Christmas giving 2023 & Support During 2024

We  thank  God  for  all  those  who  helped  to  support  this  fundraising  effort  for  the  Early  Learning  School  in  Entebbe,  Uganda.    We  raised  over  $2,020  for  the  Christmas  meal  and  food  staples.     Please  see  the  pictures  below  from  the  2019  Christmas  meal  and  the  day out  to  swim  for  the  kids.      Please  continue  to  support  our  efforts  in  Global  Missions  by  donating  on  our  church web site.      

When Min. Alsandor and his son traveled to Uganda late last year for ministry and training, this place stole their hearts. Early Learning School (ELS) is a school that provides education, training, room, board, and a loving family atmosphere to children from infants to age 18 years, many of which are orphans without outside family support. But at ELS, there are “families” and each child at ELS belongs to one, with other students working as brothers and sisters and an adult “Auntie” over each family who cares for them and provides the love and stability that would otherwise be missing in their lives. The amazing mission of ELS is “to educate and groom children who will change the future of [their] nation through love, and who will excel in all areas of their lives.” When Min.

During Min. Alsandor’s last visit to ELS, he asked the headmistress “Mrs. Agnes” if there was anything he or the church could do for the children for Christmas. Mrs. Agnes told him most of the children did not have blankets so it would be a blessing if he could help her get some for them. By the grace of God, upon his return to the U.S. with only 2 weeks to raise the funds, Min. Alsandor was able to launch a campaign to help raise enough funds to buy blankets for over 100 children boarding at the school.  Mrs. Agnes and the children were amazed and blessed by God’s provision and the generosity of people who assisted with the campaign. 

This year Min. Alsandor asked if there might be some toys or gifts he or the church could bless the children with this Christmas, but Mrs. Agnes asked if he could please help with a Christmas meal instead because their food supply has been very low, and run out twice, and she is concerned about the little ones becoming malnourished. With so many things they could have asked for, this request broke our hearts.  Paul Omakada, hosted Min Alsandor during his visit last year and has maintained a relationship with Min. Alsandor to this day. He visits ELS weekly and ministers to the students.
