Greetings from Kagadi! Today we awoke bright and early (some earlier than others due to jet-lag). We have gone non-stop, but today’s work has been incredible!! We have seen God work in amazing ways! This morning when I awoke I read this passage in Romans 10 because I was somewhat nervous about going door to door to share the Good News.
But how are they to call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
I wish I could describe the feeling I felt today as I shared my faith and led a young boy named Vincent to Christ. I was somewhat nervous yet so very excited. I am amazed that God can use such a vessel as me. I am humbled that He called me to
Something else I am so humbled by is the selfless devotion to the Gospel the Ugandans have. They have said time and time again how amazing it is for us to come all the way from the USA to share God’s love with their people, BUT they have no idea how blessed and encouraged we are by their devotion and love for their own people. I hope I take back their zeal for Christ in sharing God’s love to the States.
Lastly, I am so encouraged by my teammates. I have such an overwhelming love for them. They each have such unique qualities they bring to the team, and it’s awesome to see everyone in action. I am truly in awe by God’s power and grace.
To conclude, I want to thank you for your prayers and comments. We are truly blessed to have such caring friends and families back home who are lifting us up. Please continue to pray that God goes before us and for divine appointments. Also, please pray for the team because we are exhausted yet want to do and experience everything possible. Please pray that God will multiply our rest and that we rely solely on Him for everything.
On a side note and to clear up any misunderstandings…I am not sick, so no worries. I just had a bit of motion sickness on the plane ride here but nothing a Phenergan can’t fix (thanks to Beth). And by the way, I don’t sleep with my mouth open; however, Matt did drool.
All For HIS Glory,

Oh, I love the feet picture and the title of this blog! Of course, Paul and I knew immediately which set of feet were KK's. (I'll let her explain why.) We coud pick those paddles out of any line up! I would love to see a face shot of everyone.(Hint Matt) Kendall, how exciting to be given the honor to help rescue those who were in the Kingdom of darkness and now are being brought into the Kingdom of the Son whom God loves. The gates of hell are pushed a little further back, and God's Kingdom prevails! I think Richard Pratt is the one that said we will be more motivated to share Christ as we see the power of the Gospel change lives. Your zealous work in Uganda is spilling over to me-I am looking for more opportunities to share Christ in my daily life. Thank you for the example you have put before those of us watching and praying. May the Lord add blessing to your love and faithfulness. Tell KK we love her and pray for her continously, as we lift all of you before the throne of grace. Much Love, Brenda
Hi everyone! Kendall, I was so excited that you wrote today's post.:) You all are encouraging me, and those verses in Romans 10 have encouraged me very much. I make sharing the Gospel difficult when it's a matter of, "How can they believe if they have not heard?" We are supposed to go and tell. The rest is up to God. Let's see if I can put that to practice in my own life.:)
Still praying!

Kendall, that verse was one of my favorites while in Uganda last year! And I wasn't kidding about your feet getting dirty either was I?! I will be praying for continued boldness in sharing the unfathomable riches of the gospel, and for strength to fight jet lag. Have you met a young teenage girl named Jocelyn yet? or Maureen from Pastor Francis' church.? If you have, tell them hi and Praise the Lord! Love you! Tell the team hi!
Good Morning Kagadi...
I am loving the fact that each of you are blogging on this site...I can see and feel the passion for the mission thru different "eyes" with each entry.
God bless you as you serve Him in this most unique opportunity.
I leave you with: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint" - Isiah 40:31
Kendall, that verse was one of my favorites while in Uganda last year! I will be praying for continued boldness in sharing the unfathomable riches of God's grace, and for strength and good health for the team. Have you met a young girl named Jocelyn or Maureen yet? If so, give them a hug from me! Love you and everyone on the team!
Our family is praying for you! We have been reading the updates as a family. The children were amazed about the water being carried in jugs by all - just after we had brushed our teeth and left the water running! Such a blessing to get your reports.Greg Pittman family

I'm praying that the Lord would reveal Himself to the Ugandans as well as you all.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. - Philippians 2:3
