Kampala

Most of you have probably heard about the recent bombings in Kampala, Uganda.

  
This picture is from a restaurant called Ethiopian Village.

There were tons of people at this restaurant watching the World Cup when a bomb went off killing many innocent people. Some people were injured but some people miraculously walked away without a scratch. Some of those people were people from Alabama. Read their real life stories af what happened. Catherine's blog and Allen's blog. These blogs literally moved me to tears. God is too incredible for words. The news stories are horrifying and I absolutely CANNOT imagine living through it personally. My cousin Tyler was also in Kampala at the time of the bombings. He was not close to the actual bombings though, thank God. His team has not been there long but they are staying despite the bombings. They are going to change their plans a little bit but they are going to continue to share Jesus with the people of Africa. He is the one they so desperately need and there is no better time than now. Please keep Tyler Werk and his team in your prayers. Pray for their safety and that God uses them in a HUGE God-sized way. God can and will use this event that is of the devil to bring the lost to Him. I cannot wait to hear Tyler's stories of God's greatness when he gets home. Until then, I am trusting God with Tyler's impact on those he comes in contact with and with his safety.

Catherine is one of my good friends, as well as Jonathan, one of the guys with her when the bombs hit. I cannot express how thankful I am that they are all safe. God is so sovereign and only He has the power to protect them the way they were protected that day. Absolutely amazing!
