Trip 28 to Uganda and Kenya, Update 2 …VBS Fun

The Child Redeemed Mission Home and the Bwase Redeemed Church hosted a Vacation Bible School for the Community kids under 11 years old.  We had roughly 300 kids and 30 volunteers and great weather.  The kids got a full day of Bible stories, crafts, running around games, a hot meal, and a message to bring home.  The day was full of sweet moments and was a lot of fun for us and a great time for them.

Trip 28 to Uganda and Kenya, Update 1

Launching Trip 26 today.  Greg, Randy, and I are headed for Uganda and next week Randal and Cheryl join us.  We have all been to Africa many times but we still are excited to get back.  In general we will be loving on the kids and people at Child Redeemed Mission Home in Uganda, the Teso Evangelism ministry in Malaba, Kenya, and the kids at Lord’s Servants Home in Kitale, Kenya.

I will post updates about how it is going….coming up, Swing Set for the Rock View Primary School, Teso evangelism training, visiting the kids at Lord’s Servants Home, VBS at Child Redeemed Mission Home, and a Medical Vision Outreach for the Bwase Community.

Your prayers and support are vital and appreciated!

New Kids to CRM

As the older kids at Child Redeemed Mission Home advance into High School (Boarding School) and move, it opens up room to bring in new children.  The District Child Officer recommends children from the area that are of Highest Vulnerability.  Six children with an urgent need to be put in the care of a Children’s Home for their protection were accepted recently to CRM.  They have begun school and are happily part of the family.

Trip 26 – Uganda, Update 6 Summary

I enjoy reviewing a trip, once home, and summarizing how it went compared to expectations.  It amazes me without fail how willing people are used by God to serve in a loving and tangible way.  Our goals were to…

  • Build a playground and finish the 4 room school building addition at Promise Primary.  See Update…Promise Primary opens and See Update 2
  • Make upgrades and repairs to Child Redeemed Mission Home.  See Update 1
  • Help prepare the kids to start the school year.  See Update…Back to School
  • Bring and distribute 10 bags of clothes and shoes…including soccer gear.
  • Visit the Teso ministry in Torroro, upgrade audio and video capabilities and encourage their training and evangelism efforts.
  • Interact with the community, church, schools, and families.  See Update 3

It was a successful and positive trip for all.   We use what the Holy Spirit gives each of us to serve which may include handyman skills, teaching talent, medical training, empathy for people and love for children, or just willingness to be there. (SHAMELESS PLUG…Pray about joining us on upcoming trips in August and January)
