November 2008 mission to Kenya and Uganda - leaving soon!



African Action assists single parent families and homeless children with accommodation, food, clean drinking water, medical aid and education. Our visiting teams bring instruction regarding hygiene, nutrition, crafts and micro business development. We also develop programs to train pastors and leaders from outlying areas who then return to the village to share with the people in their communities.

Our mission in November 2008 to Africa will include;

Visiting prisons, we are hoping for funds to buy blankets for prisoners who have none and bibles or bible portions. Opening our new Medical clinic for serving the local community. Ministering in local churches and working with youth and widows to teach crafts (doll making and saleable items) at our project in Magere, a village 20kms from the capital city Kampala. The second week of our mission we will be travelling for five hours to the Masindi district where will we will be visiting the poor, families and churches, holding a conference for the leaders and their wives and families, taking medical aid if funds are available.

We will be visiting a school in Bweyale for 500 children rescued from the ‘rebel army’ in Northern Uganda who kidnapped them years before. These children need much help. We hope to inspire and assist them with English tuition, art therapy and games and to share stories and the gospel message in a creative way. We then fly to Kenya and work for two weeks in Mercy Orphanage for forty children who were orphaned or abandoned. Much help is needed there and we will be teaching the children and reaching out to the poor widows and families nearby.

We ask for your prayers and if you are willing to be part of our outreach by donating please contact Jean from the African Action website.
