Northgate Baptist and Food For the Hungry

Northgate Baptist partners with Food For the Hungry and a small village called Marare, in Uganda, to help them become a self sustainable community. From building classrooms, supporting entrepreneurship and leadership skills, to sponsoring children from the community, we hope to help transform Marare to the point where they can help themselves as well as neighbouring communities.

In partnership with FH Canada

Day 9 - Nov 6 - Progress

Today the team started the morning at the FH office for devotions. We are going to miss this part of our day, especially the singing. We then spent the morning shopping in town and then had lunch at the FH office. We then went back to Marare where we split off in groups. There was more Awana where it was time for the girls to play soccer. Jenni worked with the children on the banana leaf cards and completed about 50 cards. We hope to do more tomorrow!
There was another group sewing with Rita and another group making paper jewelry. Bill, Chris, and Diniz worked with 2 more Villiage Savings and Loans groups. They were so eager to learn and share.
We are meeting with more groups tomorrow and then we will put together a summary and come up with a game plan. We moved a few more bricks from the kiln to the construction site. The construction workers are flying and the main foundation walls are nearly completed. They hope to get the ground level completed by tomorrow so they can add rocks and pour concrete for the floors.
Tomorrow we are visiting 3 villages in various stages of partnership with FH: Bufukhula, Nashisa, and Makhai. Thank you for your prayers. The whole team is feeling great. Blessings from Marare.

  1. Members of the Baptist church are encouraged to read the Bible and get their own interpretation of the scriptures. They are expected to follow the instructions and commandments that they read in the Bible. A common belief for followers is in the Second Coming of Christ. According to this belief, Jesus will return to Earth.
