Promise Child Uganda
Promise Child reaches out to children and their families in three separate locations in Northern Uganda.
Midigo, Uganda, is one of the poorest places we have ever seen. Most children cannot go to school, get medical treatment, or even eat more than once a day. Promise Child has come alongside these hurting and broken families to provide relief.
Your support is helping to provide not only the basic needs of these children such as food, clothing, medical treatment, and an education, but most importantly; a hope that does not disappoint through the love of Christ. We are also providing life saving Malaria medication and mosquito nets for the children and their families.
The program in Midigo is overseen by Calvary Chapel Midigo.
Calvary Chapel Midigo has recently opened a nursery and primary school. Many of the children who are attending the school are refugees from Sudan. We have been able to find sponsors for each of the children of Calvary Chapel Midigo nursery and primary school.

In Arua, Promise Child has started a home for street children. Working with the local police department, we have been able to identify children with the greatest needs that are living on the streets of Uganda. We have established separate rehabilitation homes for boys and girls that have caretakers responsible for their education, welfare, and spiritual growth. These children who were once beggars, thieves, prostitutes, and drug addicts are now being renewed into newness of life in Christ.
Yumbe Town is the Islamic headquarters in the district, with 98% of the inhabitants being Muslim. It is one of the most difficult places to preach the gospel. CC Yumbe was planted by Pastor Chris in 2009. It is a small, unassuming church that has persevered through local persecution and is shining brightly for Christ in a difficult area. Currently, there are over 30 disciples of Jesus Christ that are well equipped to reach out to the lost in Yumbe.
What we have seen since the Promise Child program started in the summer of 2008, is that more Muslims are coming to Christ than ever before. By providing for the basic needs of these hurting families, we have shown them tangible love and the Spirit of God is moving like never before in Midigo, Uganda.
