My Favorite Non-Profits

So through the years, I've come across some of my favorite non-profits. I am very cautious about who I speak out for because unfortunately not everyone is honest.  But here are the ones that I follow besides Refuge:

This is my friends Vicki and Klint's ministry that they are currently living out in Jinja, Uganda. Their mission is to teach and empower the people of Uganda. Klint teaches Farming God's way to the villagers and ministers to the men of the villages, among other things.  This two little listings include soooo much more than meerly teaching farming and ministering.  Check out their website to see what the principles of farming God's way does for the local community.  Farming by this methods yields a HUGE crop.  Also, when you visit Uganda, you see hundreds if not thousands of men on the streets just hanging out. You also see many ministries for women, but none for men.  Klint wants to change this.  He pours his life into the men of the city and is doing a great job.  
Subscribe to the newsletters and support them. I can tell you I've seen first hand what they are doing and your money WILL go to the right place.



Oh my goodness this place has a special part of my heart.  We visited this ministry in Jan and I 100% back up what they do.  A jigger is a sand flea that reaks havoc on the villages. It stigmatizes people and causes excruciating pain.  This organization provides jigger removal, housing for patients, education, shoes and unconditional love. (Most people with jiggers are considered cursed and shunned by their villages).  They are needing a new outreach house and are in the process of raising funds.  Subscribe to their newsletter and support them!  

Vera and I will be hosting a shoe cutting party very soon!! So start collecting your old blue jeans.








If you are looking for a non-profit to support, please consider Refuge127, SoleHope, or Heart4Uganda.

What are we listening to?

I recently purchased this book called Women of the Word which was recommended to me by a friend.  It's a year long devotional of 52 women in the Bible.  I'm on week one and God is already using it to teach me.  EVE WHAT GOD SAID:  You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die. WHAT EVE TOLD THE ENEMY GOD SAID:  We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, "You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and  you must not touch it,  or you will die." WHAT THE ENEMY TOLD EVE:  You will not certainly die,  for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. First -  Eve added to God's word. Second - so did the enemy. Seeing this leads me to ask two questions: 1. How often do I add to God's word based off o

The big T

So I guess I've decided to keep going with this blog. Surprisingly, I'm finding that I like writing on this thing. My thoughts are mainly for me but maybe someone might feel the same about things and it helps to know you're not alone sometimes :) (At least for me it does) Ill try to keep it shorter than my blog from Africa though lol. So the big T. Wonder what that is? Transition. Spiritual transition. For me this word makes me want to cringe and be excited at the same time. My life has been in this faze for over a year now and it feels as though the emotions of it all are increasing daily. It's a mixture of excitement, wonder, and frustration all at once. Now I know frustration isn't what   god gives us but I've been feeling it. It's like I'm standing at the edge of the cliff wanting to jump, not sure what Im jumping into, but ready and not afraid, yet someone is holding my shirt and saying not yet. There's two things pulling me; knowing that t

First full day

I've learned a few things during this short time here 1. Ugandans do not view time like we do lol. We were supposed to leave for 11 or 12 but didn't get out of here till 2. Ugandans don't really rush about like we do. There's no time schedule just a "round about" time. It's so laid back and there doesn't seem to be much stress at all about sticking to a schedule. It's kinda nice. 2. I want a motorbike. Not like a harley but a bike like the ugandans have. Everyone has them around here. They fit up to three grown men in one bike. I think it would be neat to ride around Thibodaux on one of these. I'd save on gas :) 3. Red dirt stains. My hands are a " I stayed in the tanning bed a little too long" shade of orange. The dirt is a beautiful deep burnt orange. Picture do not do it justice. 4. It's not "as hot as Africa". The weather has been really nice and I am not dying of heat stroke. 5. I don't NEED all the stu
