G.I.G.A. God Is Good Africa Update.
It is so sad to be starting this update informing of the terrible events of last Friday evening 16th June, when rebels entered Mpondwe Secondary school in the Kassee district of Uganda near the Congo Border and murdered 17 boys and 20 girls. I am lost for words with man’s inhumanity to man.
The work of GIGA has continued over the past year, where we support students at African Bible University through the Ishbel Mackenzie Memorial Scholarship fund. Also, the ongoing work Supporting Rev Upokie in Bunia Eastern Congo at Trinity Primary school.
At Lighthill Christian Primary school we are building a Primary 7 classroom, library, and computer room. We have taken the building to wall plate level and are now fundraising for roofing and iron sheets.
This year saw us opening Ishbel Amari Clinic in Phadibe Northern Uganda near the South Sudan border. The clinic is in its early stage but is proving in the providence of God to be a wonderful ministry to the sick in this troubled area where medical provision is very hard to reach.
God willing, we will be doing G.I.G.A. Heb Celt Lunches at the M.A. Macleod Hall on the 13th and 14th July 12.00 till 2.00pm. (Volunteers Required).
It’s now 20 years since Ishbel and I were called to Mission in Uganda, and the needs of mission are still so needful in a world riddled with sin.
But we come thanking God for the only plan of salvation through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. Amazing Grace.
Kenny John Mackenzie. Chairman.
Psalm 126. Blessings and Thanksgiving.
