Mission Trips

MLC has supported Ugandan Missions through Hope-4-Kids International since 2010.  In 2013 we raised money for one fresh water well.  With the exception of 2020, every year since 2018 we have raised funds to drill 2 fresh water wells. Our next fund raiser for wells, a Walk-4-Water event, will be held in September of 2024.

As of April 2024, 18 individuals form our congregation have been on missions trips to Uganda.  Actions while there included meeting local leaders of charitable organizations; attending formal well dedications, feeding orphans and showing them love, care and fun; holding “Dress-a-Girl” events which also includes T’s for boys, holding medical outreaches in villages, elevating the standing of widows in their communities with a foot washing, and visiting hospitals with gifts of prayer and necessities and worshipping with our Ugandan brothers and sisters. In other words, we follow the directive in Matthew to serve the widows and orphans, feed the hungry, clothe the poor and check on the sick.

In our sponsored village of Sesera we have helped build a church, built a latrine, drilled a fresh water well, started a moringa project to aid in raising nutrition levels and a class is being held to teach adults remedial literacy skills.

There is a also and opportunity to sponsor children, widows or teachers of adults through H4KI and H4WI programs.  Sponsored children, widows and teachers are typically in contact via email.  There are opportunities to meet the sponsored individuals during mission trips.
