New Youtube Videos Online Now

We are very excited to let you know that we are posting new videos on our Youtube page: www.youtube.com/ShowMercyIntl.  Once you go to Youtube, you can create an account and subscribe to our page there.  You will then receive emails when we add new videos.  We will be adding stories from the teachers, Pastor Prossy as well as people that have attended previous trips.

Some of you may be wondering why you don’t see Mike in more of our videos. Well, we shot most of the video footage on our last trip to Uganda back in September 2007.  He stayed back in Oregon to take care of our kids as well as the office!  You will be seeing him on the videos very soon. 

While in Uganda, our videographer asked me the question, "Why do you do this?".  You can watch what he captured on tape below:

We encourage you to pass these videos on to friends and family.  We are believing 2008 is going to be a year of tremendous opportunities to reach out in LOVE!  We all have a dream inside of us.  My personal dream is to rescue as many children as I can from abuse, neglect, starvation, prostitution, abandonment and on and on.  I can not stand injustice!  My heart beats with passion when I see children that are starving for food or for love!  Something on the inside stands up and says, I CAN AND WILL DO SOMETHING!  Does your heart beat like this?  Together, we have made a huge impact in the village of Gganda, Uganda.  But we have only just begun.  There are many more opportunities to bring hope, love and faith.  We are excited, because as we put our dreams and passions together, we will see some HUGE results. Join with us and help get the word out there.  This is our year.  Will you join with us as we continue to REACH OUT IN LOVE…one child at a time?

Christmas Outreach Pictures

First, I must apologize!  We didn’t not do a very good job of communicating to you all about our Christmas party at Hope nor the opportunity to give toward our Christmas Widow’s Outreach for the Village of Gganda.  We have purposed to communicate better in 2008!  (If think you might be able to help in this area, Email us .  Right now, we have some office volunteers and as we continue to grow, we are finding that we are needing more and more help.  If your passion is to write and create pictures with words, then join with us and help us to get the word out there about the great opportunities that are right before us.)

As I mentioned in our last post, the children at Hope had the opportunity to experience the joy of giving to others for Christmas.  Prossy (our friend and the Overseer of Hope Children’s Home) emailed to tell us how the women in the village were crying as they received gift baskets of simple items like rice, flour, and salt.  They also received some meat!  They knew that someone cared for them too! Thanks again for being a part of that!

Here are a few photos that they emailed to us.  The quality isn’t the best, but if you look close, you can see the huge smiles on our children’s faces, as they are giving the baskets!  It makes my heart leap with joy!

Thanks again for your heart to love the widows and orphans of this world.  It is so true that to the world, you may be one person.  But to one person, you may be the world! 

More posts coming soon.
