Secondary School
We are delighted to inform you of the achievements of 67 of our children. The Ugandan education system runs differently than that of the United States. Rather than the familiar August to May schedule, the Ugandan school year lasts from February to December each year, which means these children are getting ready to start their secondary education.
Children in Uganda are in primary school for seven years, Primary 1 through Primary 7. At the end of Primary 7, nationwide tests are administered to the children. These tests are long and difficult, weeding out students that didn't full grasp all of their course material. This is the test that your child just completed.
These test scores determine whether or not a child will be invited to attend a secondary school. Secondary school is a great accomplishment, and the admissions process is much similar to University admissions in the United States. We are so excited for these children, and we know they will do great in secondary school.
However, this secondary education comes with its cost. It is a boarding school, so the children will be away during the school year, coming back to the orphan village during breaks. Tuition and books exceed what regular sponsorship can cover. Would you be willing and able to help with the extra cost so that these children can go on to secondary school? It will run $250 extra per school term which comes to $750 per year for them to go to secondary school. Could you donate to their education before February or add an additional $63 to your current sponsorship each month?
We would be so grateful if you could help out some of these children to continue their education. Please pray about it and let us know if you are able to help. You can contact the Orphan Department at orphans@christianlifeministries.org.

The Vision: Revisited
God has used you. He has used you to change the landscape of a nation in desperate need. God has used in the past, and some of you consistently through the years, to free children from starvation and abandonment, to bring thousands to God’s Kingdom, to transform the fate of Uganda.
You sent us to the orphans, and you built houses. Now, you have built two orphan villages and extricated approximately 1,000 children from conditions of extreme poverty, starvation, disease, intolerance, and abandonment. You are leading today’s orphans towards becoming tomorrow’s leaders.
You have planted close to 1,000 churches across Uganda and East Africa and lead thousands to experience a passionate life in Christ. You have filled bellies and souls.
You have done all of this!
Thank you for allowing God to use you and us as conduits to channel your support and outreach. We are consistently humbled to be a part of seeing lives literally transformed.
A mere fifteen years ago, with a dream and a tent, we launched a vision for a church in our beloved country. Now, after so much time has passed and the face of the church and ministry has grown, our staff at Christian Life Church and Christian Life Ministries and I are still as passionate as always to reach out to the world and change the fate of his nation. Now, as we continue strategic growth, the vision is as strong as ever, though it has changed shape as God has led the ministry through the tide.
But, God is not done. He is not done with us, and he is not done with you! We have more ground to take on: figuratively and literally. The moment we all sit back and pat ourselves on the back for a job well done, Satan is on the move. We must not relent. We must continue to pursue our goals and dreams for a Uganda freed of poverty, for children freed of hunger and angst. We must revisit the vision daily to bring more and more people to God’s Kingdom in an effort to end the needless suffering of people at the hands of their own kind.
