Paul’s trip has been busy meeting with churches, Pastors, Bible Study groups and speaking with children at their Missionary Night during Awanas! He had some help with a few alumni team members 😃

We want to thank you for all of your support and for those who hosted Paul this week!

Paul travels back to Uganda on Friday. Please pray for his trip home.

We are planning a team trip for this November! If you are interested, please reach out! 🇺🇬✈️

Behind every shoebox is someone who cared enough to pack it. On the other side of the world is a child discovering generosity and kindness for the first time. Packing a shoebox has the opportunity to change a child's life, and possibly eternity. 🎁
What's your favorite part of packing a box? ⬇️

Yesterday, Emmanuel Bible Baptist Church held a Celebration of Life for Susan Hoffman.

Sue passed away at the beginning of this month. She was a very important member and supporter of Hope and Mercy Mission. The students at Sunrise were having a small service of their own to remember her.

Sue started a sewing project at Sunrise to teach/make uniforms and dresses for the children. She taught the young ladies how to sew their uniforms in hopes that one day they can get an income with their skills.

Sue played music for the children's ministry and offered medical training when needed.

While we grieve with this loss, we are sure that we will see Sue in Heaven one day!

Who said interactive murals are only for children 😃 The adults are having too much fun.

These are a fun addition to the real work that has been taking place this week. Tomorrow during the Faith Bible Graduation, we will present the graduates, families and teachers with the ‘special’ mural.

Thank you, Lacey Crime Art for reminding us to laugh now and then.
