Water For Life: February 2019

Thank you again for your overwhelming generosity!In December, we asked you to contribute to Water For Life. We needed to raise about $12,000 to install a well and build a church on the Kyangwali Refugee Camp in western Uganda. 
You gave...a lot!

Not only did we raise enough for the well and the church, we raised enough for a second well and two additional latrines. On top of that, we were able to provide food, clothes, bedding, seeds, and farm tools to dozens of families.
The Kyangwali Church, in partnership with a local church in Hoima are implementing a new program. Every family that receives seeds and tools will plant crops. They will bring the first portion of their crops to the church. We have helped the church construct a storage facility.

 

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. Malachi 3:10

The church will then use those offerings to aid families as they arrive at the camp. Often, these families have gone days without food as they make the trek over the mountains from the Congo. The church wants to greet these refugees and immigrants with the love of Jesus and the necessities of life. This is how we represent our God. He is loving. He is our provider. He cares for the sojourner.
Thank you for your generosity. You have helped the churches in Kyangwali and Hoima to engage their missions field.
