It's been soooo long that when I type in my blog's webpage, I have to type in the whole thing as it isn't being recognised after the first few letters.... oops.... hahaha

Anyways.... although I know that nobody is following my blog any longer with posts being non-existent sporadic,
today, I feel compelled to write - just for the record - and to give HUGE credit to God for the random person who might read this in the future.

When Praise was 24 (a mere 8 years ago), single, with 10 needy children by her side, and in a really tough place, this was her vision-statement, sent to me by somebody via email after my first Uganda-trip.
I hadn't even met her yet.

"At the moment, I am praying for my own land so that we may build a home there and have sufficient space to grow food to feed all the children, and even help more children. I have a vision of building a school for abandoned, orphaned and disadvantaged children and spreading the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Her story, as it was shared with me via email, see full blog post here, gripped my heart before ever meeting her in person. Isn't that crazy to begin with? And then our family went fundraising throughout the USA to find support for Praise and her children. The fundraising was pretty much a disaster, but that was okay. God had other plans.
As of 2018, I would say that Praise's vision has come full circle.
Yes, we still need to renovate the very first (badly-built) building she put on the land to increase our capacity for taking in boarding students (to generate income for the school)
build more teacher housing
and get more land to feed everybody.
But here is the school (still believing God for a playground and soccer field)
The preschool/kindergarten
Thanks to our amazing friends and supporters from around the world, the lives of 400 mostly very disadvantaged/vulnerable children are getting transformed through education and the Gospel.

We have been donated 7 acres of land for food production
and yes, the kids are working the fields whenever possible.
Here some of them hiding from a rain-shower.
Praise and her (since 2014) hubby Moses, who are now caring for 40 children
have done numerous evangelistic outreaches
planted two churches

And lastly but most definitely not leastly
here is a short video of the home that God has provided!
Can I hear a shout of THANKS TO GOD?!!!
See you do a dancing gig?!!
Praise, Moses and the children have done just that!
At the moment, Praise isn't dancing much, though,
actually not at all
since she is heavily pregnant and about to receive the most incredible miracle-gift from God:
TWINS!
YIPPEEE YAY!
The most desired, longed for, awaited, prayed for miracle!
And not just one baby but two!
Just like what God would do!
