Advocating For Wera CarePoint
Partners and Friends,
You are most welcome! Ituritete Edekee — “Praise the Lord.” In Philippians, Paul writes, “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:3-6
The word Paul uses for “partnership” is the Greek word koinónia. It refers to a deep, intimate fellowship and communal participation among believers, united by their shared relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It encompasses the idea of sharing in spiritual blessings, mutual support, and active partnership in the faith. It’s in this spirit that we warmly welcome you as our “Partners” — those who have stood with us since the early days in 2011/2012, those who have joined us along the way, those called to the mission field, and those seeking the Lord’s guidance for their next steps in life.
Our Why
Do you know your why? For Lori and me, our journey to understanding why we do what we do might have looked different, but at the heart of it all is this truth:
“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.” — 2 Corinthians 5:14-15
This why is what led us to connect with Children’s HopeChest and the people of Wera, Uganda. It is the foundation of our deep, intimate fellowship and our shared journey with this incredible organization. The relationships we’ve built around Jesus have allowed us to witness firsthand the transformation that occurs in both the individuals who partner with HopeChest and the broader mission of the organization itself. See photos below of some of our treasured moments.
How You Can Partner With Us
Become a CarePoint Champion: Empower the Wera Community to Thrive
For just $45 a month, you can help Wera CarePoint reach a place of graduation—when it becomes self-sustaining and no longer needs financial assistance from Children’s HopeChest. Your support is crucial in ensuring that children and their community thrive in every aspect of life.
Give to the Goat Rearing Project
The Goat Rearing Project aims to raise income for CarePoint sustainability as we progress towards our goals. The project will be one CHC will leave for the CBO (Community Based Organization) to manage and generate income for running programs. Local female goats will be procured, and hybrid he-goats will be produced to produce better breeds that will fetch higher incomes when sold on the local market. As the number of goats accumulates, the management of the CBO will sell some to generate income for running costs.
