I am doing so well!! I hope and pray you all are also!
I just wanted to give you an update of all that has been happening in my life
and our adventures here in Uganda. Can you believe I have been in Uganda now
for 10 months?! It’s amazing how time goes so fast and how God does SO much in
a short time... He is so good!
Well, I wanted to share with you what God has for me
in this next season... I feel God is leading me back home for a short period.
My heart is to come back and forth to Uganda and stay a few months at a time. I
have fallen in love with the people here and it will be hard being away from
them for too long. I am planning on coming back home in late August, after our
Crusade. I only have about 4 more months left and I am going to make the most
of them!
I want to say THANK YOU to each one of you who have
invested their time in prayer or their resources to support me. I couldn’t have
done any of this without you! I have continued to feel your love and support while
being here and it has been so encouraging! I am truly so thankful!
For those that are interested, there is an
opportunity for you to help sow financially into the work God has called me to
do. I currently need to raise money for my plane ticket, visa and expenses. If

Once again, I am so grateful for all your love and support!
Together we are changing lives and advancing God’s kingdom! It is exciting
living for him!
I also wanted to share my heart of all that God has
done in me and in these past 10 months but I know many of you are busy. So if
you are interested, you can read more below…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~God
is doing AMAZING things in my life. Here is a bit of the journey God has been
taking me on and how in these past 10 months it has come together. It has been
a process but God is so faithful to complete the work he begins in us!
I feel I have completely transformed into a new person!
I have come alive and the real Brittany has been awakened! It is amazing how
you can know things in your head but not really know them in your heart. God
has been writing his truths upon my heart and suddenly it all “clicked”… I found my identity in God.
I had a love encounter that transformed my way of thinking
and I finally discovered and understood who I am in Christ-that I am His
daughter and He loves me know matter what I do or don’t do. He can never love
me more or any less, his nature is to love me outrageously all the time! I’ve
learned that it is out of relationship with Him and not out of performance.
My identity was based on what I did, or what God did
through me. I have seen God do amazing signs and wonders through me and that’s
how I knew God- when I preform he loves me and when I don’t then he doesn’t
love me. I knew all of that wasn’t true in my head but when the truth was
written on my heart it totally transformed me. I am now so secure in his love, that
I don’t care about what people think about me-only what He thinks of me. I am
now confident in who God is in me. When you encounter His love it changes you
forever!
This all may seem pretty basic for many and crazy to
think that this is where I was at. Especially all those that know I have been
walking with God since I was little but I’m a testimony of how God can use you
powerfully no matter what you know! haha
The way I encountered God was opposite to the way
many know him. Some have yet to even experience him the way that I have. I knew God out of experiences, miracles,
signs, wonders and his presence but I didn’t have a strong foundation or fully
understand what the finished work on the cross really meant.
I came from being young and doing ministry fulltime-operating
out of gifting and trusting God to show up and move. He always did powerfully! Even
so, I didn’t fully have a revelation of what He did on the cross for me and
what his grace was. I would read the bible and have it in my head but never
really understood that it was more than just nice stories that happened a long
time ago. So the Lord began to give me a hunger for the word and understanding
and revelation of the cross and the pure gospel. It has changed my life!
This whole experience has definitely been a journey
and I have discovered so much while being here- having the time to set myself
apart and learn and grow with him. I have learned that producing fruit doesn’t
happen overnight, it really does take time and abiding in Him. My whole journey
with God has been a process but I finally feel and see the work that God started
a long ago. developing in my life and it is so exciting!
God is truly shaping me into the fullness of what I
am created to be. I am being stretched and challenged but ultimately I am
growing as a daughter, a leader and a well-rounded person. . In this pursuit
I've discovered more of myself and God then I could ever imagine. Living life
with Jesus is so rewarding and exciting!
