Harvest Hands disciples over 500 children in Rwentanga, Uganda and in November, we were invited to attend the Kinder Garden Graduation ceremony! What a blessing to be a part of the celebration. The teachers and children put on an amazing show for the parents and guests! ...so many talented children! Singing and dancing! To assist the school's development, Harvest Hands donated 10 bags of cement to help finish the school's walls and floors. On behalf of the Harvest Hands leadership trainers, we...
...we started January 6th and we should finish harvesting by Feb 1st. We can't say enough about the benefits of mulching! 1 1/2 years ago when we started, the land lacked nitrogen and the PH balance was off. That first season we averaged 500 kg per acre, and this season will likely hit 1,500 kg per acre. Why have the benefits of mulching been kept a secret for so long! ...the Lord has a reason for everything...and it's up to man to take careful note, and follow his example. Thank you Lord Jesus!
Last week Jonas and Godwin started to meet the Rwentanga Primary School children and at the end of the week,the children were asked if they'd like to accept Jesus...and 106children put their hand up! So this week the children begin the adventure of knowing their God in earnest. Pray that the children know their God's unconditional love and acceptance, and that they share the message of reconciliation with others.
Rwentanga Kid's Camps - in July, we held two, one day kid's camps for a total of 120 children from the surrounding villages. The kids were part of the soccer league's discipleship program, and Harvest Hands brought them together on two successive Saturdays for careful study of God's word to strengthen the children's identity in Jesus and to know the security of their place in God's kingdom. ...in Matthew 9:14, Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children". At the camp the children found a place of unconditional love and acceptance, that was fun and safe. ...at the camps, they learned that Jesus wants them with him and he is able to care for and protect them.
Harvest Hand’s mission is to work with people that are disadvantaged and vulnerable, putting Jesus at the centre of the work, and forming partnerships, programs, projects and small business enterprises which transform local communities to provide for themselves and give witness to God’s love and presence.
