This evening was an awesome time. We went to a huge park to set up the tent and area outside for the showing of the JESUS film and a small worship time. When we first got there, as we were setting up, we spent some time with the tons of children hanging out. We got to play with them and sing songs and just love on them. But the neatest thing was when I brought out the EvangeCube and shared the Gospel with them. They loved it! It didn't take long for me to be surrounded by a huge crowd of kids. It was so cool when I finished telling the story of Jesus they could take the cube and tell the whole story right back to me! It was so awesome! They were sharing the Gospel themselves!
One of the boys told me his name was Nicholas. He had so much knowledge of Jesus and was very excited to share with me. Nicholas also sat by me during the entire film. The JESUS film was in their local language, Luganda, and if I was unsure about what was happening in the film, Nicholas would translate and make sure I knew what was going on. Whenever Jesus would perform a miracle in the movie, the Ugandans would start clapping and cheering. They are so passionate and joyful. They have such faith and they KNOW that Jesus can do that for them in their life. That is how I want to be. I have learned so many things in just this one week. As I have watched our translators and some of my fellow teammates, I have discovered the kind of believer that I want to be. To have that passion, that vision, and that intimacy God's Word is how I want to live my life.

Angela,
You set such a wonderful example for not just your peers but your elders and the younger generation. What would happen in our own church if everyone young and old caught a glimpse of what you experienced here? Wichita Falls would never be the same.... what an awesome thing that would be!
