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.
