a year on...

I've been watching lord of the rings recently, and something about the last movie stuck with me. at the end, frodo finishes writing about his story, and he says something to the effect that, once you've experienced something, you can't go back, but it stays with you even after it's gone. I've been feeling that. This summer, for those who don't know, and for those who still read this, which i'm doubting is very many, seeing as how i've not posted in over a year, i went to Hong Kong. It was a good experience and it reminded me, overwhelmingly at times, of Uganda.

It has stuck with me. I'm missing the red dirt and the smiling faces of Eastern Africa. There is something about the people, the place, that just calls to my heart. ever since i've come back stateside, i've been restless, and it's because i know that there's a whole world out there, waiting to be ministered to, waiting to hear the Gospel.

Where are we, the Church, what are we doing to bring this about. Are we sitting comfortably on our hindquarters, not being the hands and feet, are we ministering here? where and what are we doing? For those of you in Uganda, I love and miss you, and i just want to challenge everyone to get out there and minister, here... there or anywhere. praise God and love people with your lives!
