WATOTO PROJECT |
 |
On
Tuesday, May 17, 2011 Calvary Church hosted the Watoto
Children's Choir from Kampala, Uganda. Little did we know how
deeply we would be affected our congregation would be by the
story of the Watoto Mission.
Watoto
Mission was founded in response to the overwhelming numbers of
children orphaned by the African AIDS epidemic. The orphanage
provides physical, medical, emotional, educational, and
spiritual care for hundreds of children. You can read more by
visiting their
website.
Following the concert the Calvary Church
Missions Committee immediately voted to sponsor 3 children at
Watoto. But their vision was even larger. Our goal is to raise
the funds to build a house at the Watoto campus in Uganda that
will be home to 8 orphans and their house mother.
In
the summer of 2013 a mission team of 15 Calvary members
traveled to Uganda to visit Watoto and the team built the
home. Contact Pastor Jeff to hear more about it. |
