My Mission Trip to Namutamba by Tumwesigye K. Godfrey (Walter)

About my mission trip to Namutamba, on 1st October 2021, Focused Life Ministries. We always have a mission at the end of every year to reach out to children in remote areas to support them with clothes, shoes, food, and sharing the love of God. Very early in the morning, my daughters (Joy 8 years old and Faith 5 years old) and I started our journey deep into the village called Namutamba. As Life Focused Ministry, we believe that God can use us in every way. This village has only two public transport (cars) and you can’t get any in the morning, therefore, we had to use a motorcycle from home to the public transport pack. When we arrived, we found no car to take us to Namutamba village because they were all full and the weather wasn’t good by that time. So, we planned to use another public transport—motorbikes. On our way, the rain started, and we had to hide under the shade. I counted 6 hours from home to the village. When we reached Namutamba, we found everyone waiting for us. There was a lady who led us into prayer and then we cooked rice for the kids, and I got a group of people to arrange the gifts of shoes and clothes that we brought with us. I felt very bad to see that these kids don’t have shoes. They don’t have good clothes, and some are in a poor state of health because they lack good health facilities. Actually, a child passed on a week before we reached there that one makes us cry. The number of children we planned to give gifts to was 60, but we could not imagine that we would receive 90 children instead. As a result, some children who got nothing started crying. Yet, we had nothing remaining. But thank God because we had prepared rice and meat for them, at least they got to eat. After finishing, we had to prepare for our return back home but our coming back wasn’t easy because the roads were slippery from the rain. We left the village at 6 am and reached home at 2 pm! Special thanks go to everyone who has helped us accomplish this mission, may God richly bless you.
