Favorite

If someone were to ask me what my favorite part of Uganda was, my answer wouldn't be the culture or the children, however the children are a close second. My favorite part is when all of us missionaries are in the living room with just a guitar and a bongo drum and all 20 of our voices praising Jesus with everything we have. We are continually being poured out. Pouring all of our love out to the children. When all of us come together at the end of the day to worship the One we dropped everything for is by far my favorite part. All of us hungry and desperate for God's presence. I know some will say, "you can worship God at home, why isn't your favorite part working with the African children"? There is just something about a group of college aged believers who come from different backgrounds and different countries to come together and worship our Savior. We are all away from the comforts of home for different amounts of time, but we are all in this together. Hands raised, voices singing at their limit ad God's presence. We are all family, and that is my favorite part of this experience.

"But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him." John 4:23
