Uganda Orphanage Support

Hello Everyone,

We want to extend a big THANK YOU to all of you who have helped us over the years with support for Restore Hope Orphanage in Kampala, Uganda which was being led by Nsimbe Simon.  He has done amazing work supporting 45 orphans and several workers over the years.

When I first met Simon he took me to their rental property which was a tiny house filled wall-to-wall with bunk beds to house the 45 kids.  There was no room to live in the house – only room to sleep.

He shared his vision with me:  “I would like to get some property and build a nice big house for the kids.  I would love to have a water well nearby, room for farming, room for raising animals, and some day even build a school for the kids.” 

That’s a wonderful vision so we prayed about it.  A short time later, God opened the flood gates and started fulfilling the dream.  Six acres of land were purchased.  A 3600 square foot house was built which was 4x larger than the rental house.  A water well was on the property, plus there was electricity.  There was room for farming, a soccer field, and an eating pavilion.  The children were raised up from struggling to have 1-2 meals a day, to consistently having 3 meals every day, never lacking food, clothes, or anything needed.  God is good!  Not only that, these children who were once looked down upon became the ‘cool kids.’  The new orphanage became the place for all the neighborhood kids to come and play, or eat, or get clothes or shoes if they needed it.  What a huge turnaround!  God delivered them from their trouble and honored them just as Psalms 91 teaches.  Thank you, Father, in the name of Jesus!

Sadly, I must tell you that our beloved friend and orphanage director, Nsimbe Simon, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 31 years old on September 4, 2020.  He was an amazing friend, a mighty son of God, and someone who was constantly busy doing the will of God in caring for these children.  We are going to continue forward with Restore Hope Orphanage and are presently seeking another amazing director.  Please pray about this.

We have several things at hand right now that we would greatly appreciate your support with.  We have nearly finished construction of the 2nd dormitory – there is some flooring and finishing work that needs to be completed.
