Attention Dear Sponsors

We want to take a minute to remind you that it is critical that you send all monetary donations through our ministry and not directly to the children. This applies both to parcels as well as when visiting through missions. Our children have never been talked to about smart monetary spending except for the Tithe, so realistically they do not know how to handle money responsibly. This is why it is important that we handle the financial aspects of these children's lives. We appreciate your generosity and are grateful for your love for these children.

In regards to parcels, please be sure that you are paying attention to the guidelines we have set up for you as outlined in your welcome letter. It is important that you do not send parcels that are larger than a FLAT 8 1/2 x 11 envelope. Anything larger that is being sent cost more for pick up as we are taxed on the items. Please note that we will not be picking up parcels if they are not within the guidelines we have specified. We would appreciate you following these guidelines so that we can be the best stewards of the finances you have entrusted us with to care for your child.

The New School

Thanks to U-kids for all their hard work this summer! They finished the first floor of the new school building just in time for school to reconvene for the August session. The kids were so excited to see the new building. This new school building is a blessing for our continually growing Christian Life Ministry kids. The students will continue to use the old school building, as well, until the second floor of the new building is complete.

The kids are enjoying their new building with it’s new desks and they’re anxious to begin learning. Teachers too are enjoying the new classrooms which are equipped with black boards. Such a simple thing can make such a big impact on the ability of students to learn new concepts and teachers to teach. They now can use the blackboard to communicate & demonstrate ideas and list important information they are teaching. Visual aids help both the teachers and students organize information to be learned. The use of a black board can help to create an interactive and varied learning experience. Thus reaching students with a wide range of learning styles or abilities.

The new building serves babies to Primary 5 students where they have a variety of classes which includes: Math, Science, English, Writing and Music. They spend about eight hours at school each day and learning is such a large part of their every day life. We are so glad this facility has been furnished for them to continue the enrichment of these kids.

We cannot thank our wonderful sponsors or U-kids enough for their generosity without your help none of this would be possible. We pray this blessing upon each of you. “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”
Proverbs 11:25

We are thankful for a gracious and wonderful God that allows us to be apart of these children’s lives and watch them grow. Praise the Lord for a school building that will help these children continuously learn more and more each day!

Preparing for Secondary School

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Nelson Mandela

It is that time of year again when our P7 kids are preparing for their Secondary School admissions tests. We have eighty-three kids studying for their upcoming tests this November. The test is a cumulative test that examines a child’s knowledge to ensure they are ready for Secondary School. They begin studying early because everyone wants to progress to the next level.

Africa’s Primary Schools comprise grades 1 through 7 and Secondary Schools are grades 8th to 12th. All students must pass examinations to enter Secondary Schools. Student’s know that a good education can help them have a better and more enriched life. We are glad our students strive to excel in school and thirst to increase their knowledge. We can only hope this love of knowledge will continue throughout their lives.

We ask all of our sponsors to keep these boys and girls in their prayers. It is a great time to send a supportive letter to your sponsored child and give them extra encouragement letting them know they can do it.

“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but an encouraging word makes it glad”

Proverbs 12:25

Scripture Sundays: Repentance

Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And God permitting, we will do so.

It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

Hebrews 6: 1-6

Scripture Sundays: Blessings & Woes

Looking at his disciples, he said:
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
“Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
“But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.

Luke 6:20-26

Healing!!

In a lot of our prayers, the word healing is used. It may be used for a family member, a friend, or even one’s self, but we are not only asking for physical healing, but also for supernatural healing! This type of healing can only come from our Lord and Savior! In sweet Sylvia’s case, these prayers have been answered in a truly supernatural way and has been a testimony to others. She has had cerebral malaria since she was a baby and has never walked until now!!

Secondary School Students Soaring!!

We are very proud of our secondary school students and the academic success and improvements they have made. We take pride in being able to say that almost one hundred of our children have passed the entrance exam into secondary school and have been making great progress in their education and grades.

Some of them are holding positions of responsibility as student leaders and prefects; one of the girls, Sylvia Nabuuma is the Assistant Head Girl at the London College campus (St. Johns). Teddy Nalwanga is Assistant Head Girl of Crown City (St. Lawrence). Morris Ojuko is Head Minister over Religious Affairs and nicknamed “Pastor” as he preaches to anyone who will listen.

Ann Powell and Mark Gosvener, on behalf of the Ukids, prayed for these children for higher levels of excellence and God’s protection. Nine of our children placed amongst the Top 10 students in their school:

Nabukeera Irene (2ND),
Okenyi George (3RD),
Okello Ronny (4TH),
Mukasa Joseph (5TH),
Kamukamu Florence (6TH),
Mukisa Edgar (7TH),
Lugonda Joel Gerald (8TH),
OJjuka Richard (10TH).

Our dream to raise them as leaders is coming true. Continue to pray for these children and their achievements. We are so proud of them!

Soccer Team

Soccer, football in Uganda, is a favorite sport among most of our boys. Many of their breaks are spent on the field or kicking a ball around the orphanage. They not only play because they love it, but many of them are good at it too.

In fact, one of our teams has gone on to the district level in soccer. This is a great accomplishment for our boys and exciting news for us.

We also are proud to announce that two of our secondary students have entered the National Soccer League. They are Michael Kiyimba and Brian Mukwaya. Congratulations boys!
