Sewing skills at Home of Love

Our older girls were thrilled to getting sewing lessons during August school holiday - they sewed aprons and enjoy working on the aprons even on weekends as they improve their sewing skills!

Orphan Care

We're spending a lot of time as a team thinking through orphan care... There are very few true orphans and even true orphans usually have extended family... How do we equip extended family to care for their own orphans? When is it better for a child to be in a children's home rather than with relatives? When is it best for a child to be adopted into a family? It's all shades of gray since every situation involves humans. But God has commanded us to care for widows and orphans (James 1:27), so let's do it well!

Skills training

Four of our older children at Home of Love took sewing lessons from a tailor on-site this school holiday - they made some beautiful aprons as their first project and are so proud of their accomplishment!

HOL Christmas Camp #3

Camp continues with:

Camp games and songs...

Playing together, especially with the older children, to intentionally disciple them...

And even medical care, while all the children are on-site at Home of Love....

HOL Christmas Camp #2

Pastor Peter is one of our leaders in Gulu.  Although he feels under-qualified to teach children, he took the plunge and is helping to teach some of the twice-a-day Bible lessons during our Christmas Camp.  He did great! We're using the book "the Gospel Story Bible" to connect the dots from Adam to Christ.

Home of Love Christmas Camp

The older girls take turns leading out praise and worship songs in strong, clear voices - praising our God for His sovereign work in our lives!

K3 graduation

This friday is kindergarten graduation - the biggest event in many children's lives!

Home of Love

Home of Love is our key ministry in the North - the children are primarily war-affected children.  Here we are having a celebration - there is much to celebrate in the new life that Jesus gives us!
