I say your little Uganda clock on the side of your blog and it says its about 7am there. I'm in Murray, KY (about 2 hours north of Nashville) sitting in my dorm room and started reading your blog from the first post about four hours ago. I don't know that you'll even get a chance to read this comment today or even within the next week but I just wanted you to know that you have a new follower and someone else praying for you, your girls, and your mission.<br />CourtneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-27710361140908342392011-01-20T07:27:10.974-08:002011-01-20T07:27:10.974-08:00I started reading the blog at the beginning, it ha...I started reading the blog at the beginning, it has been great to hear the ongoing testimony of God's gracious work.<br /><br />This post presenting the view from a visitor perspective provides touching insight into the ministry.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11085799430452145113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-30260113259374630142011-01-19T10:44:06.605-08:002011-01-19T10:44:06.605-08:00haha... staklers. love it. it is true. i am two...haha... staklers. love it. it is true. i am two days into this blog, and I can join the ranks.<br /><br />but who wouldn't want to stalk a living testament! <br /><br />thanks. this is important. i know you recognize that, but seriously. even more important than you could know.<br /><br />shalom, dear katie.BrittneyNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034649643965905093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-37527065356107497212009-08-14T04:52:39.596-07:002009-08-14T04:52:39.596-07:00Through tears I write.

Over the last couple of days I've spent hours reading it. My husband and I have a huge heart for missions and the nations. We will be praying for you - I'm not sure I've stopped praying for you since I came across your blog. I've been all around the world, but have never been to Africa - though I feel like I've been there because we have several friends who are missionaries there. I'm a Christian artist and have painted many paintings from Africa - you can see them on my blog www.paintingtheword.com (there's a page at the top that says missions). You have blessed me sister and we will be praying about how we can help/join you in your journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-53664605990840966222009-08-06T06:15:38.840-07:002009-08-06T06:15:38.840-07:00Katie,
We came and saw you while you were in town...Katie,<br /><br />We came and saw you while you were in town. My wife and I enjoyed listening to the challenges you face and I'd like to say something that may sound different, but what amazed us (we are all 30's to 50s+ in age) is that, you're just a kid. <br /><br />The beautiful thing about that is that it is evidence of what God is doing in your life. God has a habit of taking unlikely people and doing extraordinary things with them. <br /><br />We all wanted to get our pictures taken with you because many in our Small Group at church read your blog.<br /><br />Even last night in our group, they were talking about your latest entry and how much we are inspired to be more for Christ. There is a realization that we don't have to be twiced educated pastors to serve Christ. We just have to be available. <br /><br />God is teaching us so much this year and your decision to make yourself available to Christ has challenged many people to be more for Him.<br /><br />I pray God blesses you richly for your sacrifices.Dave and Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00195314554306660237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-82483436449051048642009-08-05T20:15:47.191-07:002009-08-05T20:15:47.191-07:00oh my soul...

You have a good heart, and it's so good to know you are doing what you are doing and the difference you are making . because I felt so drawn to you and your kids I started giving last month to your cause, I felt God leading me to do this.

If not, could you point me in a direction where I could be of some service. I want to come and help and I'm pretty sure I have the funding to do so. I looked at a trip that is going to be coming your way at the end of December, but I want to come sooner and I'm thinking I'm going to want to stay longer than 12 days. I know you've got a ton of children to take care of, so just when you get a chance could you get back to me.
