Uniquely Woven

Yesterday the headlines in the newspaper said that Uganda was ranked 141 out of 179 of the best countries to give birth or be a mother. Think about that for a second. America is ranked 33. Norway, first.
What does this mean to me and why would I even share this?
Well, because there are some beautiful people here in Uganda supported by some beautiful people in America who are willing to be moved from awareness to action. They have welcomed our family with open hearts and arms to come alongside and support their efforts to lead people to the ONE who changes hearts and minds back to Hope and love, JESUS Christ.
Yesterday we got to witness miracles.
Over 100 pregnant ladies receiving bibles, food, prayer. 
All of us standing together- beside each other- to hear the word preached by Holy Ghost filled people. There were salvations and baby dedications and hands lifted in praise and hearts reconciled to God.  And it wasn't about a ministry name or place. It was His people from many different languages, cultures, places, congregations, backgrounds, ministries, talents, giftings all uniquely woven together.

Sometimes I see so many pointing fingers online at others- 
But sometimes I see so many pointing fingers in the air, giving glory to God. 
These are the Superheroes of faith that God continues to bring into my life.
Some of  them have names like Natalie, Isabelle, Peter, Emma, Edith, Eva, Barbara, Kelly, Jalina, Joy, Malia, Leighton, Emily, Amy, Maggie and over one hundred others.
But, if you ask any one of them, they care more about making the name JESUS known more than themselves. 
And that is something I am blessed to be a part of.
