Jireh Children’s Home
Children all over Uganda live without adequate food, shelter, and education. Even more, they live without mothers or fathers or anyone else to hold them and give them security in life. With over two million orphans and an ever-growing number of destitute children, the call for help is great.
As an answer to that call, we opened the doors to our first children’s home in December of 2010. It has truly been a joy to be the hands and feet of Christ in these precious little lives. The home, located in Kampala, will soon reach full capacity with twenty children. It is a pure delight to go there and experience the busyness, love, and laughter that abounds. The children are all growing in the Lord and are filled with grateful hearts. They love their new home, their wonderful mother (Moma Grace), and each other.
We are praying for God’s provision to purchase land in 2012 so that we can begin the first phase of an expansion that will eventually provide homes for 120 orphans and destitute children. It is a big goal but one that we can achieve through the provision and grace of our God. Jireh means “God will provide.”
