Love for a Community
Written by Addelyn Wachter after taking part in ECM's vision trip to Uganda, August, 2022.
Driving up in a van to the St. Paul primary school in Naigobya, very few kids are in the classrooms learning or are outside on the grass playing. Instead, several kids from the school and around the community and teachers from the school are gathered under a pavilion behind the school for Saturday Bible Club.

Every Child Ministries' coordinator for the Naigobya Hope Center, Simon Mugulusi, starts to get the children’s attention, getting them ready for the story of Samson from the Bible. Mugulusi has served in Naigobya for the last ten years. He said that the St. Paul school structure has impacted the people of Naigobya greatly.

“That was a need in this community,” Mugulusi said. “They didn’t have any school. They just had a funny structure, but ECM had a plan to construct this beautiful school." Mugulusi said that ECM has given him motivation to continue serving, but he also gains his motivation from the people of the community. “The community itself is a good community, that’s why I have served here ten years,” Mugulusi said. “They love me and I love them.”

ECM held an All Country Conference in Jinja, Uganda January 13 - 17, 2023. Mark and Stacy Luckey flew in from the US and ECM staff flew in from Ghana and Congo to be there. The conference was a huge success! Staff and missionaries got to know each other better (some staff had never met each other!) and had a fun time bonding over games and strategy sessions. Leaders and staff were prayed over. Everyone came away with a renewed passion to continue helping children and families in the name of Jesus!
  • Pray for the family of Olivia in Ghana.  Olivia was a 13 year old sponsored child in Ghana that passed away on Christmas Eve.  Pray for the family for answers as they grieve. 
  • Pray for Caroline, who will be be traveling back to Kenya January 22nd - 24th for a follow up appointment on her first surgery, and possibly getting information about a next surgery.  Pray that the doctor would be pleased with the healing that has taken place, and that next steps in the process would be clear.
