A BRIGHT SPARK OF HOPE!!

Special Issue: From the Director's Desk. When I took a team of five people at the beginning of 2024, I was simply doing what I love: bringing people alongside me . It’s almost the best way to tell the story of Shalom, because pictures alone don’t do us justice. This time, I want to share about Waswa (not his real name). After only a few days of Waswa’s involvement with the teachers at Shalom Care, I could see a bright spark of enthusiasm. But what came next was truly amazing. After our trip, he sent me a book that became a great encouragement for my work with the community. Here’s a portion of his letter: "‘Children of the Dust Bowl’ is a book I used to teach about the Great Depression of the 1930s. About halfway through the book, Leo Hart is introduced. He realizes that a large segment of his community is not receiving the education and healthcare they deserve. Instead of just complaining, he decides to do something about it. After our trip, I instantly saw you as a present...

“When Faith Builds Foundations: The Shalom Story Continues”

Shalom Care School Construction: Step by Step, by Faith. This week, we joyfully resume construction at Shalom Care School after eight months of what I like to call “accumulating manna.” Yes— manna , God’s gracious provision for His people. Undeserved, yet faithfully supplied through generous donations. Just like the children of Israel in the desert, we have continued to trust God for every single step . We have never once received a large capital donation that could complete an entire building at once. Instead, our journey has been one of steady faith—trusting God to provide, one step at a time. One thing we are sure of: the burden, though heavy, will be lifted by the Lord Himself . The One who owns all the gold, silver, and cattle on a thousand hills knows where the resources are and when to release them. Sometimes He provides in trickles; other times, He pours out blessings abundantly. Our part is to stay ready—to receive, to obey, and to move when He says, “Go.” As we...

Kyambogo University Mission Team: A Blessing to Shalom.

The Harvest is Plentiful! This week, the Shalom Community Project, through the Shalom Community Church, has the joy of welcoming and hosting 70 students from Kyambogo University as part of their annual mission outreach, which will last for 7 days. In Uganda, university Christian Unions play a vital role in nurturing missional passion among young people. Each year, they identify communities where students engage in evangelism, door-to-door visits, discipleship, and public gospel proclamation. These activities are not only deeply rooted in Christian practice across Africa, but they are also key in shaping the next generation of Christian leaders. The energy and commitment we have witnessed in these Kyambogo students are truly inspiring. Their desire to serve, to share Christ, and to learn through hands-on ministry is a blessing to our community. As they interact with our ongoing development efforts at Shalom, they also gain a living picture of an integral mission ...
