Post Uganda Mission Trip Thoughts

 Here's a few thoughts from some of our Uganda team members Post Mission Trip Jeremy Mikeska I was once again amazed that the God of the Universe partners with man to accomplish His purposes. He desires for us work- to think, plan, and pray for people in finding ways to help them see the truth and walk in it. He doesn’t need me, but He longs to use me. And since He knows the questions that others will have when we arrive to teach/serve, He moves in our hearts (sometimes months/years before) to prepare the answers. Our dependence on Him is constant in the studying and writing of lessons and also in answering questions on the fly. The Spirits movement and use of me truly leaves me awestruck! Why would He use me? Simply because He created me to do good works and saved me by grace to give me the opportunity to do those good works.    I am also amazed again at the uniqueness of His people. I was blessed to hear the students we were teaching share that they recognized the diffe...

Uganda Day 6

 Today our team began the travel back to the United States. We enjoyed a day of resting & shopping. The pandemic has really affected the economy of Uganda. Many stores & shops that we had previously visited on prior trips were closed down & for some permanently. We enjoyed a team lunch together at a favorite place, Java House and then headed to the airport to begin the travel protocols back to the US. There were some hiccups along the way but Praise God that He worked them all out for our good & His glory!          The men indulged with some delicious chocolate shakes at Java House We all made it through the travel protocols back to Dubai  Waybaleye Jesu ! 1 Corinthians 15:58

Uganda Day 5

 Today was our team’s last day of teaching. Our FBC ladies came to class in the traditional Ugandan Gomez dress. This is a highlight for our Ugandan sisters especially fixing our gomez’s. The ladies finished the Book of Esther & were encouraged to be ready for the Final Purim when Jesus returns as our blood avenger & to continue to live in community with one another.  The men finished their broad scope of the New Testament as it pertains to the church & its history.  Our teams also took some time to talk about application & how they will apply what they have learned to their lives & those they minister with. After our teachings, Bishop Michael Kyomya gave a benediction to us all not to be “watered down believers”, but to be bold & courageous and to take what we have learned to the ends of the world.  For our Ugandan ladies, this was their third & final year and it was time to Graduate. Each lady received a certificate of completion. We are...
