Back to Amazing Grace

It's been nearly eight years since I first visited Amazing Grace Children's home in Northern Uganda. Since that time the wars in Southern Sudan and Northern Uganda have all but wrapped up, and the kids are so much older.

Many of you sponsor kids at Amazing Grace, and it's great to see the smiling healthy kids here and reconnect. Nate and I arrived up here on Tuesday, and will be here until next Monday.
The photo below is of a possible new location for Amazing Grace. Through a mixup with a landlord (who's been sharing the current land with the kids and staff) it looks like the whole home will need to be relocated to property that is actually owned by IWASSRU. We are working on this issue, and ask that you would pray with us that we will find a good suitable home for these children.The photo below is of the solar panels in use at the current home. The panels were given by the Lahash community through the banquet fundraiser last year. They usually provide anywhere from 2 to 4 hours of electricity in all of the rooms at night - which is amazing by my standards! The kids now can study by electric light at night which improves their schoolwork.

Please pray for Nate and I as we take some final pictures, meet with staff and committee members, sing and pray and worship with the kids, and hear about the realities on the ground.
Thanks for following our journey!
