The distance between West Monroe, Louisiana and Guatemala may be measured in miles, but for Abby Wood and her teenage son Gavin, that gap closed into something far more meaningful during their recent mission trip. What began fifteen years ago with a simple $43 monthly commitment to sponsor a child has blossomed into relationships that transcend borders, languages, and cultural differences.When the Woods first connected with Compassion International, they simply wanted to sponsor a child sharing their newborn son's birthday. That initial connection with a Ugandan boy named Xavier has lasted nearly two decades. More recently, they added Guatemalan Ellie to their sponsorship family after their church helped establish a Compassion center in her community.The true magic happened when Abby and Gavin stepped off the bus in Guatemala to an unexpected welcome—community members with phones and even a drone capturing their arrival, children holding welcome banners, and celebratory fireworks lighting their path. The abstract concept of sponsorship suddenly had faces, personalities, and embraces attached to it.Walking into Ellie's home where eight family members live together revealed details no letter could convey. Her father leaves at 4 AM six days a week for a 12-hour factory workday. Her mother rises at 3 AM to prepare his meals. Despite modest surroundings, they proudly displayed their collection of letters from the Woods, kept securely in a locked drawer like precious jewels.Most touching was discovering Ellie's true personality—not the shy girl from photographs, but a playful, competitive spirit who couldn't wait to play games with her American friends. These moments of connection transcended language barriers (requiring both Spanish and Mayan Kekchi translators) and revealed the human bonds at the heart of global ministry.The impact wasn't one-sided. At another home visit, a skeptical father finally approached after observing from a distance. "I just really didn't know this was real," he admitted. "Today I know there's really someone out there who cares about us." His words captured why showing up matters as much as financial support.Ready to make a difference that ripples through generations?

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with the Ugandan-born, UK-raised runner Deo Kato—a man who, doing what had never been done, ran from Cape Town to London to raise awareness of social injustices and human migration. It all started in 2020, when he first connected running with activism. For 381 days in a row, he ran a 10k, to honor the Montgomery Bus Boycott and its duration. During our conversation, he considers the ways his childhood in Uganda developed his deep appreciation for community, a sustaining value throughout the ups and downs, trials and tribulations, he has faced. His running has, in profound ways, reflected that, taking place in all terrains and weathers. He once ran through Egypt when the temperature approached 125 degrees Fahrenheit. He talks about his biggest setback—being imprisoned for three weeks in South Sudan for so-called improper paperwork. The support he received from his fellow prisoners gave him a new motivation to continue when he was considering quitting. We end with his final, solo journey into London from Greece, arriving at 10 Downing Street—home to the UK prime minister—where he took a knee with hundreds of supporters behind him.

Stephanie talks about the through line that many of the women she profiled share, how the big things that happened in world while she was working on the book--COVID, her own cancer diagnosis, the #metoo movement, Trumpism--impacted her work and the question for artists that lies at the heart of the book; Is it worth it?

I'm Mwesige Joram, an Ugandan libertarian and passionate advocate for free-market principles. I hold a bachelor's degree in Management and draw inspiration from my lived experience under an authoritarian regime—an experience that fuels my commitment to advancing liberty and individual freedom. I currently work with Action for Liberty and Economic Development (ALED), a think tank dedicated to promoting the values of limited government, individual rights, the rule of law, free-market capitalism, and objectivism in Uganda and across Africa. Through my work at ALED, I have contributed to building a dynamic platform that empowers young people and organizations to champion economic freedom and human liberty in countries such as Uganda, Burundi, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our efforts have helped inspire the formation of several like-minded organizations, including Mtindo Network, Africa Justice Media, and Action for Development Initiatives, all of which are advancing the cause of liberty and prosperity across the continent. https://aledafrica.org

