I had the wonderful opportunity to spend a month in Uganda this summer on a Global Expeditions mission trip. It was amazing and God did some awesome things. I am using this blog to share what God did in my life and in the lives of the people of Uganda.

Prayer Points

Prayer can do some amazing things, and prayer needs to be a huge part of my trip to Uganda in a few weeks. Some of you cannot provide financial support and most of you cannot go to Uganda with me, however, everyone can pray! Prayer is a vital part of this trip before I leave, while I'm there and also after I've come home. Here are some things to start praying for before I leave for Uganda:

1. The people of Uganda who I will be meeting and ministering to—That I will be able to touch their lives by showing God’s love to them. Also that their hearts will be opened to hearing the Word of God. And that my team will be of encouragement to the Pastors we will be working with.
2. The Pastors and the people in charge of the ministries in Uganda—That they will be strong and encouraged. Also as they make preparations for our arrival.
3. Uganda—Pray for the leaders of the country to make wise decisions and for the people to stay safe in times of conflict. Also for the peoples’ spiritual, emotional and physical well being.
4. My preparations—That the rest of my financial support will come in. Also that I will be prepared spiritually, emotionally and physically for the various things that I will experience while in Uganda.
5. My Team—As they continue to raise support and prepare. Also for the leaders of this trip.



Thanks to all you prayer warriors out there!! This trip would not be possible without you!

Lions and Zebras and Elephants?? Oh my!

Every Global Expeditions trip has a free day. The free days are days where we can have a fun time and do something exciting and unique in the country. In Panama we went shopping in native markets and in Panama City. It was a great day to just relax and have a good time. In Uganda we will be heading to Murchison Falls and staying overnight in an authentic African Safari reserve. It's going to be amazing!!!
Murchison falls is a huge waterfall on the Nile. The Nile forces its way through a tiny gap (7 meters) and down 43 meters into Lake Albert below. The falls are just 2 degrees above the equator!
While we are there we will be going on a Safari. I'm sure we'll see lots of amazing animals.
I'm very excited for this day and I'm sure it will be a once in a life time type of experience!! :)

34 Days!!

It's almost 1 month before I leave for UGANDA!! I'm getting very excited! While I don't know personally anyone who is going yet, one of the girls in my major has a friend going on the same trip! It's a small world! The funds are still coming in and I'm getting closer and closer to having my trip fully funded!! This is a huge answer to prayer! And thanks to all of you who have donated to me! It is very much appreciated and a huge source of encouragement. I still need around $600, but I know God will provide!
