Warm Welcomes and Heartfelt Connections in Uganda

After two long days of travel, we were eager to experience Uganda—and what an introduction it was! As we drove through the gates of Operation Uganda’s (OU) Jordan House, we were greeted by the children in the daycare singing and dancing for us. It was an amazing and heartwarming welcome.

We then had the opportunity to meet the dedicated staff, share lunch with them, and hear the inspiring story of why OU was founded 19 years ago by Russell and Jenny Barton. After lunch, we ventured into the community where OU operates to meet families and offer our prayers.

We were deeply touched by the families who welcomed us into their homes and shared their hopes and dreams for their children and grandchildren. It was also profoundly moving to witness the great love and care the OU staff has for these families.

Thanks be to God for these blessings and connections!
