Anna, and her team have begun praying and prepping
for the return trip to Uganda in August 2017.
pictured below is her out going update/support letter.
If you did not receive one and would like us to send you a copy,
please message us and we would love to share details...
Strategic Planning has already begun.
the ministries of SOHI have expanded to 4 sites
each village/city has it's own unique culture & need.
It is within the scope of the Summer Team to visit all 4 locations;
Kampala is the Capital & acts as the base camp for SOHI
Masaka is where we held the Youth Conference last January
and the sight of most of the sponsored women from
Faithbridge, (our home church).
Matugga (Northern Suburbs of Kampala, I believe is a SOHI site
made up of women who were refugees of a ministry that was
no longer able to sustain itself - So SOHI absorbed Matugga under SOHI.
Gulu has garnered particular attention thru SOHI's parent ministry,
HOPE ALIVE - they have been developing a new school there for
the children of their ministry and SOHI has been giving attention to the
women/moms/sisters of those connected with HOPE ALIVE.
I probably need to be fact-checked by Anna - but in general
this is our current understanding of these 4 SOHI sites.
Pictured above: Hope Alive Sites - with Sister ministries of SOHI
A Small Advocacy Team from Minnesota will be leapfrogging
across the ocean, often times connecting flights in Europe,
then usually into Kigali, Rwanda, before touching down in Kampala, Uganda.
Pray for the team as they strategize, raise funds, and make final preparations.
If you are an ongoing sponsor of one of the ladies in Masaka,
It may be possible that you could send a small care package with the team.
stay tuned for updates...
Our theme 2017 is increased savings and saving with a business purpose
Business Classes - Savings - Village Banking
Baking / Sowing / Selling
Classes Indoor/Outdoor

in their muli-site effort to equip these women with various
skill sets - in order to provide an income for their family,
and learn the counter-cultural discipline of saving funds / village banking.
all while their leadership teams are Discipling them in the Word of God,
devoting themselves to prayer and community,
and operating in full Dependence on God
and an Interdependence on the fellowship of each other.
It is a beautiful ministry - please consider sponsoring or supporting :)
