We helped a number of families with food baskets, made Christmas happier for residents of Lisenby Nursing Home, helped with orphans in Uganda through Mercy Uganda and the Good Samaritan Sponsorship Project (Sam Kasule) and contributed to over 8,500 shoe boxes from the Bay County area for Operation Christmas Child.  It is indeed more blessed to give than to receive. Foreign: Generous anonymous donations help families in Uganda.....   Mercy Uganda was blessed with two different anonymous donors whose gifts provided the very things that most of us take for granted.  One donor provided the resources for a well in Karamoja.  As the company that drilled the well hit water they were amazed.  They told our director, Henry Mello that they had been coming up dry on wells until this one.  Not only did this well have water, but an abundance of it such that it will provide clean drinking water for the village of Kokoro, the ability for them to irrigate their crops, and to water their animals.     Another donor who began sponsoring a family of 5 children, found out that they and their grandmother lived in a small one room hut. They also found out that this grandmother had been struggling to provide for the children but lacked the resources to do so.  The donor gave money for a new home to be constructed, and for the grandmother to have a piggery, providing an income for her to provide for the children.  The home is nearly complete and is the talk of the village.     Mercy Uganda would like to thank these donors, and all of you who have prayed for, provided for, and been a part of this ministry.  We thank God for His provision for His children, and look forward to what He will do in 2011. Sewing Machines in India: As you can see from the picture below, some of our Adult Sunday School classes got involved with helping buy sewing machines for a ministry in India.   .
