Our ministry depends on the prayers of God's people. Please pray for God's guidance, perseverance, protection and provision.
For $20 a month you can sponsor a child who attends Christopher House. The money helps pay the monthly program expenses to run the ministry for all of the children.
In November of 2006, we were able to purchase land. We now have 10 acres in the bush about an hour from the Development Center. It's an incredibly beautiful piece of land which was made possible by the generosity of God's People. We have named it Shiloh, from the time of Joshua, where "the presence of God dwelt in a tent". We have built a kitchen, bathrooms and three cottages so far. Our goal is to have permanent and guest housing, vegetable gardens, and most importantly a tilapia fish farm that will enable us to be at least partially self-sustaining.
Volunteers are always welcome to come help us at Christopher House. We can use the skills, gifts, talents and experience of everyone. Everyone has something they can contribute that would benefit these precious people. If you are interested in serving in either short term or long term ministry in Uganda please click here or contact Shelly by . She can answer any questions you may have and get you started in the process to volunteer. You can also print out the "Questionnaire for Potential Mission Visitors" (adobe file) and send it to Ukiah Bible Church and the pastor will get in contact with you.
There is always the need for financial help. You would be amazed at how much farther your money goes in Uganda. For about $60.00 we feed lunch to 150 people every Saturday! The openhearted generosity of those who have been touched by the need in Uganda continues to overwhelm us. Ukiah Bible Church is our sending agency and takes absolutely nothing from the mission fund for administrating our organization. That lets us put 100% of all donations into Christopher House.
We are working on ways to make it easier for you to contribute. We are hoping that we'll soon be able to offer the use of PayPal or something similar through the website. Currently, Ukiah Bible Church processes all contributions. You can specify where your donation goes, whether it be sponsoring a child, developing Shiloh or going into our general fund. The general fund is used for paying rent, buying food and classroom supplies, savings for future growth, Shelly's living expenses and salaries for our staff.
The need is huge, but the benefits are life changing for us all. If God has laid on your heart to contribute financially, please print and return this form.
