Mercy Uganda is a young Christian Non-profit Organization whose goal is to reach out to women, children, and their communities in the beautiful nation of Uganda. Our focus is on community development, health-care, and education. Through serving people and helping to meet their physical needs, we hope to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the one and only solution to their spiritual need.
Hello everyone. This is Lauren Walker writing. I'm one of Mercy Uganda's ministry liaisons, an American living and working in the Pearl of Africa and based in the Kampala-Entebbe area. Among other things, my job includes getting regular updates on students and those with medical needs that Mercy Uganda has found sponsors for. Mercy Uganda has another blog, www.mercyuganda.blogspot.com, where you can read stories about all that's going on in the ministry. We also give regular updates on our Facebook group and our Myspace page (www.myspace.com/mercyuganda).
Recently, though, one of our child sponsors in the United States suggested that we set up a blog specifically having to do with the children we are helping to attend school. Moreover, it should be the sponsors themselves who share with others how God is working in this ministry. The individuals who give to these children--give their money, give their prayers--are an integral part of the work Mercy Uganda is trying to accomplish. We know that their motivation to help these children is the love of Christ. God sent Christ as our Savior, Luke 1 says, because of His "tender mercy." And for those of us who have been shown mercy, it is our duty to do the same for others. Our child sponsors have chosen to show mercy to others by working with our organization, for which we are so grateful.
Here it is, then. I'll be posting updates here regularly, but this is not my blog. This blog belongs to the people who send these children to school. I look forward to reading what they have to share.
