Body & Spirit Missions

In 2010 please help provide funds to educate teenagers and young adults orphaned by war (young adults started with us as war-victim teenagers a few years ago)............

Naume Charity Bangbe (Sudanese Azande) is a fourth-year undergraduate law student at Uganda Christian University (UCU) and is due to graduate in late 2010.  She hopes to begin a JD-MBA program at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA in 2011, so that she will become well-prepared for a career in International Business Law.  Interested mature attorneys could easily band together and sponsor her.  Body & Spirit Missions also sponsors four of her siblings: Jennifer, a UCU student; Naama is a senior 6 A-level high school student who will go to UCU in 2011;  Emmanuel is in primary 7 and will enter Seroma Christian High School in 2011 that is located in Mukono, and Paul still has a few more years remaining in primary school.  The Sudanese Azande are from southwestern Sudan around Yambio and spill across into the Congo, and they are a gentle and gracious people, yet on the shy side among strangers.  Their homelands have been ripped apart by wars perpetrated by Muslim Militia and terrorists supported by the Islamic government in Khartoum. 
 

Kevin Salimo (Ugandan Sebei) comes from a tribe high up in the mountains of Eastern Uganda within the Mount Elgon range.  Self-raised from an  early age until we met him around the Sipi Falls area.  Now he is a student at Seroma Christian High in Mukono, a good student, and loves to run...wow!  He is fast!  We hope and pray that he continues to do well under our guardianship, and then one day those at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, will discover his academic and athletic abilities and his skills.  Perhaps he'll be awarded a scholarship at Baylor University.  He is an exciting student of the Bible, as he finds directions in the Scriptures for his life, which helps him sort through the horrible past of his boyhood years.   Come on brothers and sisters in the Lord in America, let's work to get this young man into higher education to the glory of God.

Ayak Evaline Chol (Sudanese Dinka) has been a Body & Spirit Missions kid for several years.  In December 2009 , she completed high school and is now ready to move into Uganda Christian University later this year (2010).  She is a survivor not only of war's atrocities in South Sudan, but has also survived by the grace of God the horrible disease of African Sleeping Sickness that claims the lives of too many in South Sudan and Northern Uganda every year.  She is a special young woman for whom the Lord has intervened on numerous occasions to keep her alive, and she knows this, and we have been used of the Lord to this extent with her.
