you travel to a religiously restricted area. This was my first thought to myself as I traveled up to a religious district of Uganda, North of Arua. I was quite nervous and did not know what to expect, but on the very first day, God granted me peace I needed.
By the second day, I was already pumped and began to see a light in my heart that I need to reach out to these people, or at least empower the youths to reach out to the people. 
After the third day being here, I was very much pumped and expressed my concern to the youths we were training of how important it is to reach out to them. I tell you, my fear was completely gone.
It was honestly a tiring week and today was the final session that I had to teach. It's not easy when you look at how crammed the schedule is and knowing that everyday, you are requested to do two lessons, one-two hours each.
At the end of the teaching, we commissioned the youths to be the light of this dark dark area. It was not only an encouragement to them, but for myself, personally it was a great encouragement.
I would like to encourage you about a comment that a friend of mine made while I reported to him of the things I witnessed. These were his exact words:
"My friend, your calling is much greater than your fear." --Isaac ______. Due to security reasons, I will not give the full name. When he said that to me, boy did my heart jump and once again, it was another reminder from God that I should not fear in these circumstances.
Now that the door is opened partially, it's time to think of how we can push the door so that it is fully open. Only time will tell, only time will tell......
