Be ready to share your faith story. You never know when you will have a chance to tell how wonderful God is and how we can connect in a real, life-changing way. Yesterday, I was sitting in a fast food restaurant drinking a soda and looking at my pictures from Uganda. A guy I know came by. He was interested in seeing my Africa pictures (like the one above), so I showed him and told him about my mission. After talking for a bit, he basically asked "How did you get involved in all this Christian stuff" actually wanting to know. Your faith story is not hard to tell because you know it, and it is something people can often connect to. I normally don't try to tell people things they don't want to hear, or aren't interested in, but I think it is good to be ready and willing to tell about our wonderful God when people want to know.
I am a Christian from America who is serving in the area of Health. I am in Masindi, Uganda as a long-term missionary with The South American Missionary Society. I am with the Church of Uganda to improve basic health. I teach on nutrition, clean water, sanitation, and malaria prevention and assist people to access medical care. Want to help?
