I am excited to share more about our outreach to Africa this May! Our team from YWAM will be joining two other teams from New Zealand to partner with Tent Peg Missions on a five week outreach to Uganda and South Sudan, leaving on the 19th of May.
These are a few of the ministries we will partner with Tent Peg Missions to serve in Uganda and The Republic of South Sudan....
House of Aroha - Uganda
House of Aroha is a family home for 23 children located in Jinja. Honor, relationships, healing, family and faith are the foundation the home is built on. Children know who they are, released into their destiny and contribute to something bigger than themselves. Children live in a family environment with mother and father at the House of Aroha and are cared for as a child of God and a valuable and contributing member of the household. Each child has a mentor as part of the Step Up program and is on a journey of developing their strengths and character and finding their place of contribution in their community.
Footsteps- Northern Uganda
Footsteps is a project working with those who have experienced trauma in Northern Uganda as a result of the LRA. We want to see people set free and restored in relationship with God and others and families and communities growing and seeing God's goodness. Individual mentoring and breakthrough prayer with formerly abducted child soldiers and family members affected by the LRA is facilitated by staff members. As relationships and trust is built and Jesus is invited into areas of each ones lives to bring healing and freedom, we see people released into God's good future for them and the communities transformed.
Mulungi church in Namulesa
Outreach in Adwari
Here girls still living on the streets come and receive three hot meals a day, learn to make bread, wash their clothes, bathe, study, are enrolled in local schools and are blossoming. Many have transitioned from there to our Yei Children’s Village and are now thriving in our Yei family.
