THEIR FIRST REAL HOME!              NEW BOYS AND GIRLS DORMS!

          

   THE MISSING LINK!!!

THESE CHILDREN NEED A REAL PLACE TO CALL HOME...WILL YOU HELP US GET THE CHILDREN INTO THEIR NEW PERMANENT HOMES BEFORE THE COLD, WET RAINY SEASON BEGINS IN A FEW WEEKS? THE BUS IS THE MISSING LINK IN THIS PROCESS!!

The day was February 28, 2016...the place was a slum village in Mbale, Uganda...the occasion was the birth of HOPE!

On February 28, 2016 HOPE was birthed into the lives of 20 orphaned and at-risk children in the Namatala Slum in Mbale, Uganda.  It was on this day that these precious children were welcomed into what many of them would call their first real home...a 40' x 40' modified "revival" tent located on the grounds of Ebenezer Baptist Church.  On that day these precious children received their very own beds, complete with mattresses, sheets, blankets, pillows, and even a mosquito net to protect them from being bitten while sleeping! For over two years these children have lived in this "home" always giving thanks to the gracious God who provided the tent. All the while we have continued to seek this same willing God with hopes for more permanent housing for the 29 children who are now living in the tent.

These children have lived under the shelter of the tent without complaint, even in the midst of the storms that partially collapsed the tent on several occasions, the floods that have washed through the tent leaving thick layers of mud across the floor, the cold & wet nights of two long rainy seasons, and the hot and dry days of two long Ugandan summers! But in the evenings and early mornings if you have had the privilege of standing outside those tents, those precious children can be heard praying and singing praises to their God for giving them their new home!!! We continue to join them in praise to God, while still wanting so desperately to get them into permanent homes with indoor plumbing and electricity, under the protection of a tin roof that is void of the thick dark cover of mold now covering the ceiling of the tent.

AND GOD HAS BREATHED LIFE INTO OUR VISION OF PERMANENT HOMES FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!

The dormitory homes for both the boys and the girls are now finished at the farmland property, where the new school is currently under construction. The property is completely surrounded by 7-foot high security fences, and security lighting will soon be installed. This property is about a fifteen minute drive from their current tent "home" and the school which they currently attend, so the only thing standing in the way of us getting the children moved out there is the need for a bus to transport them back and forth to school.

Exodus 2:25b declares: "And God knew..." and surely He must have known our needs. Our ministry Board of Directors met on Sunday evening and we voted to push forward with securing a 30-passenger bus. (It will be very similar to the one pictured above under the heading THE MISSING LINK). Before we could even get the first announcement out about the need for the bus, a cost of $20,000-$25,000 which includes insurance, registration, and the training and certification of two drivers to transport the children, God had already placed almost $3000.00 in our hands!  And ALL the time God is good!!

THE CHALLENGE:  RAISE THE $20,000-$22,000 NEEDED TO PURCHASE THE BUS BEFORE THE RAINY SEASON BEGINS IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, WHEN THE TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN BEGIN TO DROP IN THE NIGHTTIME!!!

IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS AMAZING CHALLENGE YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE THROUGH ONE OF THE SEVERAL WAYS LISTED ON OUR WEBSITE, OR BY CLICKING ON THE FOLLOW LINK:  BUY THE KIDS A BUS!!

I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT THIS BUS WILL ALSO BE USED TO TRANSPORT THE TEAMS WHEN WE TRAVEL TO UGANDA, SAVING THE MINISTRY ON AVERAGE $750-$1000 PER TRIP IN RENTAL COSTS!!!

Thanks again to each of you for your faithfulness to stand with us in this ongoing journey that is reaping so many souls for the Kingdom of God!  Lives truly are being transformed beyond anything we could have ever imagined, and your prayers and generous support have gotten us to where we are at today... STANDING IN AWE OF THE MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!

ALL FOR HIS GLORY!!!
