Working with The Shepherd Center to Reach Street Boys

08/15/2011

Where do I begin in describing our trip?

I deeply enjoyed speaking to the youth at the conference at Mbale, Uganda in the East. I had the opportunity to speak to the students about the future of their country and to not get into the same moral pitfalls as the west has done! It was a wonderful trip and it was great working with Godfrey, the missions team coordinator for Juna Amagara!

The Shepherd Center was my major work:

1. We met with the executive board of the Shepherd Center Uganda to meet them for the first time and to talk about strategy for the ministry!

2. We brought bibles, soccer balls, toothpaste, and toothbrushes.

3. We took boys to have their teeth worked on at the clinic!

4. We enjoyed a day of outreach at the local Baptist church! What a great work of God that is happening!

5. We met all the boys from 5 years old to 19 years of age. These boys love Patrick, the leader of the Shepherd Center. These boys have also been taught about God’s plan of salvation. Just like all other people, they need much love and hard work!

6. We loved on them and feed them and shared the love of Christ with them!

7. God allowed a home to come available and we were able to put a down payment on it. Please pray that the remainder of the finances will come in the next 10 days. We may be able to house up to 20 street boys! Please pray hard!

If you are interested in partnering with The Shepherd Center, please contact me or Village Bible Church for more details. God is moving fast and I am excited about it! Praise God! I will see you all soon, God willing!
