The orphans that we have at Success Africa Children’s Choir have not had normal lives, a lot of them have gone through ups and downs, and never really having anything consistent. The Lord promises us that we are a new creation:
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17
These children have become new creations in Christ and they no longer will ever be alone again. To see the faith these children have despite their past is so inspiring to all who they meet, which is why we are excited that we able to show them by example that the Lord makes everything new.
We are beginning several projects that will help these children experience new things. The tour we are praying for will give them a different worldview and exposure to different cultures, beads project giving them skill, Getting into one home by January 2012 will improve their spiritual life ,give them better reading and revision environment, enough time for our music, more out reaches ,better living environment make them more responsible, groom talent, The Children’s village that will contain schools, a mult purpose hall for church, community events, Dining room, the homes in African setting as they leave the slums they currently stay in with poor drainage, Agriculture (Animal and Crop husbandry will help the children see how well the Lord provides. They will be able to physically see the Lord at work. What an example this is to help them strengthen and mature their walk with Christ.
As we teach these children the truths of the Lord, they are taking it all in. We hope that these children realize that the Lord loves them despite anything that has happened before. They are a new creation and we believe they will be the leaders of tomorrow.
As we take these steps to begin all these new projects we pray that the Lord will lead us not only with the current projects but with ideas for future projects. We are looking forward to continuing to see life change in these children’s lives and to continue to see more people become a new creation in God.
As most of you know, new things do not last long, but our new creation in Christ never gets old. What God has done here in Uganda has been such an eye opener for our Ministry. He has made several big “waves” in the community through our ministry and we have no doubt that He will continue. We want the Lord to never be something that is something of the past to people. We want to teach and show people that God’s love is everlasting.
We here at Success Africa Children’s Choir, are so blessed to have so many new creations in our lives and we are excited to see what the future holds. We know that Lord has great plans for us and no matter what we can rejoice in the fact that we are new again!
“Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up. These events will bring great honor to the Lord’s name; they will be an everlasting sign of
his power and love”
Isaiah 55:13
