What happens when you leave everything familiar behind… and step into a place that changes your heart forever?
In A Village in My Heart, author Jason Himes shares a powerful, true story of traveling to Uganda on a mission trip that would challenge his perspective, deepen his faith, and redefine what it means to love others.
From the moment he arrives, Jason is immersed in a world far different from his own—where children walk miles to school, resources are scarce, and yet joy, gratitude, and faith shine brighter than anything he has ever experienced.
Through unforgettable moments with the children, meaningful connections with local leaders, and hands-on service projects that leave a lasting impact, this journey becomes more than a trip—it becomes a calling.

A firsthand look at life in a Ugandan village
The emotional highs and challenges of a mission trip
Powerful encounters with children whose joy will stay with you
Stories of service, compassion, and human connection
A deeper understanding of faith in action
