How do you go from broken to empowering others? In this episode, you will hear how the most vulnerable in Uganda are finding purpose.

SHOW NOTES

So Good Moments: 

  • How a church in Uganda is rescuing children, raising up leaders, and rebuilding a nation.
  • How the local church helped Pastor Vernita Rwotlonyo find community and discover her purpose. 
  • Why reaching one woman for Christ can change an entire region. 
  • Why many girls in Uganda drop out of school upon puberty.
  • What Pastor Vernita would share if she could meet her younger self for coffee…and more! 

Discussion Questions: 

  1. What stood out to you about this episode? 
  2. Vernita mentioned how much the local church impacted her life. What has been the biggest impact for you? 
  3. What inspires you most about the work Watoto does? 
  4. On hearing the stories of the most vulnerable women and children in Uganda, how does it shift your perspective on the challenges you face? 
  5. In what ways has God called you to be His hands and feet to vulnerable people? (Or what burdens has God put on your heart that you need to put into action?)