Emmanouil Karalis was born to a Greek father and a Ugandan mother, and experienced racism growing up in Athens. He was told ‘black people don't pole vault' and seriously considered quitting the sport in which he was already proving to be world class. He explains what it was like being a young person of mixed heritage in Greece during a time when the far right ‘Golden Dawn' party was enjoying it's greatest period of influence.It wasn't ‘sunshine and rainbows' he tells us during a ‘horrible' time for non-white Greeks. When he reached the age of 18, he decided it was time to speak out about the racism and about his mental health. He says opening that door and taking that first step has helped those athletes who have come after him.Emmanouil - known more familiarly as Manolo – has been winning global and continental medals since the age of 15. He's had success all the way up through the age-groups and first competed against Mondo Duplantis when both were still just boys. Their rivalry and their friendship has continued to grow. Manolo explains why the Olympic Games is extra special for Greek athletes – because the country was the birth place of the Ancient Olympics. He shares his memories of being taken to watch the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens when he was just four years of age. It was later, watching the London 2012 Olympics on television, that he knew he wanted to be a part of it.Coached by his father, who was a former decathlete, Manolo takes us back to the moment he beat his Dad's personal best for the pole vault – a story you have to hear.We also discuss Mondo Duplantis and how the world record holder makes Manolo a better pole vaulter. The Greek athlete is, at the time of recording this podcast, the fourth highest vaulter in history, with a best clearance of six metres and eight centimetres. Spending some time in his company it becomes very clear that won't remain his personal best for very long.Image: Emmanouil Karalis of Team Greece reacts during the Men's Pole Vault Final on day ten of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Stade de France on August 05, 2024 in Paris, France.

It's Wednesday, July 30th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Ugandan Muslims kill relative convert to Christianity Muslims in Uganda killed a relative of theirs earlier this month after he had converted to Christianity.  Kasajja Abdul Maliki accepted Christ in April. The pastor who shared the Gospel with him told Morning Star News, “I took him to my house and discipled him in Christian teachings for a week, and thereafter he returned back to his home.”  Since then, Maliki stopped attending prayers at the mosque. He would study the Bible and pray in his home instead. His relatives broke into his house on July 18. They found him praying for their salvation. Some of them became so angry, they began beating him and even stabbed him. Neighbors tried to save Maliki, but he died on the way to a nearby clinic. Revelation 12:11 says, “They overcame [the Devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Argentinian president recognizes non-Catholic religious groups Evangelical Focus reports that Argentina now recognizes Evangelical churches. President Javier Milei signed a measure to officially recognize non-Catholic religious groups as “religious legal entities.” Most people in Argentina still identify as Catholic, but the number of Evangelicals has grown in recent years. The Christian Alliance of Evangelical Churches of the Republic of Argentina commented on the new measure. It said, “This was achieved thanks to the efforts, prayers, and perseverance of Christians who have worked with respect, patience, and faith to see this progress for over 30 years.” Florida has greatest religious liberty; West Virginia the worst In the United States, First Liberty Institute released their 2025 Religious Liberty in the States report. The report evaluates states based on 47 religious liberty safeguards. The top state this year was Florida with a score of 74.6%. The worst state was West Virginia with a score of 19.6%. Most states fell in the 25%-50% range.  Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis enthusiastically affirmed religious liberty. DeSANTIS: “Today, Florida has earned the number one ranking amongst all 50 states for protecting religious liberty. If you go back to the founding of our country, religious liberty was basically the first freedom that the Founding Fathers sought to protect. “Religious freedom was part of the reason people even settled in the American colonies to begin with. This is something that is central to the American experiment and central to our way of life. But it is something that has really been under assault in recent years.” U.S. federal employees allowed to talk about Christian faith Federal employees can now talk about their faith at work. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management sent out a memo on Monday about protecting religious expression in the federal workplace. Workers are allowed to display Bibles and crosses, talk to other employees about their faith, and form prayer groups.  The memo states, “The Federal workforce should be a welcoming place for Federal employees who practice a religious faith. Allowing religious discrimination in the Federal workplace violates the law. It also threatens to adversely impact recruitment and retention of highly-qualified employees of faith.” Planned Parenthood closes 33 abortion mills nationally Life News reports that Planned Parenthood has closed 33 abortion mills so far this year. This includes one of its locations in the Houston area of Texas which was known as the largest abortion mill in the Western Hemisphere.  Shawn Carney with 40 Days for Life said, “The defunding of Planned Parenthood and the closure of abortion centers from coast to coast means that July 2025 will go down as the WORST month in Planned Parenthood's history… for now!  Toppling this abortion Goliath proves that, with God, all things truly are possible.” Trust in church increases And finally, people are putting more trust in the church, according to a survey from Gallup. Thirty-six percent of U.S. adults have significant confidence in the church. That's up from 31% in 2022. However, it's down from 66% in 1973 when Gallup first started tracking the percentage. The last year that a majority of Americans had confidence in the church was 2009. Currently, the only institutions that a majority of Americans trust are small business, the military, and science.  Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, July 30th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Uganda finally has its first fully operational comedy club — the Laughing Maraboustork — and today, we sit down with the man behind it: Timothy J. Nyanzi. In this exclusive episode, Timothy shares the vision and struggles behind opening Uganda's first comedy club, what it was like working with comedy icon Anne Kansiime, and how he's mentored some of the country's top comedians. From his early days with the Punchliners to touring Kenya and South Africa, to writing for TV, animation, and AMVCA-nominated shows, Timothy is a true multi-hyphenate shaping Uganda's creative future. We also talk about the current state of the Ugandan comedy industry and how it compares to other African countries like Kenya, South Africa, and Nigeria.

