UGANDA

This precious girl is one of thousands living in displacement camps here in Gulu, Uganda. The situation here is as desperate as any I have witnessed. AIDS and abuse (physical and sexual) are a part of everyday life for most. We are strategizing with Gary & Marilyn Skinner of Kampala Pentecostal Church / Watoto on how we might be a part of helping to restore hope to these precious ones. If we can save the children, we can turn the next generation around and take what the devil meant for harm and cause glory to come to Jesus.

UGANDA

Unthinkable atrocities that are too graphic to tell have taken place for years here in Northern Uganda. Today we are in the city of Gulu where so many fled for safety. This is the land of the Child Soldiers. Now that there appears to be peace, this town has been left with almost no one not affected by the conflict. With so many hurting, broken and devastated families, there is such a great opportunity for the church to shine. Kampala Pentecostal Church - Gulu / Watoto, who has an incredible work in the capital of Kampala, has just planted a church here with many more plans for the future.

We are limited in what we can share with you due to the sensitivity of the work in this country, but here is a picture of the inside of a typical school where most of these young girls age 7 to 12 will be attending their last year of school before getting married or now have to stay at home because they are considered women and soon to be married. Yemen is almost 100% Muslim and is still very tribal. Most people live in very remote areas.

I am here in Yemen with a friend checking on a medical work that JMM has supported over the last year. As you can see this land is a very remote and needy place. The healthcare here is quite lacking and in many places non-existent. Please pray for the faithful men and women God has sent here to help these precious people.
