They have impacted my life

I don't think I can narrow it down to just one experience, but I just love how much joy the people in Uganda have and it's not because of early possessions, it's because of God. We all can learn so much from the Ugandans. They have impacted my life and the way I live in so many ways. Every time I go, I leave a part of my heart there. I love how we go to make an impact on them but in reality, they make much more of an impact on us.

Juliet fell in love with Ugandan children.

The children just wanted to be loved and held. They didn't care who you were, your past or your struggles they loved unconditionally. I see why Jesus told us to be like children. "If you can change a life of one child you can change an entire generation." We will never forget this great memory. Jessica

THANK YOU JESUS

See, when they say God can do bigger than your wildest dreams...THEY WERE NOT LYING! I went to Uganda with the intention of bathing only 100 kids. I didn't even raise up up half of the money I needed to do this thing. I was bummed, discouraged, and beating myself up. We get to Uganda, AND WE BATHE A MINIMUM OF 136 kids. I said minimum! We lost count after 136 because some of the kids couldn't pronounce their names so they weren't written on our list! The best footage I've ever taken in my life. Please bear with me, the full video our trip is coming soon!

#ACFUgandaMissions2014 I owe ever single young person that came to Uganda this year MY LIFE! Shout out to God because He did it! We were just vessels that He used! — feeling blessed.

Had a great mission experience

I went to to a different district last year with the High School and Young Adults Group for missions, and that trip was definitely a life-changing and humbling experience. But these ACF-Mission trips have changed my life even more, and molded me to become more of a disciple of Christ. Although I’ve known for awhile the majesty of God’s sovereignty, it somehow still never ceases to amaze me. What a trip it has been, and what a blessing it is to be here! God is good!

The day after we arrived, we immediately started fulfilling our goal for the trip: to evangelize to the lost souls of Uganda. Immediately, God started working on our hearts. Immediately, God started to bring us more and more out of our comfort zone. Talking to complete strangers about the Gospel of Jesus Christ was more of an ambition than an actual practice. Although personally, I’ve had experience being a part of evangelizing with a group of brothers and sisters, I’ve never had too much experience witnessing to somebody this much one on one until last month.

Since then, I have been extremely blessed by the fellowship of this group, the stories that have shared, and the quiet times that I’ve experienced with God. I am extremely grateful that God has allowed me the privilege to be a part of such an incredible journey with such an amazing ACF family. The unity that we’ve built so far as brothers and sisters in Christ is one that will last far beyond this mission trip. The experiences we’ve had witnessing to the people of Kumi and Fort portal have not only been humbling and fulfilling, but they’ve also been disheartening, tiresome, shocking, and sometimes even discouraging. However, we take refuge in the fact that our complete joy is in Christ alone. Not only do we have an entire group of zealous men and women who have a passionate zeal for Christ to help encourage us and strengthen our spirits, we have the ultimate source of encouragement and strength from the Book of Life itself, God’s Holy Word. As God promises us in Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble,” and God’s promises alone are sufficient enough to ease our troubled hearts. For we know that our goal is merely to plant the seed in the unbeliever’s mind, and by God’s providential will, He will open their heart, which will grow the root, that will sprout the trunk, which will give life to the tree. It is such a refreshing promise from God that we are mere vessels required only to transport the Gospel, and that it is nothing in and of ourselves that can change the hearts and minds of those lost souls. Although we’re all exhausted, aching and sore, our disposition will forever be joy unspeakable, solely because Jesus Christ sacrificed His life so that we may live. We have a completely sovereign God who will not only comfort us when fulfilling the Great Commission, but who will ultimately, in His timing, add soldiers to His Kingdom in order that His glory may be revealed and His will be accomplished.

2013 ACF missions

God showed up loud and big! It was so obvious that God is real, He loves us, and desires to use us to bless others. We saw God and felt God in so many different ways. People were more vulnerable than ever before. It got weird. I saw more passion, more glory, and more joy in those two weeks than I have in very long time. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE! MAX

For those of us who are blessed to travel to the most underprivileged areas on this earth as Missionaries and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ; we always return saying “Wow-best mission trip I’ve ever been on.” Well here I go again. This was the best mission trip the Lord ever allowed me to be part of.

We are there.....

May I just start with the Lord is good! We've been here for 14 days and its been amazing to see the work the Lord is doing. It's been a privilege serving with the Ugandan brethren and their families. I am so blessed to see how we have blessed the people here. God has definitely grown me in many different ways and my walk with the Lord is much stronger than it was before we left. I’m so thankful for this opportunity to share the gospel and the love of Christ with the lost! The work of the Lord has done here can never be changed and He is only going to continue to grow His kingdom in Africa.
