In The Unlikely Missionary: From Pew-Warmer to Poverty-Fighter you hear the story about how I found passion and purpose for my faith as I studied the issue of extreme poverty. Then you follow my journey as I discover the impact of microenterprise through sharing the stories of an organization called Five Talents, even [...]

What is the core of leadership? Honestly, this is a question that I haven’t considered very much before even though I regularly write on leadership principles. But I believe that how you answer that question will define what kind of leader you are. I’ve been reading a new book lately by Nancy [...]
Five Talents has been featured as charity of the month on BBC One’s Lifeline program. See the 10-minute broadcast right here… Lifeline is the BBC’s monthly television charity appeal program. In May, Five Talents was the selected charity. For more than 20 years, Lifeline has helped raise money for and [...]

Waking up this morning I couldn’t wait to get home! While I tried to enjoy my last few hours with the team, my mind was already wandering home. At breakfast we all talked about how wonderful this experience was, while I (as the team chaplain) challenged them to not let it [...]

Mission accomplished. Our work is done, and we now begin our journeys home. First the long drive across Uganda from Kasese to Kampala. Then after our last night our team flies together from Kampala to Nairobi to London where we part ways and I board my flight from London to [...]

Our last day of teaching ended up being one of the hardest days for me on this trip for several reasons. Some of it was related to the obvious realization that our time was nearly up on this incredible journey. While I was anxious to get home to my family, [...]
![[the africa diaries] day twelve: teaching in uganda](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/themes/sportpress/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/african-community-meeting-100x100.jpg&w=160&h=120&zc=1&a=c)
You’ve probably never heard of Rwesande. In fact, you won’t even find it on a Google Map. It’s in the area of Kasese up in the Rwenzori Mountains. Based on the roads that we took to get out there, I’m not surprised that I can’t find this place on a Google [...]
![[the africa diaries] day eleven: a walk in the clouds](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/themes/sportpress/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/dan-with-kids-rwenzori-mountains-100x100.jpg&w=160&h=120&zc=1&a=c)
Her story rocked me, and still hits me hard today. But more than her story, it was her attitude and resilience that stood out most. Getting out to meet the clients is exciting because we get to meet them where they work. This part of the trip in Kenya was [...]
![[the africa diaries] day ten: the road to kasese](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/themes/sportpress/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/road-to-kasese-100x100.jpg&w=160&h=120&zc=1&a=c)
It was a beautiful morning waking up in Kampala! Wow… It feels weird saying that even now. It was (and still is) hard to believe that I was there. The day was fresh, and I was anticipating some cool experiences as we made a few stops and hit the road for our [...]
![[the africa diaries] day nine: headed to kampala](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/themes/sportpress/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/sunrise-over-kampala-100x100.jpg&w=160&h=120&zc=1&a=c)
Leaving Kenya and flying to Uganda was the biggest thing on our agenda for this day. I have to admit that it was tough leaving my new friends in Kenya. Because of the great distance, I knew that it wasn’t likely that I’d see most (if any) of them again. Yet, their impact on [...]

She walked up to me as I was setting up for my morning session, shook my hand, and simply stated, “I am Alice.” We laughed about that for a moment, but I never realized that this was about to be one of the most powerful moments of this trip for [...]
