Worship, Praise, Dance, and the Nile??

         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...

United in Faith

What a great 13 days it has been! God is so wonderful! I can’t wait to see what He has in store for the rest of this trip! I love to worship with the people here in Mbarara, Uganda. They have such a beautiful faith and love for God. It is a great reminder that God is everywhere and speaks all languages .He does not care where you are from or how you look or what you sound like. We can always be sure that when we are going some where to spread the gospel we will find some sort of unity because of our faith. God is everywhere in this country and it is so amazing! Everyone is very...

Strength in Christ

I’m having a difficult time knowing where to start this blog after all I have experienced these last few days.  God has proved faithful in our time in Mbarara, Uganda, and I am continually amazed at His provision and guidance.  We have amazing hosts, Pastor Solomon and his wife Lillian, who have provided us with a place to stay and 3 meals a day. I have been amazed at how the Lord works.  I cannot even begin to describe all that I have learned by living here.  We have no electricity, no toilets, no running water, and I am more content than I have ever been in my...

Thankful

In Mbarara, Uganda, they wake up by the rooster crow and with the sun. Probably the same rooster that will be for dinner, if they’re lucky enough to have meat. I am privileged  to be able to live life with them for a few weeks. Our week started with a powerful five hour long church service Sunday morning. Our team preached and did a few songs, and then Pastor Solomon  preached and their worship team showed us what traditional African worship looked like. Needless to say, it was good  morning cardio. Yesterday and today, we started school ministry. Beth and I have an...

Wow! That Was Fast

There is so much that has happened over the past week. I don’t even know where to begin. I guess I’ll start with when we got here. So we leave the airport and ride an hour or so to a hostel where we are staying. When we get there, they don’t have us on the books so we camp out that night. Next day, we wake up early and go white water rafting in the Nile. It was crazy! That night we stay in a nice little resort where it only cost $10 a night to stay and we have some the best spaghetti I’ve ever eaten. The next morning we wake up and go bungee jumping. I managed to go...

I See the Cloud and I Jump in

Before going to Africa you always here about how beautiful the people are here, I always assumed this to be true, however you can’t really understand it until you are here. Some of them are just so filled with joy that you just cant help laughing and smiling with them. We are staying with a Pastor and his wife, Peace. They have a house about the size of a large trailer home in the US and there is about twenty people staying there. It is incredible; it doesn’t feel that crowded either.  We are just now starting to get into the groove of ministry, today I taught English to...
