2024 Quick Summary for Mission Servants Ministry

This is a quick post of sincere Gratitude and encouragement. 2024 was filled with amazing projects and efforts that lovingly and eternally impacted our target communities and children in Kenya and Uganda. Thank you for your prayers and support for these awesome things and for standing with us in eager service into 2025. Your funding is the sole means of meeting these levels of need. All I am reporting is accomplished on a roughly $250,000 budget per year. More information and how to support here…

MSM meets the complete needs of roughly 70 children at the two homes in Kenya and Uganda and higher education support for many more of among the older graduated children. Lord’s Servants Home (LSH) and Child Redeemed Mission Home (CRM). All workers employed are nationals. MSM also supports the children’s Primary and High schools through fees, projects, and other assistance.

3 Mission Trips were made to projects, homes, and schools in Kenya and Uganda. These are crucial to organize activities that go on year round, bring materials and serve in ways not available in country, train and encourage, and love the children and people in our sponsored homes, schools, and communities.

11 Community Clean Water Access Projects were completed in Kenya near the LSH home. Typically these involve securing a shallow well site from contamination and installing a closed hand pump to provide clean access to at least 100 families, often more than 200 per site.

A security fence was completed around Rock View Primary School (RVPS). This provides important security for the school property and boarding Children.

A new Kitchen was built and completed at RVPS allowing for growth at the school up to 500 kids and a more efficient cooking.

A new Junior Elementary School was birthed. The Bwase Redeemed Junior School (BRJS) is under construction and will open in February of 2025 to serve the community near CRM. Nursery, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 will open. This will allow small kids who can’t reach the far off schools to get a quality educational start and twice daily meals.

Assisted a new medical clinic, The Nisaya Clinic start up in a small trading center near to the RVPS school to serve people previously needing to travel over 15 miles to find health services. Support, technical assistance and loans have allowed them to obtain lab equipment and set up a maternity ward.

Established a unique Home Schooling intervention program for 11 slow learning children from the CRM Home. This will help insure kids are not getting left behind educationally. 2 new Children joined the CRM home.

Kingdom work is a priority by encouraging and partnering with the local churches, Bwase Redeemed Church and Lyavo Bible Church. Churches have been planted, Widows have been served, Bedding provided for kids, People are being Baptized, a local Witch has found Jesus and burned his witch tools. The Teso People Group Evangelism teams were supported through technical equipment and training.

What is planned in 2025?…Open the BRJS school, 2 Trips in Jan., more community projects, new children join CRM, and see our supported children grow into loving, healthy, educated, motivated, and productive citizens. We are thankful for your prayers and support, whether monthly or one time. They are answers to our prayers and necessary to our work.

Thank you very much and may God bless your Christmas and New Year,

Bob Hillebrand
