After a long time, our dreams are coming true! Rafiki has been blessed to have purchased 5 acres of beautiful land for Rafiki’s Children’s Village in Kakiri, Dambwe, Wakiso, District, Uganda. With the new land comes the hopes and dreams for the new future of Rafiki Africa Ministries.

Currently we have people working on building the entrance/gate and getting the perimeter fence set up. We are all really excited for the great things God has in store for Rafiki as new changes come! We serve a great and mighty God!

 

 

Creating the new home for Rafiki Africa Ministries will require many projects! This new land will allow us to grow and impact more children’s lives through building a school and medical clinic, homes for the children and staff as well as allowing us to do sustainable farming, raise animals and drill wells – playing an important role in the community!

 

Along with all that… there are many different fruit trees established on the property which will help greatly in food provision!

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus ~Philippians 4:19

  
We are also excited about these old pigpens on the land that we have plans for turning into chicken coops, which will go a long way into helping Rafiki to be self-sustainable.

I cannot express how grateful I am to have the opportunity to serve here in Uganda among my brothers and sister in Christ. I am excited to be a part of the very beginning of the new place! After being here for only a short time I have fallen in love with Uganda and have plans to return and serve with Rafiki again in the near future! I am so excited that God allowed me to join on mission with Him. Uganda has become part of my life and I have dreams of spending much time serving down here. My hope is to be able to join ministry in reaching out to the desperate in the slums of Africa where there is no hope, and spreading the love and gospel of Jesus, expanding the kingdom of Christ. Once I return to America I will be working to get more people on board to support God’s mission in Uganda and hopefully recruiting people to return with me to help with the construction of the new Rafiki Home. ~Kriss Elise 
God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble. Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth trembles and the mountains topple into the depths of the seas, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with its turmoil. There is a river its streams delight the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High. God is within her; she will not be toppled. God will help her when the morning dawns. Nations rage, kingdoms topple; the earth melts when He lifts His voice. The Lord of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. ~Psalm 46:1-7
