An update on construction and Meet Uncle Memory

Work continues on the land. UJV is harvesting crops and building homes. Currently two homes have been completed and two more have been mapped out.



Meanwhile, back in Kampala, construction continues at Lighthouse Primary School.


The almost completed washrooms are connected to this sewer system.

Happy children with new desks!

We want you to meet Memory Tomusange. The children call him Uncle Memory. He is choir director, discipleship coordinator and father to the orphans. Memory was developing his musical talents but put his own agenda aside to become involved with the orphans of UJV. He answered God's call and became part of the team that received the children when they were initially rescued from the IDP camps. He cleaned them when they threw up or soiled and wet the beds, he broke up fights, comforted crying children in the night when they awoke screaming, counseled and loved these children into spiritual and emotional health.

Two and a half years later, Memory reports on the choir's current activities.
The UJV choir has now multiplied and given birth to 4 choirs and each choir consists of 16 children. God is challenging us to raise leaders and this is going to give every child an opportunity and their leader/trainers to rise up and bring out their gifting for the work of God which will involve discipleship. The Music & Discipleship Department has an office. Glory be to God. So Uncle Memory is running the Department and working as the Music Director for all the four choirs but each choir has a leader/trainer. Uncle Memory is also working with a specific choir of 16 children. We feel like God wants us to multiply and raise leaders. All these leaders have potential and they are given freedom to come up with their own goals and strategies for their choirs.God is taking UJV choir to another level. Please remember to pray with us and continue to pray for God's strength and passion for this mighty work.

Happy children back in Kampala.

Finally, these stinky fish are a real treat to Ugandans and a little challenging for most foreigners.
