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.

FH Staff Shares the Gospel Message
This was our debrief day to spend with the FH staff. We had 2 vans to fit everyone and drove to Wanale... a nearby 'mountain'. The drive up was so interesting... there were homes/villages built all the way up so lots of children to wave to and hear "Muzungu, Hi!!". The area is known for growing "Irish" potatoes. They call regular potatoes "Irish" ... to differentiate them from sweet potatoes, casava, banana (what we would call plantain). All along there were terraced farmer's plots. The view from the top was spectacular... we could see Mbale and Marare far below. We all sat around a large rock and enjoyed a lunch of plain chapatti and pop.
The best part was that Livingstone and one other of the FH staff wandered off because Livingstone felt the Lord was telling him that someone needed to hear the gospel today. They came upon a man, shared with him and he accepted the Lord! The FH staff are such a witness to us!
That evening we took them out for supper as a thank you for all their care for us. We were at the hotel that previous teams have stayed in (Kayegi...sp?). We started out sitting on the patio, but it started to rain and we were getting wet, so moved indoors. We had a lovely time visiting and sharing together. So sad that our time was drawing to a close. One very special day left...
