V127 May Update
Dear Friends, Happy Mother’s Day! I am reflecting today on my amazing mom, who has now been with Jesus for 30 years, and a grandmother who was fierce in her love for her Savior. I am also thanking God for some incredible Ugandan mothers who love and provide for their children in conditions that are difficult for us to comprehend. For many of them, their main objective in each day is to find food for their family. The conditions are

V127 April Update
Dear Friends, First of all, thank you so much to those of you who contributed to our emergency rice and beans donation last week! God provided $2500 for us to send specifically for food for our families and others who are suffering. Our team sprang into action and purchased what they could and delivered it right away.

Her father died when she was young and she was raised by her grandmother. When she came to us, she was

V127 Higher Education Update
Dear Friends, I wanted to update you on the purpose and function of our higher education fund. When we first started this ministry, we quickly realized that we want to provide our children with every possible opportunity to succeed. We were not going to abandon them when they completed secondary school, so we committed to helping any of our students who qualified to attend vocational school or college. This is a challenging venture, for we are not asking our sponsors to

Victory Primary School We are so excited that God provided the funds we needed to complete Phase 2 of our Victory Primary School construction project! Our team has been working feverishly to get our four new classrooms ready for the 2020 school year that began Feb 3rd.
