OOCM PRAYER AND SUPPORT NEWS

Oasis Orphans Care Ministry - Uganda

After Mukulu Jonathan's facebook account was hacked last month and the vast majority of contacts (friends) were deleted it has made communications difficult. If you were a "friend" go to Mukulu Jonathan's page and check at the top. If you were not deleted it will show a "Friends" button as checked. If it doesn't you will have to send a new friend request. 85 of the 250 friends have been recovered so far. If you have shared OOCM related posts it is likely that any of your friends that became friends of Mukulu's page do not know this. Please share this post at least once so people will know. This whole event has of course seriously dented prayer and financial support as well. This post is an attempt to bridge that communications gap.

-- 10/18 There was severe winds recently that blew off the roof of the pit latrine/toilet building with some damage also to the upper walls as well as rain damage. This is a serious sanitation problem for the OOCM ministry center and for the children. Please pray that this will be resolved and repaired/replaced. The estimate is $700 USD.

-- 10/15 There are 4 children of a disabled mother in the village who are in serious condition from an accident with boiling water. They have serious life threatening burn injuries and are in the hospital. Please pray for them and any hospital expenses.

-- 10/07 There are many needs of the children that are lacking (approx $400 USD) for food, educational supplies, etc. Please pray that these needs will be met.

-- A friend of the ministry from Alabama has sent clothes for 40 children. Please pray that they arrive safely.

-- The children's Bunkbed project at the center is well underway with the frames being done. Mattresses are still needed.

Please contact Mukulu Jonathan for further information via facebook chat. (He has messenger on his phone)

Orphans of Uganda - Oasis Orphans Care Ministry

A friend made this video from photos of our ministry in the villages. Please enjoy it. It is about 5 minutes long. Please share it with friends. There is so much that can be done and so little to do it with. If you are interested, there is a "Support" link at the top of the page. God bless you and keep you in the way He would have you go...

Shortfalls, Faith and Enduring

Indeed it is faith, like we have been in hard times these previous few of months, that all we could do was pray for provision and to remain strong to do the work of the ministry. Our Lord has been doing good in every thing going on - not only in me as director but also with staff, the little children and widows with orphans too. - Mukulu Jonathan

Some time ago in the first quarter of this term, we borrowed items and scholastic material on credit for Oasis orphan children. I thank God because things helped out but I failed to make a blog update with pictures at the time when giving out school supplies. Due to great lack (even to the present day) of school materials at Oasis-for kids to complete the term and food needs, we borrowed from others. It is our kindly request from friends who can bless the situation, to help out in this time of trouble by doing what you can for the children and so we can pay back what we owe.

Pictures can say and do more than a thousand words. Orphans and other children in the village were very happy to get these school supplies. Without them they cannot attend school. It is like in a family. The mother can go to a store and charge food and other home items and as it gets to table, the kids can not know it was borrowed, they just feel happiness and rejoice. So it is with the Oasis children. They are happy for the school supplies.

We seek your prayers and if you are able to do something for orphans needs please contact me so we can complete paying back the borrowed credits. Also if you are interested, you can send Bibles, gospel books and kids writing notebooks and any other physical assistance. We also desperately need a laptop computer and ours died quite a while ago.  If you give and support the needy orphans and poor widows surely the Lord blesses your family and open doors for you. Thank you for you continued prayer and support. 

(See our "Support" page above.)

We have posted some pictures of a recent distribution of school supplies for your enjoyment. Please pray for the widows and children.
