July 7th, 2008
An outreach ministry of St. Michael's Church, Orlando, to the Clergy and children of the Anglican Diocese of Bugnada in Uganda in East Africa.
As our departure date approaches, we would like to thank all of the people and orginizations that have so generously donated to our mission. We have received many instruments and donations. Because of the overwhelming generosity, we have been able to order hundreds of recorders and kazoos to give to the children. We are now equiped with enough guitars to train the music leaders, and supply the schools and churches an instrument of their own to lead their music program.
Follow the link to: Christian Rural Ministries, where you can see both the location that the mission will be taking place and find more information about Reverend Semanda's church and homeland.
How can you help?
* Pray! We need your prayers! Keep the ministry team in your prayers as they raise money to cover their expenses and then do the actual ministry in July, 2008.
*We need help with shipping! Thanks to the many generous donations we have acheived our goal of raising the funds and instruments needed to travel to Uganda. Now our last task is to get the instuments shipped to Uganda. We are looking to raise more funds and welcome any information that anyone may have regarding overseas transport.
