Aggie's Baby Home

The spaghetti dinner was a great success. God showed up in such a special way and really exceeded our expectations!

It was so good joining together around a common vision—completing the Uganda baby home, affectionately called, “Aggie’s Baby Home” named for our visionary and friend, Agnes Lubega. It was a huge success in many ways. Pastor Chris was able to share the vision, the victories, as well as the challenges they are facing in completing the baby home. One of the hot topics for discussion was getting the pump house repaired, which would provide fresh water to the property and free the children from having to make a one-mile hike down the hill for the orphanage and baby home’s water supply. Before the conversation went too far, one of the guests, Claudia began to share what God had done in her life through a restored friendship. The high point of the story came when she handed Pastor Chris a check for the $8000 needed to fix the water pump!

We were so moved by Paula’s video slide shows and her stories from Uganda. [We will expound on these in a future post.] We were so concerned about Derrick’s friend whom he had to leave behind on the streets of Kampala. One couple was so moved, they committed to support the boy for a year! He will now be able to join Derrick at the orphanage—one less street kid lost to poverty, abuse, and without a future. In addition to these special surprises, we raised $800.00 from the dinner.

A missionary was born tonight as well. Linda will join Chris and Agnes in two weeks and she will live with them. She was ready to go on another trip and that got canceled, so she seems to have all her ducks in a row already. It seems like she will stay indefinitely to oversee the baby home and be eyes for us.

The highlight of the evening was uniting in prayer for the vision of the Baby Home, the needs of the orphanage and school, praying over the prayer blankets and scarves, and blessing Pastor Chris before he returned to Uganda.

We will do the best we can to keep you updated, but God is doing so much, it’s almost unbelievable! Divine connections keep popping up. Funds are being provided. And God is gathering more of His willing servants to come alongside and help make this vision a reality. Thank you for being a part of what God is doing to rescue the babies of Uganda!
