and is working for Mission Link, International, whose Kampala headquarters were re-designed by eMIEA from an old movie theatre. Below is part of the complex used for church services, but Mission Link also has (among other things) a large ministry to African widows (including helping them to start a small business), a work with lepers, pastors' training centers, and medical ministries.
Next on the agenda was the groundbreaking for Amazima's secondary and boarding school, which eMIEA designed and will be overseeing the building of.
Katie Davis Champ, author of the New York Times Bestseller "Kisses from Katie", founded Amazima as a sponsorship ministry to feed and send Ugandan children to school, while teaching them the word of God. Katie came to Uganda to teach kindergarten as a senior in high school, lost her heart to the children, and came back the next year to stay. Katie's philosophy: "I am just doing what God called us to do as children of His - feed His sheep and do unto the least of His people."
Below are some of Katie's 13 adopted children,
and a few of the children the school will benefit. In addition to providing meals for around 1200 children Monday through Friday, Amazima provides medical care, health training, Bible Study, and vocational training for orphaned and vulnerable children.
We ended our time away from Kampala with an awesome hike in Uganda's beautiful rainforest, with monkeys chattering above us.
Uganda - a land of breathtaking views but heartbreaking needs.
