Update 2/27/21: Phase 2 has been completed! Praise God! This is our very first boarding section for our school and it will be a dormitory for girls, called the Joanne Gentile Dormitory for Girls. Our girls dorm is named after one of our long time sponsors, Joanne Gentile. Joanne went home to be with Jesus a few months ago but had a huge heart for missions, and her memorial fund has been a sweet encouragement to the ministry. We will be able to house 44 girls there, and there are also bathrooms, 4 housing units for our teachers and a housing unit for the Dorm Mother.
We started this project in March of 2020 with $5000 and God has graciously provided enough each month to keep the construction moving. We were able to complete the construction for $38,000. The fact that we have been able to complete this project in the midst of the pandemic is even more amazing. Thank you so much to those of you who have prayed and given so generously. It will be such a blessing to our Ugandan family!
The children at Victory House are certainly getting an education in building & construction, as the laborers are hard at work on that second floor. God continues to provide for this project and we are zeroing in on what we need for completion. Pray with us for God’s provision. This will be such a blessing to our children who have nowhere else to live, as well as enabling more of our teachers to have a home close to our school.

The boarding section is going to meet a huge need, as is the additional housing for our teachers.
