Apollo Kaggwa is my logistics coordinator and is on staff at African Renewal. I asked him to express in two minutes if he thought it was important for us to invest in Uganda by coming and serving instead of simply sending resources.

"It's not about the cost, it's about the commission." -Apollo
Wow! This has totally challenged me! It's not about the cost, whether monetary, time, convenience or physical toll, but it's about Christ's commission to Christians to go into the world to make disciples and trusting Him to use us. But in order to be used, we have to step out, leveraging ourselves and perhaps risking something.
So cool!
Thanks!
