Gospel Outreach in Uganda
Thanks to a Mission to Children donor, this recent outreach in Uganda gave 140 children with AIDS a colorful day to remember
An AIDS treatment center in Uganda recently hosted a milestone gospel outreach for the children it serves. One Mission to Children supporter enabled Christians to share God’s love through an outreach event in connection with a Ugandan AIDS treatment center. Led by a local Ugandan pastor, our field partners ministered to 200 people with a meal and a memorable presentation of the gospel message, encouraging the children to trust Christ.
140 of these children were born HIV-positive. 40 of these are double orphans (both parents are deceased).
Children suffering from HIV each received a special package. In their current economic condition, this package represents a very tangible demonstration of God’s love.
Each child received:
- 5 kg of maize flour (a food staple), sugar, and salt
- Soap, a bathing scrubber, washcloth, hand towel, handkerchief, skin lotion, toothbrush, and toothpaste
- Coloring pages and crayons, pencils, a pen, notebook, ball, bracelets, candy, and balloons
Minister to the child, reach the community
The AIDS treatment center director commented that this unique event would be remembered for a long time. They’ve never had anything like this [ministry] before:
“It was a great opportunity for planting the Gospel seed in the hearts of those who came, and that the effects would spread from the families present to the communities!”
