Hello friends and supporters! As you know, Christmas is fast approaching. Many Mansions of Christ International-Uganda is planning and preparing (early) for what to do for the kids and members who attend our weekly Saturday Bible Study meetings. Last year, thanks to the generous hearts of our volunteers and supporters, we had a very successful Christmas party with good food and lots of fun! Also we were able to give away kilo's of rice to local families in Mityana and Soroti districts.
We are hoping to have an even greater Christmas party and give away a lot more rice this year! We have around 10-15 children of all ages who have attended Bible Study classes throughout the year. We would LOVE this Christmas to give each of them a small gift and serve a nice meal. They have been so faithful to attend and even memorize Bible scriptures!
Please join with us in prayer and if possible with donations to make this Christmas even better than last year for our kids and families! Right now our co-director Cheryl Derby is in the U.S. until December 3rd, 2014 and can receive financial donations or small toys purchased for the kids and take them back. Please contact us if you're wanting to bless a child this year!
Toy ideas include: books, dolls, small cars and trucks, soccer balls, markers, crayons, pencils, socks, small craft kits..... Older kid ideas: headphones, jewelry, hair accessories, socks, knit hats, pens, pencils, craft kits, playing cards.....
Otherwise, anything can be purchased in Uganda and we gratefully accept Money Gram and Western Union: Receiver info- Stephen Okumu - Mityana, Uganda. For Money Gram will need the reference number, amount and sender name. For Western Union the MTCN number and when you create a question/answer format (required) we will need to know both the question and the answer exactly as written, plus sender name and amount.
Thank you in advance for your blessing to help the children! We will have a great Christmas Party by the grace and love of our Savior and Provider Jesus Christ! God bless you!
