April 1st is the day the children at Kabale House of Hope will never forget! It was on this day when all these children first
came to House of Hope. After the news reached them from their hopeless situations, where most of them had no place to call home, no food to eat, no beds or bedding to sleep on and not going to school. They knew God had answered their prayers. They packed their few, old clothes in polythene bags and one by one they entered the gates of Kabale House of Hope. We will never forget the joy on their faces and little John exclaimed, "God has remembered me!"Last week, as they gave praise reports, they recalled all the good things God has done for them and thanked God and all the friends God has used to be a blessing to them. They don't take it for granted that they now have enough to eat, they
have tuition for their schooling and they sleep in good beds with bedding, with support from friends we recently bought for them new mosquito nets.They now know that God has good plans for their future, they have hope and they are looking forward to what the Lord is making out of them. It is amazing how these children have big dreams and are excited that with God all things are possible.
We are so grateful to all our dear friends and partners that support us to raise these children as into godly leaders.
The children were glad for the visit of Pastor Tracy and Mary Wolfe from Modesto CA over the weekend. Their church sponsors 5 children at House of Hope. Those children were so glad to hear from their sponsors and to write back. Pastor Tracy and Mary's church partners with a school in our city and visits here once every year. We had a good time with them on their visit to House of 
Hope. They children sang for them and shared with them exciting stories of what the Lord has done with them. Tracy and Mary were surprised to hear how some of the children would run away from school to school for failing to pay school fees, before they came to House of Hope. Some of them changed school five time! God has done great things for these children!It is amazing how they have grown both spiritually and physically in this short period of time. They have grown bigger and taller.
However as they grow older this came with a challenge of discipling them into godly leaders. And it was so evident that Evas the house mother being single and with little education back ground, she could not cope up with the many challenges to discipline and train these children especially so that i have become so busy and traveling most of them time besides a family and growing ministry to take care of. Plus Evas was over stretched with her family problems and had to be away most of them time to save her late husband's property from relatives mishandling it.So we prayed about another House mother and at the end of last month, God sent to us a more capable lady, Patience Kaija married to Pastor Nathan Kaija. The two have been ministering in another town, Kisoro but they felt a call to come and serve with us. Patience is a qualified teacher with a Diploma and Pastor Nathan has a Diploma in Business administration. God has used this couple in a short period of time to organize the House, discipline the children and help the
children with school work, even little Isaac now is able to speak English.Evas will be helping with other departments in the church after she has settled with her family challenges. We will miss her at House of Hope.
We need prayers and support, we have two more children that are home less and need our help urgently. Support of $50 each for every month will be enough to meet their tuition and additional needs for them to stay at house of hope.
Easter was glorious for all these children, they had good lunch together and rejoiced together in the Lord.
We appreciate all our partner friends that have made it possible for us to take care of these children. May the Lord bless you.
