From Jet Lag to Joy

Uganda Mission 2025 | Anchored International Relief

Today marked our team’s first full day in the village, and even though jet lag was still hanging on, everyone hit the ground running. The spirit of service and determination is already evident in every team member, and it’s been a beautiful thing to witness.

But being here also brings deep emotional challenges. Confronting the reality of poverty is never easy. It’s sobering. Heartbreaking. And yet, it’s in the midst of these hard places that love shines the brightest.

Today, that love looked like serving children at the feeding center — smiling faces, tiny hands, full plates, and grateful hearts. These moments are a powerful reminder that the simple act of showing up can be life-changing.

And then came the miracles.

Baby Suzan

Do you remember baby Suzan? She’s the one in the little sailor suit — now laughing, growing, and full of life. And that sweet girl in the dress? 

Baby Janet

That’s baby Janet — the child we’ve been praying for over many months. God has brought her back to us. From the brink of death to hope and healing. Seeing her today was like witnessing a prayer answered in real time.

These are the moments that keep us going.

As we continue this mission, please keep our team in your prayers — for strength, wisdom, and open hearts as we walk forward in faith and service.

This is baby Martha our newest child. She came to us severely malnourished and was sent to a specialized nutrition center to save her life and now is with us for her aftercare. She is still severe acute malnourished so she needs a lot of prayer.
