Blessings Are in Full Bloom

Desiree Jones • November 25, 2020

As we rejoice in our Savior’s resurrection, we give thanks for the opportunity to continue to serve others and promote GGI’s ministry around the world.

Life Skills and Opportunity

Our Sew for Life classes successfully provide life skills and opportunity to adults in Uganda. Our initial classes were held in empty school classrooms but now that school is back in session we have no place for the sewing machines. However, a generous GGI supporter is providing a 1-to-1 matching gift opportunity up to $5,000 to help us raise the funds needed to build a sewing center so our community adults can continue their work. What a blessing!

Uganda Update from Pastor Robert

God has used GGI so many times to answer our prayers. Myself, Sarah, and the new church in Jinja have been in a month of prayer and fasting. Our main prayer request has been church construction and today am so humbled of how God has answered this prayer. (GGI sent money for church construction).

His Unconditional Love and Care for Us

Yesterday the rain went through the whole tent and I looked at how desperate the congregation was when we lifted up our hands to God for help. There are those times when you pray and beginning to ask yourself how is God going to do it. That is the kind of thought I struggled with this last night on my bed and finally left the whole issue to God. Reading your email this morning and the message it contains has really showed me God in a different way. He has reminded me of His word in Mathew 7:7 and “His care for us.”

God’s Continuous Goodness

We recently celebrated God's goodness for one year since the Jinja Church started. Thank you for the pole church construction money you sent last week. We had great attendance showing the potential the Church has to grow and their excitement for a new building. The money is only able to put on the roof but no sides, floor, doors, windows, or bathrooms. Thank you for all your support and thanks to our generous brothers and sisters who have given to the Uganda ministry over the years. May the almighty God bless you all.

Our Uganda Ministry

Our ministry in Uganda includes a 1,000+ student Christian school, multiple churches, Pastor Education, Bible training, and individual outreach efforts. Our newest church in Jinja town has the opportunity to reach thousands of people with your help. Please prayerfully consider giving towards our church construction project.

Child Sponsorship Story – Rebecca and Darly, Jacmel, Haiti

At GGI, we are disciples of Jesus Christ and strive to share the love of God by living out our faith with those less fortunate. This story is an example of our mission in action. Rebecca and Darly are both very “smart girls” according to our school principal, doing well in school. They are in the top of their class, Rebecca in 4th grade, Darly in 3rd grade. In addition to receiving a quality education that will create opportunities for these girls they otherwise would not have, they are spending time daily in Bible study. As a result, they have both made a decision for Christ! The sister’s excitement for Jesus spilled over into their lives at home as well! The school principal says, “I see the girl’s life is changing day to day. Then, the parents accept Jesus as their Savior and they come at the same church as me currently. That’s our final mission!"

Prayer Amidst Tragedy

We know that Rebecca and Darly love Jesus and that love radiated from them so much so that their parents wanted to experience it too. Recently, tragedy struck the girl’s family. Their father was killed when a sand pit he was working in collapsed. While they mourn for his death, they hold fast to the hope of eternal life. They know that even in the midst of hardship, Jesus loves them. GGI has been able to support this family through their tragedy, providing home repairs and showing love and kindness to the mother. These girls continue to work hard in school and enjoy their daily Bible study. Their mother recently expressed her gratitude for GGI. “I am so thankful for the sponsorship of my girls. I am feeling such in peace when they come to school now. I am most grateful!”

Those of us working and volunteering at Grace Giving International spend a lot of time in The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Although many of you may know where DRC is on the map, you may not be aware of the incredible need the people in this country have for basic staples such as food and clothing.

Getting an education is an important step in creating better lives for those less fortunate. In 3rd world countries like Uganda, school is not always easily accessible, or feasible on a daily basis. It is our mission at Grace Giving International to help as many as we can obtain the education they need to help make their futures brighter. Read to learn more.

Whether you are a first-time donor, frequent donor, or beginning to consider giving a donation to Grace Giving International, know that when you do give, your contribution goes to those struggling with extreme poverty and a myriad of unfortunate issues. At GGI, we are making great strides to help many poverty-stricken African populations. And thanks to generous donations from people like you, we can continue to make progress. Right now, over 10% of the global population (over 700 million people) do not have enough food to eat, have limited or no access to safe drinking water, and cannot financially afford to send their children to school. These populations are far more vulnerable to diseases that have already been wiped out in the developed world. Fortunately, when you give to GGI, you help to reduce poverty, help prevent diseases, and contribute to opportunities to build more schools and churches. The following provides a deeper look into how donating to GGI can make a huge difference:
