228. 21 Days in Africa: Loving the One in Front of You

21 Days in Africa is a story of a comedian going to Uganda to preach the gospel, minister to orphans and widows, and see the love of Jesus in an impoverished region. Zach unpacks his mission trip he went on with The Suubi Project and is inspiring other believers to say, "Here I am, Lord. Send Me." In this episode, you’ll hear powerful, real-life stories from my 21 days in Uganda — moments that wrecked me, reshaped me, and reminded me what loving people like Jesus actually looks like. You’ll meet Janet, a young girl abandoned by her father; hear the wild moment God confronted me with a “SEND ME” van on the side of the road; and experience Sarge’s birthday, which turned into a masterclass in generosity and joy. These stories will shake your perspective, deepen your faith, and push you toward your calling.You’ll also step into the homes of widows, families facing extreme poverty, and kids whose joy hits harder than any sermon. If you’re craving Christian inspiration, mission trip stories, spiritual growth, or a fresh encounter with purpose — this episode will light you up.Don't miss the special taping of this story and please share it!📘 Get Zach's NEW BOOK "21 Days in Africa Signed copy: HEREAmazon: HERESupport the Suubi Project by donating or sponsoring a child: https://suubiproject.org/sponsorFind out more about Dove Publishing: https://www.dovepublishinghouse.com/Partner with I Like Birds Ministry:🎁 Get a Free 7-Day Trial on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/ILikeBirds🕊️: GIVE to I Like Birds https://ilikebirdsministry.com/support🧢: Bird Merch: https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop📣 Connect With ZachInstagram: @ilikebirdsministryFacebook: facebook.com/zachrippey23Email: [email protected]
