—–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....

On Thursday, I was sitting in the “living room” talking with our host pastor and other pastors in Morekebu. They were insisiting that we come back to their village. Each one asked for our email addresses and demanded that we keep in touch. Pastor Francis began to tell me how much it meant for the team to be there. Never before had missionaries, especially white people, gone to that village. The people were willingly accepting Christ because we are proof that Christianity is a worldwide belief, not a conjured up story that’s only in Uganda. He said, unfortunately, that the...

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...

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...

First of all, the photo is of me and some students at Rock High School, which is the school I spoke at. The two girls on either side of me are really interested in art and the girl on the left in the photo sells her own paintings. I was really excited to meet them! You also might have noticed my hair is in braids. We got some weaves!   A few days ago, while doing door to door evangelism, I met Topista. She is an older woman who has been saved but was still very eager to talk and pray with us. After we were done sharing what we had to say to the small group of women Topista was...
