visionary. I was created to see things the way they are and know that this world is not what God intended. But there is a positive side to that negative. He created me to dream His Kingdom into life. To walk out in faith and follow convictions that seem so far removed they must be crazy. But the Lord has been working this in me my whole life. And I have never understood why I see things so differently. And I’ve kept quiet, and I’ve grown reserved and I’ve sunk backwards instead of boldly speaking out truth when the Lord puts it on my...

I don’t know whether to talk about the bustling city with dirt roads filled with bicycles, motorcycles, cars, and big trucks where the smell of car exhaust is all you can smell or the roosters crowing and goats and cows everywhere, or the most incredibly friendly people that welcome you wherever you go. But I think I’ll talk about the door to door evangelism that our team has been apart of here in Uganda. Like I said, the people who live here are incredible. Whether it be people from the church, out on the street, or when we do door to door evangelism, they are consistently...

Here is a video of our time in Uganda, it has taken forever to upload this, but please watch to get a glimpse of our ministry! We will try our best to get one up from Kenya as soon as possible!                     Last week we spent our entire time in the HOT african desert, aka the BUSH. After trekking over 55K in total with our huge packs on, we tried our best to soak up the pain our bodies were in so that we could build relationships with the Maasai Tribe people! (by the way, my spelling on these blogs are horrible, so please...

Where do I even begin? Kenya has been such a different experience than Uganda. Kenya, Satiman in particular, has challenged me. Being in the middle of nowhere has stretched me physically and mentally.   Physical challenges were the most obvious. We had to be so careful with our drinking water. We had to ration it out so we would have enough for the entire time. We had a small  selection of food, which isn’t “normal” for us. It was scorching hot during the day and freezing cold at night. We had to kill large insects that would creep into our tents. We had to push...

I think it’s safe to say that even in my Christian faith I have still been on the search for Jesus or a Jesus encounter. It’s so funny because I keep expecting to encounter Him in the most traditional places such as church, christian events, etc… (Don’t get me wrong now, I believe that the presence of God is in such settings and I am thankful for it.) However I also believe that Jesus is a street/ bush dweller. Why? Because I saw His face in a way  will never forget. WE got into the bush on a Saturday. I was excited but at the same time not so excited. (P.S. to...

God has definitely been teaching me about total dependence oh Him, which has been an answer to months of prayer over the past several months.  But this is a hard lesson to learn.  I am writing this in my tent, the only shade in the blazing hot desert.  We are getting near the end of our water so we are learning to use it scarcely.  At night you can hear the lions and hyenas that would like a taste of the remaining goat we slaughtered for dinner that is hanging from a tree near by.  And I tell you this not to sound like I’m complaining, but to illustrate the...
