Hey everyone! I hope you’re all doing well! This is Anna, I just wanted to share about an experience I had a week or so ago when our team went to visit the hospital. So, our team went to do hospital ministry (praying for the sick) and eventually we ended up in the children’s ward. The children’s ward is always a difficult place for me to be.  Seeing the sick and hurting is always difficult, and even more so when it is babies who are the ones hurting. I find myself asking, “Why, God??” a lot. Summer and I stopped beside a lady who was sitting on the floor...

The first day of training camp, I heard God whisper the word, “patience” in my ear. At first, I was hesitant to believe that it was really God speaking to me and not just a random thought that popped into my mind. But, throughout the past few weeks, God has continually been whispering (sometimes shouting) that same word to me, asking me to trust in Him with all of my heart and to patiently wait for Him to move in my life and the lives of those around me. About two weeks ago, we traveled to Iganga to a school/orphanage called Hope Home. I have to admit that at this point of the...

On Saturday the 2nd, our entire family got to go on a bit of an adventure.  We loaded up one car and a Matatu (local van transportation) and headed to Jinja to see the source of the Nile, some local falls, and Lake Victoria.  It was definitely an African experience that we won’t soon forget. As we pulled into the park, you could feel the lighter temperature rising from the river.  It was really beautiful.  Lush trees lined the river banks, and the current of the river ran quickly south to north.  One of the Niles interesting qualities. After dipping our hands...

Here is a taste of some of the ministry that we have been doing in Uganda: School Ministry:  We travel to different schools where we spend the morning just loving on kids!  It is amazing how holding the hand of a small child can bring such smiles to their faces.  We often start the time splitting into age groups to play games.  Everything from relay races to silly songs!  The kids love it!  Then after some chill time, just getting to know the kids, we come together for a bible story.  What a great way to show the love of God to so many children each day....

TIA.  This is Africa.(Sorry for yet another TIA blog from a Africa team.)   This is a phrase that each team learns and lives while on the field in Africa. Things here are just not the same as in America. Our girls have compiled a list of the TIA moments that they have already had in Uganda in the last 6 days. The team had done a great job jumping in and doing ministry. They have made their leaders proud. They are a group of ladies that live out “Power in Love”. The Lord has used them already and has so much more for them to come. Freedom is being experienced. Love...