It's Tuesday, July 29th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Ugandan Muslim terrorists massacre 40 Catholics with machetes Members of the Islamic Allied Democratic Forces, based in Western Uganda, struck the Congo town of Komanda on Sunday, killing almost 40 Catholic worshipers with machetes. This follows a similar massacre of 70 Protestant Christians in February in the city of Mayba, Congo.  522,000 Sudanese babies died of malnutrition Famine is on the rise across the world today, according to the World Food Program.  A total of 600,000 Sudanese face catastrophic hunger, and 8 million face emergency levels of hunger. The problem is four times worse in Sudan than it was last year. Since the outbreak of the Sudanese civil war in 2023, over 522,000 babies have died of malnutrition, as well as thousands of older children. That's according to the Committee of Sudanese Doctors.  This represents a sharp increase of deaths by famine — a metric that has averaged around 100,000 per year since the 1970s. Other nations facing emergency levels of hunger include Myanmar, South Sudan, Mali, and Haiti.   127 people starved to death in Gaza The World Food Program revealed about half a million people face catastrophic hunger in Gaza. Specifically, the AP reports that 127 people have starved to death in Gaza this year. From Psalm 146:5-9, we read, “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, Who made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.” Cambodian/Thai ceasefire It all started when Cambodian tourists visiting Thailand began singing the Cambodian national anthem back in February. Then, on May 28th of this year, Cambodian and Thai soldiers took a few pot shots at each other across the border.   One Cambodian soldier died. Tensions increased over the next month. During early July, several Thai soldiers were severely injured when stepping on Cambodian-placed landmines at the border.  That's what it took to ignite all-out war between the two countries, beginning on July 24th. At least 33 citizens and soldiers were killed in the conflict. This conflict, which became deadly, illustrates the biblical principle from 1 Corinthians 3:3. It says, “For you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?” Thankfully, as of yesterday, the two nations have reached an agreement to an "immediate and unconditional ceasefire,” reports The Khmer Times. Japan's conservative political party rising in stature An anti-immigrant, anti-foreigner party called Sanseito has gained ascendance in Japan for the first time since World War II — moving from 1 to 15 seats in the nation's governing body. Other conservative type parties gained another 15 seats in the 248 seat upper house, for a total of a 12% gain. Trump to Russia: 12 days to reach ceasefire President Donald Trump is upping the ante with Russia. He gave Russian President Valdimir Putin 12 days to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine, or he will impose 100% tariffs on countries which purchase Russian exports. That would include China, India, Turkey, Brazil, South Korea, and Taiwan. Democrats viewed extremely unfavorably The Democrats are now viewed extremely unfavorably here in America by the public.  A new Wall Street Journal poll revealed that 63% of voters look upon the party unfavorably. Only 33% view it favorably.  The American public appreciates the Republican views over the Democratic views on issues like immigration, inflation, and foreign policy. Americans are also most upset with the Trump administration over tariffs, healthcare, and the Ukraine war. 63% of Americans want abortion legal in most cases The latest Associated Press/National Opinion Research Center polling indicates that 63% of Americans want abortion legal in most cases, and 52% support abortion for any reason whatsoever. Hulk Hogan rededicated faith in Christ at baptism 18 months before death And finally, a pastor with Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Florida has publicly announced baptizing Hulk Hogan, whose given name was Terry Bollea, prior to the pro-wrestler's recent passing.  According to the New York Post, Hogan was baptized 18 months before his death on July 24, 2025. Hogan was asked about it on the Christian Broadcasting Network. REPORTER: “Public baptism. You have said: the greatest moment of your life.” HOGAN: “Yes, without a doubt.” REPORTER: “Terry, what did that mean for you?” HOGAN: “It broke down that fourth or fifth wall to tell people the truth about my Lord and Savior, and it set me free. I wasn't that perfect vessel that I should have been. Once I was baptized, I felt I was all new. It really was a major pivot in my life.” In December 2023, Hogan wrote that his baptism marked “Total surrender and dedication to Jesus.” Pastor Aaron Filippone included an extended eulogy for Hogan on an X post over the weekend. The pastor noted that Hogan had worshiped faithfully with his wife at the church over the past two years.. He said, “He didn't just talk about his faith—he lived it. He walked in grace, and he made sure everyone around him knew that grace was available for them too.” The pastor added: “Jesus offers hope, forgiveness, and eternal life to anyone who believes. We invite you to visit a local, Bible-believing church—just like Terry did.”   Hogan, referencing his actual first name of “Terry” in this portion of the CBN interview, talked about his desire to live a faithful life as a Christian. HOGAN:  “What Terry brings to the table is a meat suit, a meat suit, filled with the Spirit of Christ, and it's a testing ground for me. I accepted Christ as my Savior. I was 14, but I derailed. It wasn't my life. He has given me the opportunity to prove that I'm faithful and I'll never make those same mistakes again.” Indeed, Hogan had led a rocky life, marked by two unhappy divorces.   Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, July 29th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

