Video highlighting the Stream of Hope Home story

This is a nice little video showing the People, Place, and Purpose of the Stream of Hope Home.  Mission Servants Ministry is blessed to sponsor and participate in the loving work to raise up the 46 children there.  They are doing very well and improved so much in the year we have known them.  2014 will be an exciting year at the home with our land purchase and new construction.  Follow what happens…

SOH Project #1…Girls Latrine and Washhouse

The land purchase was finalized a little over a week ago and we are rapidly progressing to be able to move the 26 girls to the site.  This will cut out over 4 miles of walking each day and be a huge blessing especially for the girls that have illnesses.

The 1st project to complete before the move is possible is a latrine.  We are constructing a 5 door building with 3 latrines and 2 wash rooms.

The happy looks on their faces tell the whole story.

Jan. ’14 Trip to SOH, Uganda – Update #2

Pastor Moses described the group of 7 that traveled to visit as “a strong team” and he was amazed at what they have accomplished in a short time.

Greg, Ed, Pastor Moses, and Dr. Ben visited the SOH Home and returned to the LSH Home safely last night.   The rest of the team stayed at the LSH Home.  Here are a few highlights of the 3 days at the Stream of Hope Home in Uganda.

Greg reported that the kids were in great shape, happy and healthy. The best that he has seen them.

Dr. Ben from Kitale (center back row, next to Ed) evaluated all the children, left recommendations as needed, and left medicine and instructions with the caretaker. Several have conditions that require care and one little girl is seriously ill.

Greg, Ed, Pastor Moses, and Pastor Paul are discussing the purchase of a tract of land with the owner and a lawyer. We hope to complete the purchase and begin building a permanent compound for the children like we have at LSH in Kenya.

Jan. ’14 Trip to Kenya/Uganda – Update #1

This past weekend our team of Greg Perkins.

Yesterday Greg and Ed with Pastor Moses and Dr. Ben from Kitale, traveled to the SOH Home in Uganda.  They are working on immediate needs at the home, assessing the children’s health, and planning for future improvements.  One primary goal is to review several possible sites to purchase for a permanent home site.  Greg reports that they are negotiating with an owner about a piece of property.

We will report more soon.  Please pray for their safety and for God to work mightily through them.

Christmas in Africa….

The kids at The Lord’s Servants Home and at The Stream of Hope Home had a Christmas celebration because of Sponsors and generous people sharing with them.

We have provided clothing, a book, a trip to the Nature Park, and a special meal to the kids at LSH in Kenya for years.  They enjoyed it just as much this year….

This is the first year that we have stood with the kids at SOH in Uganda in support and maybe the first Christmas celebration for many of them.  They got some new clothes, a fun day, and a really special meal with a soda.
