Those of you who walk in christian circles are sure to of heard of spiritual gifts. You may even be able to rattle off your “top three gifts”and tell me how…… Continue reading Spiritual Needs
The Model of Service
Okay, so Jesus is our ultimate model of service, but I think it’s helpful to have example of what this looks like in as a flawed human being and I think Ugandan women model service to a level I have never seen before.

The students…… Continue reading The Local Community (Kireka) – Part Two

There is always more to know and a better way of doing things! At university it’s been interesting to see how things are progressing. Historically our education system has placed…… Continue reading The Definition of Learning
