Breaking the cycle of poverty is at the heart of the Karis ministry. It is with great joy, therefore, that I can share with you some successful finishing well stories from 2023.
Following a chance encounter between a local Ugandan lady and Jo Hemming, the Leader at Winchester Vineyard, a plan was hatched for a Ugandan supper evening.
Being together in person is precious. Having not met for the last few years, we at Karis were stirred to gather the church leaders as a small community doing the work of the gospel.
Having felt a strong call from God to Uganda, Becky joined the Summer Camp 2022 team. Her heart was captivated from the start. In April, Becky ran her first half marathon in support of Karis Kids.
Let us rejoice and be glad — at more graduations for Karis families! This month we see pictures of Jude, Kelen and Samual looking smart and rightfully proud.
The rains are back with a vengeance in Kampala and there was a recent outbreak of conjunctivitis. Please pray.
This year’s workshop took place in late January, attended by 132 students from Primary 5 to Senior 6 classes.
This month we celebrate with six graduates: Latifah, John, Denis, Vanessa, Andrew and Amos — just look at their style!
They lack food, clean water, education, and healthcare.
These children fight to survive each day, with no hope that things will change.
