Hope holds on in the hardest places. When crisis strikes, children face fear, loss, and extreme vulnerability. That’s why we work alongside partners to deliver lifesaving essentials, safe spaces for children, and the support families need to survive the first days of an emergency. Backed by the strength of our global partners, we help children move from crisis to stability, rebuilding safer livelihood, stronger systems, and renewed hope for their future.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. ” James 1:27
Orphans and widows are very near to the heart of God. The same is true with the least of our brethren. Whenever we care for these people, we touch the heart of Him who loves the poor, the needy and outcasts. That’s what we do at Revival for Hope Initiative, we save and care. We take the initiative to revive hope in those whose lives would otherwise be hopeless.
Please, won’t you join with, and help us to fulfill this mission? Together we can make a world of difference in their world.
What I tell my 75 kids is, you are not alone in this hard journey. God sees you, he loves you and is waiting to wrap you in his arms. Let go of the weight and surrender to his will. Let his love transform us. We are cherished, and we are enough in Christ Jesus.
Remember how in yesterday’s post I mentioned the importance and power of prayer? Well today we get to apply that lesson to our real world, real-time situation here in Uganda.
Yesterday pre-election violence broke out here. The government has responded by cutting off the internet. This, to many people seems like no big deal, but it is a big deal. Many people and organizations here, like myself, and our orphanage, depend upon it, not just for communication, but also for commerce, for connection to our mobile money accounts. When the internet is shut down in our country, we cannot buy or sell if we don’t have provision ahead of time. It leaves the poor and underprivileged vulnerable to the hardship of deprivation and potentially vulnerable to bandits that might seek to take advantage of them.
Today, would you apply yesterday’s lesson to Uganda, to it’s government and military leaders, to it’s people, even to our orphanage? I believe that there is nothing more powerful than prayer to touch and change hearts, situations, and circumstances.
Pray with us that God Himself, will bless and guide those in authority to show restraint and mercy to the people. Pray that the people will likewise bless the leaders and show mercy, forgiveness, and restraint towards them. Pray that senseless, needless violence would cease, and that peace, calm, civility, and stability would prevail. Pray that God’s protection and provision would remain and reign over our people, country, and orphanage. This isn’t a call to arms, but a call to knees, a call to prayer.
May God’s Will be done in this upcoming election as well as all these matters. In Jesus Name! Amen!

Words can motivate and inspire. But prayer moves heaven. It connects human weakness with divine strength. It transforms anxiety into confidence, restlessness into peace, and uncertainty into mission.
God never wastes a prayer. Not one. Your prayer may not change the situation immediately, but it will change you.
Pray with boldness. Pray with persistence. Pray with dependence. At Revival For Hope Initiative, that is what we do.
