Dear Kuyamba Friends,
 
We have some exciting news to share! On October 22, we are heading to Uganda for our first mission trip!  Since we started Kuyamba in 2013, our team in Uganda has held weekly missions in villages, providing medicine, first aid, hygiene supplies, food and more to those in need. The goal of each mission is to help with any physical needs a person may have, and while doing so, build relationships and share the gospel by providing teaching, prayer and the good news of Jesus.
 
We are ready to take the next step! With fundraising and generous support of our ministry, we are ready to purchase land near villages that we serve. During our trip, we will choose a location and begin plans for a building that will serve as a feeding center, STEM school with technology training, a place to worship and bring the community together, as well as a place where we can meet medical needs during mission trips. 
 
We believe God will continue to provide all we need to see this vision come to life. We prayerfully ask for your support in helping us get there. If you are able to support us financially, here are a few ways.

• Make a donation to help with expenses related to our upcoming trip in just 8 weeks! With a trip such as this, there are numerous expenses leading up to our departure date, as well as while we are on the ground in Uganda.     
• Make a one-time donation or sign up to become a monthly partner to support our ongoing missions.  Visit www.kuyambaministries.com and click on the "Donate" button.  You will be taken to the Kuyamba PayPal account where you can donate through your PayPal account or by credit/debit card.

We are so grateful for any support you can provide, whether that be financially or with your prayers. You can be a part of touching the lives of people half way around the world. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions or would like to discuss our vision.  Beginning in 2019, we hope to take a team with us to Uganda to serve each year.  We would love to know if you are interested in joining us in the future.  God Bless You!
 
In His Service,

Taking the next steps on a project that FTC Team TOXIC began, the Amazzi team worked all summer to organize ten sets of Lego Education Kits that would build things like a windmill, a clock, a pulley, and a lever.  This will help the kids in their STEM education in Uganda.  The team also developed an introduction video to introduce themselves and show them how to build the models.  Kuyamba sent luggage full of supplies along with these kits to our team in Gaba, Uganda.  Kits arrived in Uganda on September 1st thanks to help from our friends at Sozo Children.  Thank you also to Play Well Africa for helping transport some items for these kits.  

Team TOXIC Brings Robotics to Uganda!

The robotics team that Tyler is a part of, Team TOXIC, did an outreach to Uganda recently by sending robotics kits to kids in Gaba, to be used in the school.  Team TOXIC plans to grow this outreach over the coming years as they try to bring a beginning STEM education to the kids there. As you can see from the pictures, they are having so much fun with this new experience!  A huge thank you to Team TOXIC for your outreach!    

Parkside Elementary Donates Items!

​3rd Graders at Parkside Elementary School showed generosity by donating and collection items for the children in Uganda.  Dave and I got to go visit with the kids at Parkside, share about the needs in Uganda and answer their great questions.  The students worked on this project as part of their unit on Generosity.  Thank you Parkside!
