Momo Moments

  My name is Ekaete Moses and I learned about Momo’s Children's Home through Sue and Jodianne on the Chasing Christ server in mid-2025. When I was first invited to the worship meeting, I saw adorable children from the youngest to the oldest with their hands lifted, often with their eyes closed, singing their hearts out to God. It was genuine worship that wasn’t concerned about who was watching them. I loved when some of the children would share a passage from the Bible and expound on it, revealing how they understood the scriptures in the context of their lives. My favorite was when the children would perform plays based on the different parables of Jesus from the gospels. Over the several months that I’ve worshipped with them and prayed with them. I saw when they were sick with malaria (Many of us take things like being able to get prescriptions or over the counter medications with ease for granted) and then updates when they were healed or when they were running out of food and w...

 Meet the Children (part 3) Akankwasa Calvin Atongire Carlos Calvin and Carlos were brought to MCH by their mother Olivia after she experienced domestic violence from their father.  Calvin's father was abusive and drunk everyday and he failed to care for Calvin, Carlos and their siblings Michelle and Cryton.   Olivia is James' biological sister and MCH's House Parent - Girls.     ( Read more about Olivia and her children's story here) . Hassan Wasswa Mulumba Namakula Rahuma Rahuma and Hassan's father was a hard working man who was a boda boda rider - a common type of motorcycle or bicycle taxi.   One day in September, their father went to work but he never came back.

A Prayer of Thanks for Our Supporters God Provided! From James, Team and the children To the people who prayed and sent money when we had literally nothing left: THANK YOU! We wanted to share this moment of gratitude with you. Your support has put food on our table, restocked our bare shelves, and hope in our hearts. Praise God! Your love is a blessing we will never take for granted.

 Meet the Children (part 2) Claire was placed under the care of MCH when her father (who is also James' father) passed away.  (Note: James' father had 5 wives).   One day Claire's mother separated from her father and her father began to  care for she and her siblings Lillian, Joseline and Ronald.  Before her father passed away, he requested that James take care of them, and James promised to do his best. His father passed away soon after. James started to care for Claire and her siblings Ronald, Joseline and Lillian despite having nothing, surviving on a single meal from their garden. To this day, their biological mother has never been found. She was an alcoholic. James' mother has been their guardian and a mother figure to them.

🔥 Fiery Faith 🔥 a powerful morning of preaching and prayer There is nothing quite like the sound of our children in prayer.  We gathered today with the children and Momo Team to lift up our voices in prayer and listen to an incredible message from Patience.   Watch the video to see the joy and faith in action! Please continue to keep the children and Momo team in prayer.

 Meet the Children (part 1) We are providing these short profiles to you, our Supporters to meet the children to get to know how your prayers and financial support are helping change lives.   Please do not share the children's profiles publicly.    We ask you to continue praying for a USA based "fiscal sponsor", for essential needs (food, clothing, housing and medical), and ability to meet the bedding and housing requirements for NGO status.    In addition, pray for their education and skills training.   They "yearn" to go to school!!   To send the children to the local school however costs $5200 per term, so for now they must continue to be home schooled.   Pray for basic supplies (paper, pens, books, etc) as well as curriculum and people to adequately teach.     Patience 16 years old Patience faced significant loss at a very young age, losing her father to natural causes when she was only two years old.

A Surprise That Overflowed With Love By "maama Sue" This week’s Virtual Family Gathering (aka Cell Group) on Wednesday, August 13 became a moment I’ll carry for a lifetime.  I thought today we would be our usual weekly Virtual Family Gathering (i.e. Cell Group).  Every Wednesday Jodianne, Steffi, Ben and myself meet with James, Team and the children for a time of encouragement, song, prayer, scripture and teaching.  Today, however, the children prepared a tremendous surprise - one that left me humbled, tearful, and deeply grateful. One by one, they stepped forward holding handmade birthday cards. Each child had written their own words of appreciation and then read them aloud to me. Their voices were steady yet full of emotion.  (And, how wonderful to see their English improving so much!!) Some said words I will never forget: “I don’t have anything to give you, but I want to tell you how much I appreciate...

The Power of Praise and Worship Every day, the Momo family gathers together for praise and worship, lifting their voices to sing songs of thanksgiving and worship. On Wednesdays we, the "Mentor Team" get to witness their praise fill the atmosphere, and it’s hard not to feel moved by the energy and sincerity with which they thank God for what they have—often little in material terms but rich in spirit.  The Power of Praise in the Face of Adversity The daily practice of thanksgiving, praise and worship isn't just a routine; their joy is a testimony to the power of faith. For many of us, it's easy to lose sight of gratitude when life feels difficult, but these precious children are being taught by James, Viola and the Momo Team of caregivers to have different perspective. They are learning (a lot quicker then many of us Westerners) that no matter the circumstances, there is always something to be thankful for, and that gratitude itself is a form of strength. These chil...

Virtual Family Gathering "They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer...” “...And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:42 On Wednesdays at 10am CT we have a "virtual" family gathering (aka church). We're learning to put into practice how the early church did life together as they gathered together ... Teaching : Anchored in the apostles’ instruction, rooted in Christ’s resurrection and the Scriptures Fellowship (koinōnia) : Deep relational connection, not just social interaction Breaking of Bread : Likely both communion and shared meals Prayer : Corporate and personal, Spirit-led intercession Generosity : Selling possessions to meet needs (Acts 2:45) Unity : “All the believers were together and had everything in common” (Acts 2:44) Joy and Worship : “Glad and sincere hearts, praising God” (Acts 2:46–47) Praying for Uncle James Worshiping Jesus Receiving their Bibles!  ...

Finding Family.   A Life Changing Experience by "Aunt Jodianne"  After looking over the vetting report from Africa Missions and seeing this is real, the Holy Spirit placed a heaviness on my heart all evening long. I remember I kept looking at the children ...  the outside latrine the dirt floor in which they had to eat the scarce bit of food that they had  They also had to sleep on that dirt floor as they have no "real" beds. I remember noticing that many had no shoes on their tiny feet.  Well, needless to say The Holy Spirit did not let me rest that evening.  The next day I remember messaging Sue, the leader of our Mentoring Team who has been working tirelessly for these precious children & the whole caregiver team. Sue has been discipling James since October of 2024.  I expressed to her that The Holy Spirit placed this family heavily upon my heart. A few days later I received a message from Sue asking me if I would like to join her and...

A Six Week Miracle! Food ... New shoes and clothes ... New Home ... From Open Pit Toilets to Indoor Toilets ... New hope ... and a big thank you!  

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.
