We just received the October newsletter from Pastors Williams and Peruth Beshiisha in Uganda.
According to the newsletter, “the vision of Grace Children’s Home was founded in 2008, when Peruth Beshiisha was stage three with cervical cancer and declared cancer free with the help of friends, who neglected her not of her colour and condition she was in. That birthed a dream to help the children who had no hope and kept flocking in her trash cans to look for leftovers as food to feed on because they had no homes to stay in because their parents died as a result of AIDS and civil wars. This was one of the ways she could give back to God and those who stood with her.”
How God has tranformed these children! In the months since the creation of Grace Children’s Home, this is what your giving and the Beshiishas’ faith have helped accomplish:
- the name of the home changed from Grace Orphanage to Grace Children’s Home, as these children are no longer fatherless but part of a family
- a birthday celebration for all of the children, which gives them the feel of a real home full of love and care
- the orphanage as been built and finished – with plaster inside and out, paint, and fixed ceilings
- the children spent their break from school playing with the toys and balls that the missionaries brought
- all children are performing well in school and are now able to read and speak English
- the children are being fed every day, although the country has been experiencing a food shortage
The Beshiishas and their children are believing God for their needs:
- beds for the children’s home (since their mattresses are on the floor)
- furniture for the living room
- sponsors for children who still need support
Remember that you can make a difference in a child’s life by sponsoring him or her with $30 per month for school fees or $50 per month, which will proovide the feeling of home and three meals a day, as well as medication. A contribution of $80 per month will take care of all the child’s needs.
A word from director Peruth Beshiisha:
“I greet you in the name of Jesus and I am very grateful of your love and releasing the power of God that’s in you to manifest down in Africa as to make a difference in our young generation.
Thank you so much for your financial support, love, and prayer. The book of Nehemiah speaks of Nehemiah having a dream and it was through teamwork that the dream came true. Nothing could have been accomplished without your help.
The work is not yet done. We ought to encourage ourselves to stretch more and accomplish what the Lord wants us to do in these last days. And we always pray for you that all you have rendered to extend God’s kingdom in the young generation, God will multiply.”
Bless you,
Peruth Beshiisha, Director