In schools with limited resources, large class sizes, and wide differences in student ability, individualized learning has become a necessity. Artificial intelligence offers powerful tools to help meet those needs, especially in underserved communities. But the way we introduce those tools matters.This week, Matt Kirchner talks with Sam Whitaker, Director of Social Impact at StudyFetch, about how AI can support literacy, comprehension, and real learning outcomes when used with purpose. Sam shares his experience bringing AI education to a rural school in Uganda, where nearly every student had already used AI without formal guidance. The results of a two-hour project surprised everyone and revealed just how much potential exists when students are given the right tools.The conversation covers AI as a literacy tool, how to design platforms that encourage learning rather than shortcutting, and why student-facing AI should preserve creativity, curiosity, and joy. Sam also explains how responsible use of AI can reduce educational inequality rather than reinforce it.This is a hopeful, practical look at how education can evolve—if we build with intention.Listen to learn:Surprising lessons from working with students at a rural Ugandan school using artificial intelligenceWhat different MIT studies suggest about the impacts of AI use on memory and productivityHow AI can help U.S. literacy rates, and what far-reaching implications that will haveWhat China's AI education policy for six-year-olds might signal about the global race for responsible, guided AI use3 Big Takeaways:1. Responsible AI use must be taught early to prevent misuse and promote real learning. Sam compares AI to handing over a car without driver's ed—powerful but dangerous without structure. When AI is used to do the thinking for students, it stifles creativity and long-term retention instead of developing it.2. AI can help close educational gaps in schools that lack the resources for individualized learning. In many underserved districts, large class sizes make one-on-one instruction nearly impossible. AI tools can adapt to students' needs in real time, offering personalized learning that would otherwise be out of reach.3. AI can play a key role in addressing the U.S. literacy crisis. Sam points out that 70% of U.S. inmates read at a fourth-grade level or below, and 85% of juvenile offenders can't read. Adaptive AI tools are now being developed to assess, support, and gradually improve literacy for students who have been left behind.Resources in this Episode:To learn about StudyFetch, visit: www.studyfetch.comOther resources:MIT Study "Experimental Evidence on the Productivity Effects of General Artificial Intelligence"MIT Study "Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task"Learn more about the Ugandan schools mentioned: African Rural University (ARU) and Uganda Rural Development anWe want to hear from you!

In this exclusive interview, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander reveals how he became the kingmaker behind Zohran Mamdani's shocking primary victory over Andrew Cuomo. While mainstream media missed the story, we dive deep into the political strategy that helped Mamdani defeat establishment candidates in the race for NYC mayor.Zohran Mamdani's upset victory on his way to possibly becoming the next New York City mayor may have come as a surprise to everyone except Brad Lander. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman, and Lander, the city's comptroller, cross-endorsed each other in NYC's ranked-choice primary voting system for the Democratic mayoral nominee. Mamdani and Lander found common ground in their progressive values and their mutual commitment to defeating the status quo in disgraced former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, a billionaire-backed “Democrat” with multiple workplace s*xual harassment allegations in his rearview mirror. With Mamdani on his way to defeating scandal-plagued NYC Mayor Eric Adams and becoming the city's first Muslim and South Asian and Ugandan mayor, Lander is contemplating his next move.This week, Katelyn and Christine spoke at length with Lander about how he helped Mamdani overcome the Cuomo machine, his controversial ICE arrest and how it changed the primary race, and the political and media discourse over antisemitism after Mamdani's win.

