What are we learning here in Uganda?



Here is Team A bringing water back from the bore hole

In Luke 9 Jesus asks the question. Who do the crowds say that I am?.......then he asks, Who do you say that I am? He is speaking with men who have know him for sometime now and they know he is a great teacher, heals the sick and feeds the 5000. What is he asking?

We feel like Jesus is asking the same question to us at this point to us.
Who am I?
You think of me in one way in the States but I am breaking out of those boxes here in Uganda.
People here in Uganda trust God for their very lives, at home we trust him only if we get into trouble.
God has to come through here. At home, if its doesn't work out we have a back up plan.
there are no backup plans here.

We have moved from one reality to see another larger reality.
We will not be the same. We must integrate this larger view of God and not return to our smaller, controlled God.

We hope the next post will be on Tuesday
Tom for all the Uganda team

  1. Praise God that you all will never be the same-welcome to the dirty (but richer) side of life.

    Let Jesus ruin your life in a good way.
