This is a limited recap written with Gratitude and excitement for God’s work through Mission Servants Ministry (MSM). 2025 was filled with several amazing construction projects and efforts that impact our target communities and children in Kenya and Uganda. Thank you for your prayers and support for these awesome efforts and for standing with us in eager service into 2026. Your funding is the sole means of meeting these levels of need. What you will see is accomplished on a roughly $250,000 budget per year. A tiny amount in the domain of world ministries. This is possible because we are 100% corporately volunteer and have zero staff that is not African and on site. All labor is locally sourced or often volunteer in cooperation with community groups. For MSMs history, 19 years now, money is a tool that we are efficiently using and make much happen. More information on how to join in support is here…

High School CRM kids ready to begin the year.

CRM Kids and staff.

MSM meets the complete needs of 45 formerly vulnerable children where they live full time at the Child Redeemed Mission Home (CRM) in Uganda and part support for roughly 75 more that attend Trade Schools, High Schools, or are older graduated children starting off as adults from Lord’s Servants Home (LSH) in Kenya and Child Redeemed Mission Home (CRM). MSM also supports from a capital improvement standpoint, building infrastructure and improvements, four elementary schools with a total enrollment of over 1200 children. Community assistance with vital resource projects are another area of ministry with MSM funding improvements on 17 water sources in 2025 impacting thousands of families.

A new Junior Elementary School, Child Redeemed Mission Primary School (CRMPS) was built and founded by MSM. It is adjacent to the CRM home. The CRMPS school opened in February in a new 5 room class building to serve the community near CRM. Two Nursery classes, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 provided education for 91 students, most of which would not have gone to school at all. The goal is to target young low income kids who can’t reach the far off schools to get a quality educational start and give them twice daily meals.

Kindergarten graduation to Grade 1. First Class, 2025.

This year we added a 2nd 5 room class building and will expand the offered classes to Grade 5. we plan on enrollment to be near 200 for 2025.

In order to attract quality teachers to a rural school, quality housing must be provided. Land was purchased and a 10 room teachers compound was built. Nice private rooms, latrine and wash house, a social shelter, garden space, and solar power for lights was constructed.

Three Mission Trips were made to visit the 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 requiring contact, train and encourage, and love the children and people in our sponsored homes, schools, and communities. One trip in August featured a medical outreach for the community that served hundreds with medical, dental, and optical. The need for several surgeries were identified and needed procedures were funded.

That is life during a trip to the CRM Home. Pure joy!

17 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 and safe access to at least 100 families, often more than 300 per site. These projects are self sustaining from a maintenance standpoint as committees are elected and small funds collected to save for maintenance and help with future communities to start projects.

After….

A trip to Kenya in January supported a Pastors conference at the Lyavo Bible Church and Lord’s Servants Home as well as training programs for High Schoolers and Women. These annual conferences provide needed training and encouragement for local Pastors of small churches. Over 30 attended and were positively impacted with God’s word for their ministries.

What is planned in 2026?…Expand the CRMPS school from Grade 1 to Grade 5, a Trip in Jan. to Kenya to support a Pastors conference and another in May to Uganda, more community projects, 12 new children joining CRM, and see our supported children continue to grow into loving, healthy, educated, motivated, and productive citizens. We are also planning and budgeting for future needed projects including a kitchen and front wall/gate for CRMPS, teachers and student dorms at Rockview Primary School, and providing Widows homes in Bwase community. We are thankful for your prayers and support, whether monthly or one time. They are answers to our prayers and necessary to our work. 

Please pray about joining us. Prayer, focused efforts on the ground, and efficient use of funds is our secret but we are fueled by people who enjoy seeing impactful things happen in lives of children and communities for the Glory of Jesus. 100% of our funding is by individual donors. We use what we are given for our stated goals of vulnerable child support, education of the needy, sharing the love of Christ, and community projects.
