LETTER FROM PASTOR BENARD
Hi everyone there, greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My name is pastor Tumwesige Benard, husband but of one wife and a father of three children (all boys). I am the founder and director of Voice of Hope Outreach Ministries - Uganda and Senior pastor at Bubukwanga Voice of Hope Christian Church. I want to express my thanks towards Missionary COGIC Outreach, a nonprofit organization based in the USA with a heartbeat to help Ugandan orphans. What a blessing when God tugs on your heart to help orphans? Uganda is one of the countries which has faced disasters and wars and one of the impoverished nations especially in Rural areas like the Bundinbugyo district in western Uganda. In 1996, ADF Rebels raged war against the government where millions of homes were displaced in camps, thousands of innocent people killed. In 2010, there was an outbreak of Ebola in the land of Bundibugyo which left many people died including health workers themselves. In 2016, there was tribal conflict between the Bamba-Babwis and Bankonjo where many were displaced and killed. In addition to the above, diseases like HIV/AIDS and SICKLE CELL has finished many people. According to the WHO research its said that Bundibugyo is the most leading area with people living with Sickle cell. Now, when you look at all the above, you will understand the problem of why many children have lost their parents which has caused them to live under difficult circumstances. They hardly get foods that have led many to become weak and thin, they are not going to school and this has made many street kids, they are moving nakedly and barefooted and also die at a premature stage for no good care is given them, why? Many of their guardians cannot afford the necessities of life. How can they take care of children yet they can't look after their real children? Therefore, we have high hope that Missionary COGIC Outreach will be the solution of these orphans since their heartbeat is to help Feed, Clothe and Educate them. The founder of this nonprofit organization, Rena Smith, whom I have known almost a year now, being confident of her experience and her desire and call, will be able to fundraise for the needs of these orphans and every $ will bring a smile on their faces. Rena has been a blessing to my family and a very strong woman who has encouraged me and prayed for my ministry. May the Lord bless you, Rena. We pray God opens the floodgates of heavens and touches hearts to be part of this great vision. Together we can. Pastor Tumwesige Benard - Uganda.
LETTER FROM BISHOP BOB
Rev Rena, I thank you so much for the open heart you have displayed in this vision.
Writing a vision and making it plain To any herald, is so biblical as stated in Habbakuk 2:2
As a Bishop I believe this is one of the accredited responsibilities Jesus left To us while he told Peter To feed the Lambs. ( physical and spiritual children always need To be fed)
Both physical and spiritual food is a necessity To the body soul and spirit.
Stepping up out of many is bring hope To our ministries here in Uganda and whoever will join you in this noble Godly cause, that person and his life will never ever be the same.
I believe many now are finding it possible To trust you the more because it's no longer a hidden ministry but open To all To come in and support.
It's also an answer To those who may have thought the vision was not real.
Its fruits are going To be displayed here time To time.
Job says that I was a father To the fatherless and I made the widows heart To sing for joy. He says I helped out the poor that had none To help.
And exactly this is what you have stepped in To do with us here in Uganda East Africa.
As THRONE OF GRACE CHURCH INTERNATIONAL, p. O.Box 1237. Bundibugyo 256 Uganda.
We are praying every day for you and those who are coming in join and support financially or in materials for needy and orphaned children and needy youth and elderly needy.
Thanks so much know every day that you are an answer To our many years prayers.
Grace and peace
Bishop L G Bob

Clean Water
Deadly Landslides
In December 2019, Bundibugyo Uganda had horrific landslides that killed over 200 residents of this very rural district. Roads leading in and out of the community were flooded with debris and mud. People were lost and scared. The residents were urged to relocate, however, they would not leave their homes.
Mud and Debris Everywhere
The damage was even more devastating than it appeared. Nearly all of the water pipes that lead to the houses and schools were wiped out or destroyed. There was no way of obtaining fresh water now.
Urgently Needed Repairs.
The children now must walk a long distance to the river. This is their everyday routine to collect this dirty, disease-ridden muddy river water. The water must be boiled to be drinkable, but, even then many still get sick. The destroyed pipes need to be replaced from the water source to the schools. You could be the one that gives these children clean, drinkable water.
The Bush Family
Lived In The Bush
Kisiri spent his career in the military. After he got out, he met Rejina and fell in love. They married and had a family of six children. Then, Kisiri became very ill as well as one of the children. He found out he was stricken with HIV/AIDS. They all tested positive. This was their one-room home, in the bush. There was no access to clean water, no food, and no toilet.
Their Crudely Made Bed
They were all sleeping in this same bed. Kisiri and one of the small sons were found very ill and resting in the bed.
This family had lost all hope. Missionary COGIC Outreach was able to find, fund, and empower this family in need.
The Solution
Brenda, in the red, is the oldest child at 17 years old and is the least sick. Brenda has been empowered. She came to stay at Winner School and is doing very well. She wants to become a nurse. It is planned to empower Rejina with a small business, so she can help provide for the family. The challenge right now is obtaining a small piece of land, so that a small house can be built for them. This family is well on their way to living a normal life. Sponsors are needed for the other four school-aged children.
