2010 Update
·
Campsite is ready to host students and groups from
churches for the going deeper camps.
·
We pray for bonding with the groups and successful
training.
·
At Amigos, as a marketing strategy, we are showing movies
every Friday, we pray that these movies will become a tool through which
we can minister to these young people as well.
·
Every last Friday of the month, we will be holding an open
air cinema at the Makerere swimming pool (the university near which
Amigos is located). Again we pray that these movies will impact the
lives of the young people that we aim to meet. We also pray that we get
sponsors and partners with us in this venture. This will be an
opportunity to fundraise for YEA
·
We have begun a school club called
Painted Wordz,
as a tool to promote use of words, art and voice for effective
communication; this will give us an opportunity to mentor young people
in Godly ways and also provide a platform for the young people to
address issues of empowerment and positive living .
·
We also need to keep praying for a good volunteer support
base.
·
For wisdom as we put together a team to write out Bible
studies on homosexuality for church youth groups. Homosexuality is
becoming a major issue in Uganda.
·
For Ian, Collin and Prosper as they travel to Burundi to
train youth workers in four town churches.
·
For the entire team as we plan new projects and draw out
work plans for our work in Masaka, Bushenyi, Mukono and Hoima for 2010
·
For Ian, as he travels and works with church youth groups
and youth leaders in Zimbabwe and for his complicated road trip back to
East Africa.
·
For our old volunteers as they start work else where and
for the new volunteers we have identified as they begin to understand
the vision of YEA
·
For Collin as he starts his new role as a member of the
National Executive Committee of the Bible Study Society of Uganda and
for Ian as he continues his role as a board member of the Uganda Youth
Forum.
·
For the new local board chairperson (Hannington) and his
assistant (Ann Grace) as they start their role as leaders of the YEA
board. |
