Uganda Journal Entry #1

I thought I would recap some of the things that happened on the Uganda trip and some of the things that God taught me by simply copying here on the blog a few selections from my journal. Rather than attempting to recapture or reexplain what happened, this will likely prove more valuable and let you in a little closer to feel and experience what God did on this trip.

First Day of Ministry - June 25

On our way to the first village for ministry. Just passed a sign about an internet cafe. It reads, "Where people connect with people." What an ironic thing! In a nation where people very much rely on real flesh-and-blood inter-personal relationships for their survival, the marketing game now is to try to make them feel like online, social networks are the real thing. When, in reality, they already have the real thing. The superficial is being paraded and packaged as the real thing. Crazy times these are!
