Mercy Uganda Update
Mercy Uganda's Second
Annual Fundraising Banquet was a
wonderful success!
We want to thank everyone who
attended, participated in the
banquet, those who decorated,
and hosted tables, as well as
those who took part in the
music, the speakers, and to our
wonderful Covenant Christian
School Upper School students who
spent the evening serving all of
our guests. We enjoyed using
Skype to talk to our team in
Uganda, including Lauren Walker,
Henry Mello, and Gabriel Lobu.
We were blessed with new
sponsorships for children, and
interest in helping us with our
new well project in Karamoja.
We are excited about the work
God is doing in and through
Mercy Uganda and we are thankful
to have so many partners and
prayer warriors for this
ministry.
