Abaana Ministries: New Exciting Project

 Buganda Road Pitch: sight of Abaana Ministries

KSM latest project about to start

  Calvary Chapala Kampala one of KSM main project here in Kampala have opened the door to starting a second project with a organisation called Abanna Ministries.

Abaana Ministries is a project that is working with street kids in the centre of Kampala.
The leader found out about the sports ministry KSM is doing with Calvary Chapala and ask them to get involved.

Abaana Ministries has 100-200 street children that come to the field every Friday to play football. The children are not like any other children i have met, they are wild and aggressive towards each other yet have a bond together like none i have seen protecting each other against "normal children" as they call it. They come from 3 main slums of Kampala Kisenyi, Kivulu, and Katwe (ClickTo: Picture the Slums in Kampala).  
All being devastatingly poor areas with most children having alcohol and drug addictions, most common is sniffing fuel using hankies which helps the hunger go away and passes them out at night.

I have been down to the project 3 times now just to help the main street kids leader of Abaana HM as the Calvary Chapel team and I plan a way forwards for these children. We want to come in with a solid plan as the children are very wild, a lot of organisation is need for this project to really work.

Even though these children have little in there lives & come to the field with bare feet and ripped up clothes they still smile and laugh like the beautiful children they are. I am so excited about working with Abaana and Calvary chapel to progress this project to the level that we are transforming the children’s lives. Please pray for the team as we work hard to see the best way forwards.

St Steven's Kisugu: King's Sports Ministry Uganda Project

Some Of The Fantastic Leaders Running St Stevens Kisugu KSMU Project

                                                      

St Stevens Kisugu was the first official project of KSM. These kids are from the area surrounding the church, in a large community. They love sports we found them kicking balls or playing catch in ever small area we could find, so it was a exciting project to start. The project started back in May 2009 with around 100 children and 15 leaders. Over the rest of 2009 numbers raised to 150 children fluctuating each week but slowly increasing. Just last Saturday 13th February we kicked off the project for the 2010 season the kids now all back from the village after Christmas. A great turn out for the first week back of 80 kids.

We are very excited for 2010 and know many new faces will come into the project. We pray that it will grow and become a beacon in the community for children to come and learn about Jesus in a fun exciting way. The Next big challenge for the team here is growth. The team numbers are now around 8 with most of the leader in school away from Kampala or have found fulltime jobs which keep them busy on Saturdays. Please pray that we get a fresh crop of leaders ready to jump straight in and bring a refreshing and powerful buzz for all the children. By the end of 2010 we are look to the number of children to be over 200 a challenge we will strive to succeed.

Entebbe & Jinja Travels

Last Monday and Tuesday I set off on the road to Entebbe and Jinja two of my favourite place to go in Uganda. With Entebbe having the largest Lake Victory the largest lake in East Africa and Jinja the Being the source of the river Nile they truly are amazing.

The Purpose of my visits was to find projects that we can start sports ministries with in both districts. Previously we have held trainings in these districts but now we want to work with 2-3 projects to full establish sustainable Ministry in both areas.

  

In Entebbe I was able to reach out to 5 Church’s / Children Organisations

in Entebbe The most promising being Entebbe Full Gospel Child Development

Centre. They are working with over 300 children as part of compassion international project. This would be a massively influential sports ministry project in Entebbe so we look forwards to working

with them.

  In Jinja a further 9 Projects were reached all very promising. Child Restoration Outreach and Mpumudde Methodist Church are two avenue that have been opened to sports together they reach out to over 400 children and both have the resources and facilities to sustain Sports. The future is bright in Entebbe and Jinja
