Do Something
I know we can get so overwhelmed when we look around and see all the troubles in the world. It seems like the needs are so big and we can’t solve them on our own. I once had someone ask me why are we bothering in Africa because the problems are so great that we can’t possibly solve all of them. There is a song out now by Matthew West called Do something. Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_RjndG0IX8
My favorite line in the song is, “It’s not enough to do nothing. It’s time for us to do something.” If you would be willing to do something for our mission, here are a few things you can do to help make a difference in Uganda:
1.) Prayer: specifically our mission, that we can make an impact on the people of Uganda, that men in Uganda will step up to be leaders and advocates in their villages and take what they learn and teach others, and that we can break through the superficial Christianity and create disciples. (We have a group that has committed to setting an alarm on their phone for 2pm to pray for our mission, so feel free to join them.)
2.) Subscribe to our newsletter: We have a newsletter that goes out every month where we share updates for our mission, prayer requests, etc. Please add your email address by clicking here: www.heartforuganda.com/subscribe-to-newsletter/
3.) Share www.heartforuganda.com on your various social media outlets. The more people we can share our message with, the more people we have supporting our mission in Uganda prayerfully and financially.
4.) Like our Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/heart4uga
5.) Follow us on Twitter here: www.twitter.com/heart4uga
6.) Pray about financially supporting our mission. We are going as independent missionaries so we are raising monthly support to cover our living expenses while we are in Uganda. If you would like to support what we are doing in Uganda, please go to the following site and follow the instructions: www.heartforuganda.com/donate/
We often believe that “someone else will do something”, but the thing is, it takes all of us to make a difference in the world. Matthew West talks about this in one verse of his song:
I’m so tired of talking
About how we are God’s hands and feet
But it’s easier to say than to be
Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves
It’s alright, “somebody else will do something”
Well, I don’t know about you
But I’m sick and tired of life with no desire
I don’t want a flame, I want a fire
I wanna be the one who stands up and says,
“I’m gonna do something”
