The Next Chapter

Missing football at home so I decided to bring a little football love to Uganda. Go Cats!

I am finally back on the ground in Uganda! The men - Stephen, John, and Aba - truly feel like brothers. When we are together I am overwhelmed with a feeling that anything is possible. Their sacrifice, their trust in me, and their wisdom inspire me every day. 

Our mission while I am here in Uganda is diverse. In March and April we had two overarching goals that required our total focus - to launch our ministry and establish a small business (Mary’s Milk) to sustain it. Having accomplished both goals, we are now researching numerous ways to improve our ministry model - a model that uniquely mixes Christian ministry with entrepreneurial enterprise. 

We are exploring the following:

• How to improve operational efficiency at our current Mary’s Milk store
• Opening a second store in Kampala
• Aquaculture and the practicality of its application to rural villages
• Land nearby our current village of Kirombe to build a brick and mortar church
• Specific requirements and barriers to building a small school and orphanage 
• Partnerships with prominent organizations and people in Uganda
• Operating in more rural areas of Uganda

But first...

Before we commit to the above, LOLGMU has committed to volunteering for the Love Kampala Festival organized by Luis Palau Alliance Ministries. Luis Palau is an international Christian evangelist and his son Andrew is following in his footsteps. We are fortunate to be playing an intimate role in the festival, which requires our sole focus and time for the week leading up to the festival and the weekend itself (Sept. 25 & 26). The team is very excited to be apart of this event, as it is an opportunity to market our organization, make new friends and partners, and work with internationally known stars like Jamaican raggae singer Papa San.
