Malaria Outbreak in Uganda



Please take a moment and pray for our Ugandan team in Bukeeka and the Fountain of Hope teachers and students as they are currently experiencing a malaria outbreak in the area.  Over 150 students are currently staying home, one teacher came close to passing away but is doing better, Pastor Robert is also currently sick, and the 7th grade class has been hit hard 2 weeks before their national exam.  On top of this poor weather conditions have hurt many of the families' food crops and they are faced with having to purchase food at increasingly higher prices.

GGI recently distributed 200 mosquito nets but the need is still large.  We thank all of you for your continued support of the work in Uganda and appreciate your prayers and additional giving that you provide.  While we do not have any additional information on our website at this time you can contribute to the Uganda work and designate your donation to mosquito nets or humanitarian outreach via the donation comment section and we will immediate disperse funds to Bukeeka to assist with medicines and food.  Thank you for considering this request.

Together For Adoption Conference 2009



Together For Adoption has posted the audio sermons on their site from this year's conference.  These are some of the sharpest minds on the Gospel's collision with orphan care and adoption.  They are definitely worth a listen...or two.
