Uganda is a nation drowning in poverty, full of hurting people who face struggles every day to merely stay alive. Whether it's walking long distances to find clean water, or struggling to find food for today’s meal, or finding decent shelter to escape the tropical heat and pouring rains, living in Uganda is a struggle that few ever come to know, yet it is a reality for over half of the millions who live within its borders. Not only is life physically hard, but it is spiritually challenging as well. Uganda is lost in its way and can be hard for Christian believers who decline to participate in tribal rituals and sacrifices to the clans’ “gods”. Musumba and his mother Fazira, two native Ugandans, have found these hardships to be an everyday part of life. Both of them are believers and are looked down upon by their clan leaders. They and their household have struggled to live in peace in the village of Wairaka, which is about 4 miles east of Jinja. The village elders do not understand their faith and are very fearful of it. They persecute both Fazira and her family as a result of this fear. Unfortunately, the tension has reached a climax. Fazira, Musumba and their entire household were recently kicked out of their home on tribal land and lost most of their belongings. For years, this family has done much work in Uganda to bring the message of the God of Scripture to Wairaka and other villages. They have coordinated with other believers to bring much-needed medical care and other necessary supplies to the people in those villages. The Iganga District authorities, where many of the villages are located, have commended them multiple times for the impact their ministry is having on the rural villages where they minister. During the government lockdown last summer, they delivered over three tons of food to starving families in those villages. They have helped to build houses for six impoverished families-- widows and abandoned wives, and have plans to help more. Fazira also takes in children and those who can't care for themselves. They would otherwise have been cast out, rejected by their families, or sold into marriage at very young ages. This entire household has suffered because of the village's hostility towards their faith in the God of the Bible. Now, we need your help. We are seeking to build a ministry home for these two amazing individuals and their family. What will building this home do? It will provide safety for the 12 children and others that Fazira has taken in, and it will also enable Fazira to take in more people in need of a loving home. It will provide a safe place for storing supplies and allow safe housing for visitors who come to serve. It will be a safe haven and a center of hope and peace for those who need it. The ministry home is called The Peace of Israel Ministry House. Construction is already underway! The first floor has been largely completed, but we still have much work to do! It's time to plant a flag in the ground in Uganda and awaken the slumbering nation. This is the next step in bringing forth that awakening. We desire to raise $25,000 in order to finish the first floor, fill the home with beds, and also build a security wall around the property to ensure its safety. So join us as we build this home and continue to transform lives! $9,162.57 of $25,000.00 37% Create Your Own Page GIVE NOW Share This Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Already signed up?
