Heart of God in Uganda
You are here : Home Monday, February 08, 2010

Orphaned children, left on the streets to learn how to survive, parents tragically robbed of life as a result of the AIDS epidemic ... children desperate for love, acceptance, and the means to survive.  

Heart of God-Uganda is committed to taking the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Uganda, offering love, encouragement, and nourishment for the body and the soul to Uganda's lost and forgotten.  Our work with Smile Africa Ministries and other indigenous outreaches has taken this ministry to a new level by working to fulfill Christ's command to look after the orphans and widows in their distress (James 1:27).

The Gift of Life

Uganda's Children

Every three seconds poverty kills a child...EVERY THREE SECONDS!  It sounds so unbelievable. Sadly, it's very true. There are reports that this statistic is improving, but the numbers are still very high. The battle against poverty is a long way off. Churches are just beginning to take their role in caring for the children devastated by poverty, injustice and oppression, and many are not sure what to do or how to make a difference. 

Heart of God-Uganda is dedicated to being an advocate for children living in horrific conditions. Our prayers are that you would come along side Heart of God Uganda, to be a voice to those around you about God's heart for the millions of children who are living in poverty. Many times when a parent is sick and dying from AIDS/HIV, the oldest child becomes the parent. They are no longer able to go to school and must care for the dying parent as well as work and take care of the younger siblings. This in most cases is the standard for living in Uganda.

The next consideration deals with the child's education, and if the child should go back to formal education (which is normally the case with younger children and teenagers who were in school at the time of the death of the parents).  With your help Heart of God in Uganda can make a huge impact on the lives of Ugandan children.

God's economy is NOT this world's economy.  When we reach beyond man's logic and give even out of our own need, Jehovah Jireh proves Himself faithful.  Don't let the news media form your opinions of giving so others can live--let the Word of God be your roadmap for life. Click here to read more.

Uganda 2010 Outreach

What began as a single seed planted in a heart committed to prayer and believing God for the impossible, Heart of God in Uganda has grown to impact a nation.  As Executive Director, Denise Matthews has led this ministry through sacrifice, dedication, and faith in God to do what He promised He would do—use those yielded to Him to accomplish His purpose in Uganda today. 

The Uganda 2009 Outreach was a tremendous success to the glory of God.  Since the trip, an amazing flurry of activity has confirmed the need to expand the emphasis of the ministry to Uganda as well as increase the size of the ministry team in order to accomplish our goals.

As the Lord has continued to open doors and reveal the need for a much broader emphasis of ministry, plans are developing to include in the following outreaches: 

Men's Conference:  Teaching Pastors and Christian leaders in the direction of Gods purpose for their roles in the church, in the family, in their community, and in their personal life.

Teacher’s Conference:  Qualified Teachers will be leading workshops and training sessions targeting various topics, giving useful tools for implementing new ideas and proven techniques for successful classroom instruction.

Village Ministry:  Men will accompany local Pastors into villages where the Gospel has not been preached.

Youth Rally:  A day designed to lift up and encourage Uganda’s teens through praise & worship, testimonies, games, food, and fun.

 

Well Digging:  A team of men is needed to help dig a well in a village where no clean water is available and where dysentery frequently robs infants and children of life.

Children’s Ministry:  Taking every opportunity to minister to the children at Smile Africa Ministries and other local groups, showing them the love of Jesus Christ through hands-on ministry to their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Eligibility:  We welcome any believer in Jesus Christ to join the Uganda 2010 Team.  Each team member will be required to obtain both pastoral and personal references.  Teens aged 13-17 are more than welcome as long as a parent or guardian travels with them.  We are looking for men, women, and teens to complete the 2010 Team.

Dates:  The Team will be traveling from June 19th through July 3rd of 2010.  With two days of travel time each way and ten days of ministry, the length of the trip will be fourteen days total.  The dates are firm, so please begin to arrange your personal calendar if you plan to participate in this outreach.

Application and Fees:  Each Uganda 2010 Team Member is required to complete an application and submit it with a non-refundable $50 deposit.  The total fee for the trip is $3500 which includes travel (air and ground), lodging, two meals a day, tips, visa, and bottled water.  All completed applications and fees must be received no later than May 15, 2010.  Please note that your references will be checked.  If you do not have a passport, please apply immediately even if you’re only considering this trip.  The cost for all shots and immunizations are the responsibility of each Team Member; a Yellow Immunization Card is  required for Visa approval.  Trip fee payments may be made by check, money order, or credit card.  Your trip fee is tax deductible.
