Stories of Hope – May 2023

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.”

– Psalm 32:8 ESV

We give thanks for new open doors at the schools Arrows + Hope children attend!  This past month, three secondary schools (high schools) gave permission to the team in Uganda to hold weekly discipleship gatherings.  It is in these circles where children and youth are counseled and encouraged, seeds are planted, and the Holy Spirit moves!  Students who are not part of Arrows + Hope also attend, which opens doors for more children to hear the gospel for the first time.

The Uganda team has also been holding weekly Center Days for the children in Omalara!  These days are filled with fun activities, a shared meal, and time spent in God’s Word.

The updates about the older youth of Arrows + Hope have been so encouraging!  After students graduate from secondary school, they have a waiting period to receive their results from their final testing, which determines if and where they can go to university or vocational school.

While they wait, these youth have been volunteering their time at Center Days to lead the younger children of Arrows + Hope in worship, prayer, study of God’s word, and games.  Pictured below (on the right) is Anthony leading the youth in worship!


God is at work!

Below are a few testimonies of how God is changing the stories of the youth of Arrows + Hope.  These young people know who they are in Christ.  Because of this and the education they have received, they will be lights in Uganda wherever it is they go!

Michael Ekurie is pictured here writing out his testimony at the Arrows + Hope office.  He thanks God for enabling him to pass with great results, which will allow him to continue his education in the field of nursing.  He shared that he appreciates the prayers of the US team and His sponsors for him.  Michael expressed his heartfelt joy to his sponsors, US directors, and Arrows + Hope for being a blessing to his life and family, for putting a smile on his face and on others as well.
Isaac has recently graduated from driving school and will be continuing his education in driving so that he can drive larger vehicles, such as construction equipment.  He now has skills in mechanics and driving, which we pray will one day open doors of employment for him!
Betty, pictured above, is doing an apprenticeship in tailoring!  Look at the beautiful dress she recently made!
Sarah is continuing her education in agricultural studies.  She took what she learned from her first couple years at school, with some support from her sponsor, and started a piggery.  As a young single mother, this has helped to support her and her little one!
