Welcome Deborah and Florence!!

We welcome two new children to our LSH family. Debroah and Florence make 60 children now at the home which is our intended capacity. Last year we expanded the home by constructing a new dorm building, separated the boys from the girls, and now have filled it with God’s children. Praise the Lord! These kids and several others still need sponsor families to pray for and connect with them. Please check out them all here.

Deborah Nasimiyu was was born on Jan 15, 2008. Her father was killed by robbers. Her mother has other kids and no stable income, doing odd jobs for survival and living in a rented house. Deborah is in ECD ie Nursery Class.

Florence Nasimiyu was born on Nov. 24, 2005. Her father died of asthma this year and due to the family state, the are Chief asked us to help and at least take care of one kid or so. Florence’s mother shares 1 acre of land with the late husband’s family and has a big number of kids to take care of, including 3 from the husband’s previous marriage. Florence is in class two.

Meet some kids from the SOH Orphanage…

We have loaded individual photos of many of the kids living at the Stream of Hope Home in Nawantale, Uganda on the Mission Servants website. Click here for photo gallery.

These kids are fully supported with food, housing, medicine, clothing, and education. This is a newly formed orphanage and has many needs to improve conditions of health and welfare. We are praying for provisions to meet this need. Please look to the website, these blog updates, or contact us for more information.

Groundbreaking!!! New LSA building #1

Ground was broken this week on the 1st new building for the Lord’s Servants Academy. It is going to be a 4 room building and God willing, the first of several. This building will house the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade classes and likely a teacher’s office or 4th grade in the 4th room. The ECD (kindergarten and pre-school) class will continue to be held in the Lord’s Servants Home dining hall building. The building will be completed in time for the 3rd semester of 2013 which starts in September.

This is very exciting because we will be providing a better education for our kids as well as providing an education for many community children who are unable to go to school. Our goal as a mission (not for profit ) school is to provide a best in area education with a Christian basis yet allow means to help needy children attend. This is a great way to serve and interact with the community. I also look forward to discussing mission trip opportunities to serve the school in 2014.

Praise God! I’ll be updating progress on this as we go….

Stream of Hope Home – Uganda added as a supported ministry of Mission Servants

After prayerful consideration and seeing first hand the need and heart at the Stream of Hope for the African Child (SOHAC) Home in Nawantale, Uganda, we decided to add them as a supported ministry. See previous blog. I am excited that we will be working in partnership with Rev. Kathy Bailey and Friends at Serving the Lord Ministries in Quinebaug, CT to serve SOHAC in Jesus’ name.

We have provided some funding already for weekly food for the 46 children currently at the home, medical assistance, and given direction on a few projects to improve the health conditions at the home. Improvements are being made to the kitchen shelter and an agreement made with the landlord to allow him to improve the latrine and finish the floors in the house. Pastor Isabirye Paulous is a loving and committed man to these children and he has a great team of people focused on them. Some of them are in this photo below…Pastor Isabirye is 2nd from the right in the back row.

Needs exist, beyond regular food and supplies, to help the kids with school uniforms and school fees. They also need better cooking equipment, food storage, water storage, beds, bedding, mosquito nets, pest control, clothes washing supplies, and clothing. They do have faith that God provides.

Being a supported ministry of Mission Servants means that we have the ability to funnel funds and support to them and will be providing direction on improving the safety, health, and quality of the home with a long-term vision for the children to fullfill God’s purpose in their lives. You will see that some web pages and information has been added to the website here. Much more information will be added soon on the website and in blogs.

Thank you for your prayers for God’s direction, guidance, protection, and provisions.
