From Messiah, Weldon Spring to Uganda
Messiah Lutheran Church and School, Weldon Spring, Mo., has a heart for missions. During December the focus was on its ongoing mission in Nakabango, Uganda. The school has participated in the project in many ways. This year, a special effort to collect funds to build a church was conducted. The students participated in this project in several ways:
- Students in grades three to five collected funds to sponsor students at the school for a year. Messiah's students currently sponsor five children.
- More than $300 in chapel offerings were collected to support the ministry efforts in Uganda.
- Families were encouraged to donate funds toward the church project. More than $20,000 in donations have been collected toward the church building.
The team is currently working with the people and exploring the opportunity of building a church.