Part A of a two-sided mix from two Nyege Nyege all-stars. Nyege Nyege is synonymous with radical sonic innovation. Since 2015, the boundary-pushing Ugandan festival and its associated label have become a vital hub for adventurous, experimental sounds emerging from East Africa and beyond. Its alumni roster includes some of the past decade's most thrilling and forward-thinking artists—DJ Travella, Nihiloxica, MC Yallah, and even New York's newly-elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani. In the process, the collective has reimagined what club music can be. Kampala-based Kampire has been a core member of the collective since the label's inception. Her mixes often feel like a lesson in musicology: weaving together narratives, tempos and genres while losing nothing in dance floor vitality. These talents are reflected in her contribution to RA.995. A typically kaleidoscopic blend of tough percussive workouts, infectious edits and raw, unreleased gems, the hour-long mix spans batida, singeli, bruxaria and countless more urgent sounds from the global underground. Then there's the enigmatic DJ TOBZY. At the tender age of 23, he's at the forefront of the effervescent cruise scene in his adopted hometown of Lagos. Breakneck, unpolished and fiercely DIY, it's a sound Giulio Pecci described as "a delirious blur of vocals and drums, influenced by other African dance music styles but moving only to its own strange, internal logic." TOBZY's mix captures the frenetic energy of a scene evolving in real time. Presented together, as the first edition of a new format marking the countdown to RA.1000, this mix offers a bracing snapshot of a label that has redefined electronic music over the last decade.

It took a day to properly process the shock and do the necessary research, but our amazing host, Mike Slater, is officially ready to talk about Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani's shocking victory in the New York City Democratic Mayoral Primary and how the USA's largest population center is THIS close to basically having a full-blown Ugandan communist running the show. It's becoming a total circus and ALL Americans need to know about it.Following the opener, Slater talks to U.S. Congressman Jimmy Patronis (R-FL-01) about his recently introduced legislation to expose the true nature of the coverups of former President Joe Biden's cognitive decline while in office!

* This episode contains mature content. This week, we get to hear from Becky Murray, the founder and CEO of One By One, an organization committed to ending exploitation and bringing freedom to vulnerable children around the world. Becky’s journey began with a simple desire to fight injustice—a passion that eventually led her from her dreams of a law career to the front lines of global humanitarian work. Becky shares how a pair of pink flip-flops sparked a lifelong mission and why she believes that even small acts of kindness can change the world—one life at a time. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Andrea Kazindra, co-founder and co-CEO of Musana, a Ugandan-led organization transforming communities through schools, hospitals, and businesses. What began as a college internship turned into a lifelong commitment to creating sustainable, locally-driven change. Nearly two decades later, Andrea continues to lead with humility, vision, and a deep belief in the power of community.

It sometimes feels like when I look out at the ocean of need before us, it feels like I’ve got a teaspoon in my hand, and I’m attempting to empty an ocean. God doesn’t ask us to go and feed the 5,000, but what is in our hands that we can make an impact with today.” - Becky Murray “If we would just have eyes to see the needs of the ones that God brings across our path day in and day out, and if we just constantly have this heart of, Who today can I reach, who’s my neighbor today? Every day, we can see a big impact in and through our lives.” - Becky Murray “We’ve got incredible staff around the world that are running our centers. I see the kids who were supposed to not make it even past elementary education because they were so ill. And yet, after encountering the love of Christ and being given the help and the medical care that they needed, they’re now graduating around the world. To see the difference that God has made in their lives is what helps keep us motivated to keep reaching that next one.” - Becky Murray “Live with our hands open, saying, ‘Okay, God, I’m not perfect and maybe I’m still needing healing in certain parts of my own life, but despite all that, you can still flow through me if I just say yes.’” - Becky Murray “I think as long as our eyes are constantly fixed on Him, that makes all the difference, because it takes your eyes off the mountain and puts them on the One who can move those mountains.” - Becky Murray “The kids became more than just kids that were abandoned or vulnerable, living in poverty, they became names and faces and personality.” - Andrea Kazindra “If a woman delivers a baby in one of Musana’s hospitals, it is four times more likely that the baby will survive than if the baby is born at another facility in Uganda.” - Andrea Kazindra “One thing that I’ve learned being in Uganda is that prayer can be a part of every day, throughout the day. I think when you don’t have much and you don’t know what you’re going to feed your family next week, your reliance and trust has to be in God.” - Andrea Kazindra “The only reason Musana is what it is today and has grown into what it is today is because it has had God’s hand in it.” - Andrea Kazindra ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
