Our Story

OUR STORY ... FROM THE BEGINNING 

This video is “our story”—a window into the everyday life of this FAMILY of orphaned children and their caregivers we lovingly refer to as "Momo Children's Home". 

Prayerfully, it captures what restoration looks like when love shows up consistently, and offers a glimpse into what the children and their caregivers face daily - real needs, real hopes.   

May it stir our hearts to respond, and to remember that opening our hands is sometimes how we most clearly show that Jesus cares.

Who is behind this and why are we doing this? 

Momo Team

James founded Momo Children's Home.   He and the "Momo Team" (Nakalema Viola, Nyombi Julius, Kambugu Fred, Nakayemba Lydia, Namusisi Olivia) are the caretakers, living with the children, providing the hands-on care - to include feeding, housing, educating, spiritual hope and love.   We will be posting more about the Momo Team and children in subsequent posts here in the "Momo Moments" blog.   

Mentor Team ... to "extended family"

I, Sue Ramson and friends Ben, Steffi, Jodianne and Fernando all met James the fall of 2024 in the online Christian community we participate with.  After months of interacting, we all have felt led on a personal level (one human being to another) a strong calling to help our "brothers and sisters" James and the Momo Team (beyond the scope of the online ministry) to raise money for the children's immediate physical needs - food, clothing, housing, safe living conditions, medical.   In addition, we are helping give guidance on registering the orphanage with the Ugandan government, providing spiritual mentoring and discipleship on a regular basis. (Ex. We are conducing virtual "family fellowship/cell group" meetings/ bible studies with the children and adult helpers on Wednesdays, and mentoring one on one.).    Note: This initiative is not a church ministry, it's simply everyday ordinary people from around the world being "the church".   While we are not a part of Momo Children's Home,  "Maama Sue, Uncle Ben, Aunt Steffi, Aunt Jodianne, Uncle Fernando" as they call us are extended family, brothers and sisters in Christ lending a helping hand as the Acts 2 church did. We hope you'll join us.

AfricaMissions (AM) is a 30 year ministry in Africa that trains and equips church leaders.  They are who sent two pastors to vet the legitimacy of James' claims.  (Their report can be viewed HERE.)
