Orphans desperately need school funds!

Not all of YCVM's orphans could be sent to school. YCVM has borrowed money to send some of them, but your help is desperately needed to continue their education. Below are some pictures of Board Member Grace Among giving some gifts to the children before they head off to school.

Visitors from Pacific School of Religion, in Berkeley CA

One of YCVM's major supporters is Aeri Lee, who teaches music and worship at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA. In January 2008, a special Immersion Trip was arranged for seminary students at PSR to visit YCVM in Kumi. The YCVM band played, and the visitors met with the Board members and orphans. Praise the Lord for the friendships that have been established worldwide!

More funds need to send the orphans back to school

YCVM funds have run out, and the orphans are unable to return to school this session. Your help is desperatly needed! Aeri Lee recently visited them in January, and is seen here with one of the sponsored children, Helen Atai.

Open Market preaching in Ocapa

YCVM recently did some open market preaching in the Ocapa region. The band also provided some music for the occasion.

Flooding in Kumi

Apparently there has been some flooding in the local communities. I don't have any details other than these pictures. I don't think any of the YCVM buildings were affected.

YCVM band plays at Uganda independence day celebration

Silver sent some pictures of the YCVM band ministering to people at a recent district celebration of Uganda's independence. The band is seen here with Silver leading on the guitar, and the others playing traditional hand-made instruments.

Village house gets a roof

In the last few months, enough donations were received to continue construction of the Ngora village house to the roof level! Doors and windows are still to be added, as resources permit. We thank God for all of the generous people who contributed to this effort. And the YCVM orphans thank you for all of your support!
