Maama, thank you so much for asking. ​ I am so happy to share how God answered our prayers. We started our day very early with all of our children, and we stood together in prayer from 8:00 a.m. until 9:30 a.m., putting the whole day into God's hands. After our prayers, we began preparing everything and making sure the house was completely ready. Then, we started waiting for our visitors to arrive. Suddenly, heavy rain started pouring down. Because of the storm, she could not reach us at the exact time we expected, and our hearts were full of worry. We had been waiting and praying so hard, and it felt like we were waiting for a very difficult exam that we could not bypass. Bu...

Thank you for the birthday wishes! Prayers please ... Prayers as we move closer to registering the home as an official NGO orphanage.   We've been working on drafting the Articles of Incorporation over the last few months.   Thankful to "Uncle Fer" and Pastor Eddie for helping mitigate / minimize the attorney fees, leaving "just" the government / filing fees.  If you wish to help with that we guestimate they will be approximately $250.    The benefit to registering is minimal with regards to government assistance; it's more to help James and Team add "legitimacy" when engaging with potential donors there in Uganda.    Pray for God's provision.  Pray that not only essential needs are met, but a time will come sooner then later that the workers, the Team are able to receive a salary.  Prayers for a fiscal sponsor here in the USA.    To date, I am handling personally the donations in a personal account.   If you know of ...

Momo Moments Update August 12, 2025 Written by James (translation and grammar edits by AI) In our darkness, God shone His light!!  Here's our story of God's faithfulness this past 8 weeks: When Sickness Struck ... Viola , the children's spiritual and educational teacher on the Team, fell ill with typhoid and prolonged malaria. We rushed her to the hospital, and the doctor's words were overwhelming. The bills were piling up, and we didn't know how we'd pay them. Christine and the girls' caretaker Olivia also got malaria.     We felt like we were drowning in worries. We were exhausted, emotionally and financially drained. It was a hard moment, and we felt lost and alone. But then, Maama Sue stepped in, reminding us that "Jesus Cares." She prayed with us, and we felt God's peace wash over us. She encouraged us to trust, to read the Bible and pray, and we did. We asked God to show us the way forward, to provide for our needs, and to heal Viola and ...

Meet Dr Steven - A Vital Supporter of the Momo Team We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Steven.   31 years old, married with one child, Dr Stevens is a practicing MD for the past 9 years and is currently pursuing a Masters to specialize in pediatric care.   Dr Steven and James met when James' father was sick and admitted to the hospital he worked at.  Since then, he has maintained a relationship with James as a brother.   When James started to take care of the children Steven saw it as something great and a sign of love and responsibility.  Dr Steven loves to help those in need, and sees the work with the Momo children as a blessing to watch them grow with happiness as they're being equipped to make and do something for themselves. With his deep commitment to service, he’s already helping us work toward meeting the most urgent health needs of the children. He’s: Training James in basic "at home" medical care Helping James and Team recognize wh...

OUR STORY ... FROM THE BEGINNING  This video is “our story - in the beginning” - a window into the everyday life of this FAMILY of orphaned and OVC (Other Vulnerable 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.
