Tanzania, East Africa

In April 2003, The Father's Touch Ministries (FTM) founded a children's home in Igoma Village, just outside the large city of Mwanza situated on the shore of Lake Victoria in Tanzania. Starting with 16 children, the Children's Center quickly grew to care for about 25 resident children and also gave partial support (school fees, etc) for several more. You'll find pictures and stories from some of our visits to Igoma in the mission trip reports we have archived for your convenience. Click here to view the Mission Reports archive.

In the summer of 2006, an exciting ministry was birthed through our friends Stephanie and Dominic Sposeto, with the vision of expanding our Children's Home and helping train and support local businessmen in the establishment of micro-businesses that would help support the children on an ongoing basis. Breath of Heaven Ministries (BOHM) now supports the children in this home and has helped start small local businesses, established a fish pond for food and financial support, as well as financed the digging of two water wells in the area and helped several more children with their school fees. Please visit their website to make donations to help their growing ministry do even more for children in East Africa!

Uganda, East Africa

Our mission teams often visit another wonderful ministry to orphans, located in Kampala, founded by good friends of ours in British Columbia. Uganda Jesus Village [UJV] is home to over 60 orphans rescued from the war-torn northern region of Uganda, and is directed by Luke and Suzanne Jones from Abbotsford, B.C., who sold their house and moved with their four young boys to Kampala in 2006. The incredible transformation of the UJV children is inspiring to many visitors who pass through their compound to bring supplies, toys, and most of all, lots of love to these amazing survivors who now all love Jesus passionately! Several of the older children are becoming very powerful evangelists and FTM is in the process of establishing the Young Evangelist Support (Y.E.S.) fund to help them grow in their gifting and receive solid biblical training in East Africa. You can find out more about this wonderful ministry by visiting their blog at: UJV Blog. If you would like to donate in support of this important outreach to orphans, please click here: UJV Donation. At least 90% of your donation will be forwarded to the UJV account in Kampala, while no more than 10% will be used to help defer the costs of administrating these funds and to grow our Y.E.S. fund for the young evangelists at UJV.
