Post-Uganda! (1/2)

Guest Post: Tiffany Leung

Hello all thank you for your patience :) 

Where to begin....

Psalm 145 v. 3-7

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.
One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.
They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds.
They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

There has been a chain of events and great timing that has led up to this trip that I am in awe by. Tracy and I are so grateful of the amount of prayer and financial support that came to us. It has been surreal coming back and reflecting upon the events that took place in Uganda. Who would of thought that I would have the opportunity to drink tea and have breakfast with Ugandans in a  village, be involved with over 400 students at a conference, help build a house for a widower and her family, laying the foundation for a school, helping with a VBS which consisted of over 300 children! 

I am most thankful and praise God for are the hearts of the people who have the burning desire and unquenchable thirst in wanting to know who God is and what the Bible is all about. It is a huge encouragement for me to see how joyful and hospitable people are without having much to give. It has been AMAZING to see the relationships being formed and how God is using the Hurleys (missionary family) in mighty ways to further His Kingdom. 

What I took away the most were redemptive stories of people and their faith and stories about faithful service from the Hurleys. A story that has encouraged me is the attitude of a 24 year old woman who recently loss her baby 2 months ago, her husband 2 years ago and does not have any contact with her Muslim family. After hearing all that she has been through she replies by affirming that God is in control over all thing, even though it has been difficult. 

Please continue to pray for the people of Uganda and perseverance for the Hurleys. The vision that they are working towards is to provide education, community outreach, and to strengthen the church leaders. It is so evident how this family loves God with all their hearts, souls, and minds in order for it to overflow towards the Ugandans!

Love,

Tiffany
