The Faces of Bwerenga

2007-11-09T02:55:00.000-08:00

Bwerenga is the African name of the property where Hope Village will be built. There are some amazing people that have served this area for years, that we would like to introduce you too!

Mange Family

Pastors Ernest and Catherine Mange have been the Senior Pastors of Bwerenga’s church since 1997 when Pastors Wilfred and Deborah left to pastor Reaching Unto Nations Bible Church near Kampala. Pastor Ernest is well respected for his Bible knowledge and love for God’s church, and Pastor Catherine is an incredible intercessor. She leads weekly fasting and intercessor groups. The success and progress, our ministry has experienced has been due, to these faithful prayer partners, in this church.

With true shepherd’s hearts, Ernest and Catherine have adopted all seven of their girls; two of which are physically handicapped.

Annette Mwagi, Aaron Kyeyune and Zituni.

All these children belong to families that work and live on Hope Village property. These two older girls were not in school when we arrived due to the lack of finances for school fees. However, now they both are sponsored by Faith Mason and are back in school continuing their education!

Farridah (8 years), Mariam – (22 years), Mukisah – (10 years) and Eunice Mwangi (3 years). All four of these girls were not in school prior to our arrival. Farridah and Mukisa did the hand washing of the laundry and Mariam works in the garden tending to the vegetation and plantation that provides food for the RUN Bible Institute and MFEA conferences. Thanks to Teresa Walsh, WA for sponsoring Mariam to go to a trade school, Judy Aschenbrener, WA for sponsoring Mukisa’s school fees, Farridah and Eunice’s school fees are paid by Faith Mason; thanks Faith!

Jajja Florence

Jajja Florence is our resident grandmother (and Grandmother to Pastor Sharon Wagar). Left for dead by her family in a hospital, God revived her after 3 months in a coma. Meanwhile, her family sold her personal belongings, along with her home and she found herself with nothing and no one to take her in. RUN Ministries has provided her a home since 1996 and she is the most faithful praying saint.

John Magala

Uncle John is one of our loyal ministry teammates. Since 1965, Uncle John has served in R.U.N.’s ministry in many capacities. He started his service as the assistant to our ministry founders, Pastors Lew and Marion Peterson. His loyalty displayed itself even in the naming of his children, Marion and Peter. As a widower, he’s raised his children in our ministry and they are strongly serving the Lord and the ministry.

Jessica Nalukenge

Jessica is one of six certified teachers at our primary school. As our 3^th grade teacher, Jessica has been a part of RUN Ministries 8 years now. She is faithful to her ministry of teaching, as there are many months she goes without pay.

Harriet

Harriet has been apart of RUN Bible Church since 1998 as our 5th grade teacher. Harriet also manages the financial books for the primary school. It is common in Africa for compensation to include housing. Our Hope Village teachers are amazing women who are truly on the front lines of the community.

Kyeyune Family

Boaz, Faith and Baby Aaron Kyeyune. Both Boaz and Faith serve full time in R.U.N. ministries; Boaz as Pastor Wilfred’s personal assistant and Faith as the Kindergarten teacher at our school. Faith is a sought out teacher in the surrounding community, but she serves faithfully in our school, despite months without compensation. Faith also serves as the English teacher for adult education in our Bwerenga Church ESL program on Wednesday nights.

Livingston Kaumeme

Brother Livingston is a sweet man with the heart and mind of a child. Left behind by family due to his mental handicap, Pastors Ernest and Catherine have provided work for him through R.U.N. ministries. Livingston is faithful to our youth group and is instrumental to grounds maintenance of the twenty acres. Livingston has a big crown waiting for him in heaven!

A Look at the Hope Village Property

2007-09-10T18:10:00.000-07:00

Right outside of Kampala, Uganda, are 20 acres that are soon to host the Hope Village! The property will not only care for 200 orphans, but it will serve as a launching pad for with outreach programs into the community, such as a school, AIDS education programs, youth activities and medical care. As you can see from the pictures, this is a beautiful spot that once developed will be able to host a myriad of development programs that extend the love of God into all of Kampala.

Currently, a school (K-12) already exists on the property to serve the surrounding villages. It will expand to educate the orphans as well. All children in Uganda wear uniforms to school and both boys and girls keep their hair very short.

Also, on the 20 acres currently, is a Bible College which trains 40 new Pastors every year. Equipping them and then returning them to their communities in Uganda and surrounding countries.

But, construction has begun! Some buildings that were already present on the property wrecked by water damage over the years are currently being renovated.

Currently, we are working to raise money for infrastructure. Due to the security environment in Uganda, a wall must be built around the property before construction can begin on the actual Orphanage buildings. Furthermore, ground must be cleared and roads laid throughout the property to allow for easier access.

The Rest of the Hope Village Vision can be built as quickly has money comes in.
