Trip Planned to Uganda in January

Can you imagine ….helping to open a new school for a community full of kids that for most was not going to be able to go to school? ….encouraging many children including endangered ones fresh to life in a home? ….leaving behind vast improvements in facilities and lives? ….delivering tools and supplies that are needed for progress? ….being blessed in sharing the Gospel, the Love of Christ, through our love and efforts? Please pray for us and about joining us in person or in support.

Elderly Outreach in Bwase, Uganda

The Bwase Redeemed Church (BRC), home church of the Child Redeemed Mission (CRM) Home is very community serving oriented and you can feel the Holy Spirit’s love there. They have a special heart for the elderly and widows in the area and have accomplished some amazing works to serve them. Greg worked with them on a project to target very needy elderly people and bring them blankets and food. This work was through the BRC church completely and with church and CRM children volunteers. The joy this church has in serving, discipling, and planting is heartwarming. The joy the kids from CRM have in helping in Jesus’ name is priceless.

BIG NEWS….MSM Birthing a new school in Uganda

Private school educated children in general perform at twice the level in reading and math. English is the national language of education and business. Most kids fail any subject because they simply can’t read the teacher notes, books, or even test questions.

After dreaming for several years and more than a year of discussions with community leaders, government officials, and parents…..Mission Servants Ministry (MSM) is submitting to serve and fill this need for a viable private Christian based school to educate the youngest of the children in the community of Bwase, home of the Child Redeemed Mission Home (CRM). Welcome the Bwase Redeemed Junior School (BRJS).

The Vision is to provide excellent early education for Preschool, Kindergarten, and up to Grade 4. These are crucial foundational years. Once the children get a good foundational education, they will either be old enough to walk the 2 miles to another Primary School, or can qualify for a boarding school for Grade 5 and above.

The Need is because the distance to elementary schools from Bwase is too far for small children to walk and low economic resources of families cannot provide transportation. This prevents the youngest children from attending schools altogether or rely on very poorly performing basic ones. Too many children can be found about, instead of in school, and they will get hopelessly behind.

The Idea is a partnership between MSM, the CRM Home and Bwase Redeemed Church (BRC), Community leaders, a Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), and Parents thru reasonable fees. MSM will provide the facilities, land, desks, and means to start a school. CRM will share facilities in the early phase and house teachers, BRC to pray and provide support, The parents and PTO to provide tuition fees and assistance to pay teachers salaries and feeding for the children.

The Plan is to start with Phase 1 and construct a class building, latrine, and fence incorporated on the new land recently purchased by MSM adjacent to the CRM property, and open Pre-school, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 in January of 2025. The next phases will allow adding at least one grade each year until we serve Grade 4.

The Promise is to hire good qualified teachers, limit class sizes to 45 kids (Government schools have as many as 160), and feed all kids (not so in government schools), and promote kids only if they qualify (not so with government schools who are required to pass students).

May God continue to bless our efforts with this, protect us, and provide. We are funded for construction of Phase 1 buildings but are praying for funds for desks, equipment, and materials. Thank you for your prayers and support for MSM and our missions.

How did they get by before? New Kitchen. Trip 42 Update 4

Serving breakfast and lunch to 400 plus kids and staff from a kitchen with a collapsed roof and wall with a big pot sitting on 3 rocks over a fire…..

Rock View Primary School (RVPS) is located in a rural village called Kasolwe, Uganda. Mission Servants Ministry has assisted RVPS with needed facilities and improvements for 5 yyears now since they are the main source of education for kids in that area. The last project, completed earlier this year, was the fence, Guard house and front gate. During this trip, meetings and discussions on final design and location allowed for ground to be broken on a new kitchen.

Somehow RVPS managed to feed over 400 kids and staff with this as their kitchen. Porridge for breakfast and a hot lunch is a main part of the diet for these school kids.

We modeled the new kitchen on the structure MSM built at another school, Promise Primary School (PPS). Improvements in number of wood fired cookers, storage, ventilation, and lightings were built in with the benefit of the experience at PPS. This project will be complete by December and ready for the next school year beginning in January. As with all MSM projects, 100% of materials, labor, and contracting are local and benefitting the community economy.

Thank you for your prayers and support of Mission Servants Ministry and our mission to help local national Christian organizations that serve God and Children to solve roadblock problems so they can do more in their communities. To God be the praise, glory, and honor.

Trip to Uganda. MSM #42

Tomorrow, 9 August, Greg and Scott leave for a week in Uganda to visit the Mission Servants Ministry supported ministries and organizations near Kamuli, Uganda….Child Redeemed Mission Home (CRM), Promise Primary School (PPS), Rock View Primary School (RVPS) as well as other projects, organizations, and initiatives that are being served to honor Christ.

I will post and update regularly during this trip but in summary, improving education for the CRM kids, the 900 children at PPS and RVPS, and the many early class children in the community of Bwase (Surrounding the CRM Home). Among several items, a new Kitchen project will break ground at RVPS and playgrounds improved, a back-up power system repaired at PPS, a home school program for challenged CRM learners will be evaluated, and a proposed new early education school is being discussed with the Bwase community. Education is the key to a positive future, especially with a healthy, nurturing, and Christian foundation.

Please pray for the protection and guidance of Greg and Scott and the meetings to be held this coming week.
