Snapshots from the team



The past two weeks we have been blessed to have a team from the States join us in our life and ministry here in Uganda. They spent time with our pastors in Nebbi and got to see a bit of the daily realities of life in Arua. We are so thankful to Jesus for the time we shared together.
The team visited small groups that our pastors are working with to together learn God's stories and share them with their communities.
Above is a group acting out the story of people bringing their children to Jesus!


After three years we humbly admit we still have MAJOR mis-communications at times.
We asked our pastors to share their stories with a small group from their communities.
Many of the small groups were well over fifty people like the one above!


Matt Burton led the team from Ooltewah UMC in Tennessee and preached in Akaba one Sunday morning. Jesus helped him at every point and he was such a blessing to us!!!


The ways Jesus freed the vehicle from mud were evidences of His hand upon this team throughout their time here.


They brought bibles to share with Elsie Jayne's friends!!!
She really has been much more excited about that than this picture shows.


It was an INCREDIBLE BLESSING to us to have our sister Cricket here!!!
She was a great blessing to the team as well as a super story teller and a joy to all of the children she met! Our children particularly enjoyed meeting a REAL auntie! :)

Some of you pray regularly for pastor Cosmas...this is his wife Joyce!


Bonnie Burton stepped in and was involved in every aspect of the story telling ministry.
She is pictured here with Benson after training on a Saturday.


Billy is here with some of men from Opio David's church (Opio on the left).

Another happy part of teams is sharing with them Uganda's beautiful wildlife! Here are some elephants we got to see from the Nile River on a boat ride!!!
