Busota!

Busota is a place north of Jinja close to Kamuli in the southern part of Uganda. The houses on the property are built by Uganda Orphans Fund (UOF) and owned by them. They also own the land and are buying land to cultivate.

They are now in the process of building schools for the children, and are planning on building more houses so that they can take in more orphans. The goal is to take in 240 orphans from all over Uganda. Right now they have 74 children, from 2 till 16 years old. 36 girls, and 38 boys.

I have the privilege of staying with these children over a period of time, together with a friend of mine, Jeff Gazy. We are there helping them with their school work, loving on them, playing with them, getting water with them…… what ever is needed.

They don’t have electricity or running water, but they have LIFE. They are so full of life and are happy kids. I don’t know who is benefiting of this the most, the children or Jeff and I. They are so fun to be around.

Last Sunday Service, after giving the word – the children was asked to come forward if they had any pain or sicknesses. A lot of them came forward, and we prayed and prayed. Many of them got healed, and some was completely well the next day. Yeah God.

The Bible talkes about caring for the widows and orphans, at the home - the widows are talking care of the orphans - by being their mothers. And we have the priviledge of being part of this. Thank you. Lord.
