Praise God! Our Uganda Children’s Village has grown! On March 16, the children in our full-time residential program received more than two dozen new brothers and sisters.

After months of preparation, twenty-eight Ugandan children have just entered our full-time care, bringing the total number of children to fifty-seven. The children live in six of the seven houses in our Children’s Village. (The seventh house is being used as an on-site administrative office.)

But they wanted to do something more specific on their second trip—what could they share with the Uganda people involved with COTN? When one of the COTN–Uganda staff members found out that the Nelsons had recently done premarital counseling for a young couple, he suggested they bring the same topics to Uganda.

Rose likes to sing and dance. Her sweet, genuine smile gives away the fact that she has many friends. In fact, that’s one of the things she loves most about school: her friends. “And my teachers are good,” she adds. Reading and writing are two subjects that Rose excels in—next year, she’ll be promoted to Primary Class 2. “I want to be a teacher,” the seven-year-old says proudly.

The JESUS film is an incredible tool for ministry. It powerfully and dramatically depicts the life of Christ and his atoning sacrifice on the cross. Children of the Nations’ Uganda staff uses this tool to minister to many of the villages near our ministry center in Lira.
