We were also fortunate to ordain 50 Pastors and Deacons with the authority to lead others in various church duties and help shepherd the flock of believers. It is so important for our ministry to continue to train and educate church leaders on Biblical principles to maintain a strong and healthy community and outreach.
Love for Uganda Abounds
Desiree Jones • November 25, 2020
When the motives are pure, the possibilities are endless. We have been unbelievably blessed by dedicated individuals in our Uganda ministry for Fountain of Hope School. They have offered to match up to $3,000 for the purchase of needed rainwater collection systems. This is a vital and precious need that supports our ministry and we are fervent about the possibilities. Our goal is to raise at least $6,000 to help sustain the school’s water needs that have exceeded the water well capacity. Water collection systems help provide cleaning, cooking, and toiletry water while the well provides the drinking water. As of today, we have raised________________ for this cause.
Endless Gratitude for Amazing Support
Our well-regarded partners and many others who have connected with us as a ministry have offered so much amazing support. We could not do this without you and are forever grateful for our beloved family and friends. The child sponsorship program in Uganda continues to provide the needed financial support to children who would struggle to attend school. At the end of 2019, our end of the year Student Dedication for those passing on to higher levels was held with the theme of “Preparation is Key.”
Shepherding the Flock of Believers
Reaching Youth and Blessing Mankind
We also recently held a highly successful Youth Conference with over 700 young people gathering at the Bukeeka Church. It is truly a blessing to be able to minister to so many young Christians and those looking for Christ. Clearly our ministry is making an impact.
Lastly, our school construction project continues as we build boarding houses and school classrooms. Construction projects are difficult for us to finance ourselves, so we are deeply grateful for the support provided through GGI and their partners.
A Christmas Celebration in Haiti and Uganda
We celebrate the true meaning of Christmas and the birth of Christ in special ways in both Haiti and Uganda. Our Christmas program in Haiti is a special day for the children and their families. The children prepare for weeks to perform songs and skits, and the parents have the opportunity to hear the story of our Savior’s birth. They sit back as proud parents watching their children! Each child receives a special Christmas gift – for many of them it is their only gift.
Christmas in Uganda is about Jesus and His birth and for many it’s a day to go to church and celebrate. For some of our sponsored children it was a time of joy as they received gifts paid for by generous Christmas gift donations by their sponsors. Mattresses, blankets, school supplies and bags of rice or beans brought smiles to everyone.
Thank you, donors, for making Jesus’ birthday a special day for our children.
Child Sponsorship Story – Ange Berline, Haiti
At GGI, we are disciples of Jesus Christ and strive to share the love of God by living out our faith with those less fortunate. This story is an example of our mission in action.
Like many of the children in GGI’s program, Ange would not have the opportunity to attend school without sponsorship. Through the sponsorship program, children like Ange receive a healthy meal, a quality education, and the opportunity daily to learn about Jesus and His love for them.
During Bible study class while the teacher was teaching, Ange accepted Jesus into her life! She is ready and excited to be baptized and make the declaration of her love for Jesus. She has been coming to church for Sunday school and her family says she is a new person.
Today, Ange dreams of becoming a “great nurse”. It’s because of faithful sponsors like you that she now has hope, is able to dream of the possibilities for her life and came to personally know Jesus! Thank you!
Interested in helping children in need? You can sponsor a specific child with GGI or better yet contribute to our general child fund and help us provide scholarships, meals, and assistance to all of the children in our program.
Thank you GGI sponsors and supporters. You ARE making a difference!
