Mattresses for Agape Community Centre in Uganda!

Agape Kids

We know that sometimes it seems like we are constantly in fundraising mode here at Cincy Urban Promise. And that is some what true. While we are a ministry that focuses on serving the poor in our community we know that in the eyes of those living in developing countries, even our poor here in the US are not truly poor in the eyes of most of the world.

Cincy Urban Promise has partnered together in prayer and what little financial support we can provide with Agape Community Centre in Uganda! We met Joseph at the CCDA conference two years ago and it was the beginning of a great friendship. This past year Joseph was able to visit us and preach to us and show us information about his beautiful community center.

At Agape they do many things, but the main thing is to care for poor and orphaned children through sponsorship. We were blessed just recently to be able to provide funds for Agape to purchase new mattresses for the children in their new center! We were able to purchase 30 mattresses and bedding!

We wanted to share this great news with you and share some photos! We want you to know our heart for the poor and the orphaned go beyond our city, God's heart is for the poor of the world - and it's our job to reach them! If you want more info on Agape click here.

We also have some Ugandan magazine beaded necklaces for sale in support of Agape. They are $15 each. Let us know if you're interested in supporting Agape in this way!

Good News Club!

This year was finally the year we got to start a Good News Club in Chase Elementary school! A GNC is a Bible club that teaches the basics of the gospel to elementary students with fun songs, memory verse games, snacks, and all the things kids love! We are so thankful to be able to share Christ in the elementary school. Our club goes through March this year and we've had 6 students so far give their lives to Christ. Pray about joining us next school year to volunteer to teach, help with snacks, and just love on students!

Here's some pics from today:

New Website!

We've decided to take a different approach to our web presence and use a blog instead of a website! We think this will do a couple different things:

1. Allow people to follow the workings of our ministry more closely.

2. Give you all a way to collaborate with us in ministry.

3. Allow us to more quickly share urgent prayer needs!

We hope everyone will be encouraged by the content we share here and will be motivated to get involved in sharing Christ in the inner city!
