It was just 1 year ago today that I left my home country. I can't believe that I've been officially independent and all by myself for one full year. Or was I independent all along? It definitely feels like it because my family and friends are not around. Recently I've been reminded more and more that though I am living alone, God is always there. Wherever I go and wherever He takes me, He will always be there. I need to be constantly reminded day-by-day that He is there with me, to support me and walking alongside me. Really, I'm by myself but I'm not really independent, but instead everyday I'm dependent on my Lord Jesus Christ. Without Him, I cannot do anything!
A verse that encourages me a lot when I do feel isolated and alone comes straight from the time when Jesus was on the cross.
Mark 15:34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Many times, whether I am at home by myself, or out on the field training young leaders and not seeing the fruits, I've felt like God is not there.
Just a reminder to myself: Jesus said it so that I do not have to say it.

The population and the Church in Africa is growing rapidly. Out of the one billion people in Africa, many of them are youth. While many of the youth have been exposed to the Gospel, there is a great need in providing spiritual nourishment to them. It is my responsibility to develop Christ-centered youths among the Christ-centered churches in Uganda through discipleship.
