Church plants and Children's Homes



Yesterday Simon flew the Senior Pastor, Assistant Pastor and photographer from KPC (Kampala Pentecostal Church) up to Gulu (Northern Uganda). They are looking at planting a church in the area. For those that have visited KPC it is quite the experience. There are 2,000 people at each Sunday morning service and there are a total of 4 services. They also have other church plants around the City. Along with churches they also run children's homes. Some of you may have heard of Watoto. You can check out the website to know more. http://www.watoto.com/ You could even book the children's choir to come to your church. It is amazing to watch these children perform and share their stories. A real blessing and eye opener.


It is a great ministry and many children in Uganda have been blessed by it. Please pray for Pastor Skinner and Pastor Komagum as they look into the possibility of opening a Church and childrens homes in Gulu. There are many IDP (Internally Displaced People) camps in the area and so it would be a much needed outreach to a very desperate people.
