Merry Christmas from Team Tam
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas from Uganda. 🙂 As for Wai Jia and I, we are getting good and soundful rest at home. Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and […]
God the Restorer – Jeremiah 32
I am currently taking a course, Know Your Bible. One of the assignments is to write a five page paper on two of the Major Prophets. After writing so many papers from University, you would think I can handle a five page essay easy peasy. It wasn’t. I chose Isaiah and Jeremiah because I desired to know more […]
Soda Money
Since we are serving in Uganda for one year, we decided not to hop in and out of the country just to extend our visas. Instead, we decided to go with an agency to help obtain a work visa for Wai Jia and a dependent pass for me. Doing things the right way is sometimes […]
Every Wednesday…
Every Wednesday, the church has a sewing and beading class to help the ladies to strengthen their social-econoimcal situation.

Worship in Spirit and truth
A few people asked us why Uganda given that Uganda is Christianized. Since the 1800s, Christian missionaries have been to Uganda to share the gospel. If you asked most of the locals their religion, they will call themselves Christians. So why we are here if most of Uganda is already reached? On our recce trip to […]

Wai Jia and I brought a number of books to Uganda. One of them is Most Important Year in a Woman’s Life, The/The Most Important Year in a Man’s Life by Robert and Bobbie Wolgemuth. The whole premise of this book is to emphasize the first year of marriage as the most important investment for the […]
Writing to your MP (Member of Parliament)
Bible Society published an article on how you can help the Christians getting persecuted in Iraq. One of the ways to help is to write to your MP (Member of Parliament). I never written to my MP before. Sometimes I get stuck with the idea that writing one letter will not make a difference in […]
