When God gives you a vision, you go for it.
When God opens your eyes to a need, you don't pretend you don't see it.
When God whispers to your heart, you listen.
When God asks of you the hard, you take hold of His hand.
When God provides you with everything you need, you praise Him.
Yesu Asobola- Jesus is able.
A school. In the poverty and war torn area. It was two friends and I who sat on the patio and dreamed of it. God open the doors so wide that there was nearly no hesitation. This was for us.
There's a village in north-eastern Uganda. It's filled with children who have felt the lasting effects of the war. They are mostly orphaned by HIV/AIDS. How can I overlook the need? How can I know these children are there and walk away? How can I return to the comforts of home and not even care?
Our dream unfolded before our eyes, and I was amazed, and am amazed by the hand of God. Every detail, everything had been worked out- He even provided the land! Our school will be a school and a home for the children who have no family. We will provide health and parenting education. We will provide a 6 months trade school program for those who are older and do not want to complete school, but long for a future to provide for themselves. We also hope to have a small clinic, church, garden, goats and chickens.
Here's the deal- to see this become reality we need the people of Christ to arise and support us- financially, in prayer and in doing. We hope to travel visiting churches, speaking about our love for Uganda and our village kids, sharing our visions. We need to raise $300,000. We also need teams who are willing to come and build. We need you.
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.
For I know the plans I have for you." declares the Lord "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.
Our command is to care for the orphan. If you call yourself a Christian and I have brought awareness to these orphans in Soroti, Uganda, then you are now responsible.
