Hello Kuyamba Friends!
It has been an amazing year for Kuyamba! In November 2022 we had our first Medical Mission trip. Our doctors saw 900 people in Wabukwa, where neighboring villages came together for two days. Each person received a medical exam, medicine, vitamins, first aid & hygiene supplies, and more. We also fed about 1,500 people during three feeding events. There was a lot of prayer and a lot of worship, everywhere we went, and it was a beautiful thing to witness and be a part of. We are looking forward to being back in Uganda on October 30! We have new developments to share with you – new work that needs to be done and more lives to impact. We need your help – both in prayer and financially – to continue the call God has placed on us. Every time we are in Uganda, we find ourselves in awe of where God has brought us. We can’t wait to be back in the place where our souls are set on fire! Many of you have heard us talk about Mama Scovia. She is a woman of God in the purest sense and a pillar of faith. She cared for Fiona before we adopted her. Mama Scovia has 37 kids in her home that she cares for. On a late evening last November, our team sat in her living room with all of the kids as they sang for us, prayed for us, and shared testimonies. What a humbling experience that was – the Holy Spirit stirring in our hearts! It became clear that God was calling us to get all of the kids in her home sponsored for school. A few short months later, all of the kids in her home are attending school. Most of the kids now have long-term sponsors committed to seeing them through graduation. We are still looking for sponsors for 6 kids – if you would like to come alongside one of these kids, please let us know. We promise you will be blessed beyond measure! For many years, Kuyamba has been taking LEGO robotics kits for our team to use with the kids in Uganda. We are thrilled to have a new partnership with Fun Bot Labs, from Arlington, Virginia. They have provided us with lots of LEGO robotics kits, as well as support in renting a facility to house Kuyamba Ministries in Gaba, Uganda. This January, our long-dreamed-of afterschool robotics program started. Fun Bot Labs is committed to continuing to support Kuyamba as we provide this unique learning opportunity. We have over 60 kids attending our program. With help from FTC 16501 Squirrel from GEARS, and other donations, we were also able to purchase tables, chairs, a storage cabinet, and a large tent to use in our courtyard. We are also working on a partnership to be able to offer a meal to each of the children who attend. On our land in Wabukwa, we have been building a place for the community to gather and worship. We have a 1,250-square-foot pavilion, latrines, and a large outdoor kitchen that can feed hundreds at a time. Our next addition will be a sports field where the kids can come together and play. We also are praying for support for a well on our land. Aside from this, our team continues its weekly missions each Saturday in villages, where they hand out supplies and share the love of Jesus. We are blessed by a team of forty volunteers who make sure people are being served each week. Thank you to everyone who has supported Kuyamba over the years. If you are new, we would love to have you join us. In fact, we need you to join us as we expand the Kingdom of God in Uganda. We are seeking donors to support our upcoming mission trip, as well as monthly donors to help us sustain our weekly outreaches. A donation of any size is greatly needed and appreciated. You may go to www.KuyambaMinistries.com and click on Donate Now. From there, you will be taken to PayPal where you can set up a monthly gift in any amount. Do you want to know more?

In our first-ever medical camp, our team of US and Ugandan doctors served 900 adults and children. Take a look at the amazing work that was done in these pictures... We had pastors preaching the gospel each day, praying for the people and lifting them up to the Lord. During our first-ever medical mission trip, our team was able to see close to 900 people! We could have never accomplished all we did without our Ugandan team of 40, who served alongside us throughout our trip. Amazing people who love to serve the Lord! We can never say thank you enough! Here is our team prepping for our medical camp days!
The Kuyamba Kitchen in Wabukwa has been built. After collecting donations last Giving Tuesday, we were able to get enough funds following our recent benefit concert. This kitchen will be used for large feedings to accommodate the entire village. Next to be installed is the stove. We will be using this kitchen in just 8 weeks when we are on our medical mission trip!   |
