What Makes It Great

My church is in partnership with a charity in Uganda.  Through this partnership some great outcomes have been achieved through multiple projects.

I believe these outcomes are so great because the government was not involved.  No push for increased foreign aid would have achieved what my church achieved.

Churches are perfectly placed to take on charities like this.  We can be more direct in our aims, see a specific need and meet that need.  The affect is immediate and heart felt.   Its amazing to here stories of the difference that our relatively small contribution had made.

We are called to love people so it’s a given that all churches should be doing similar projects whether locally or internationally.
