It all gets down to this doesn’t it? \u00a0You’ve visited the website, you’ve looked at the pictures, you’ve read the patient’s and CHF staffs testimonies, so now what?<\/p>\n

IT’S TIME TO MAKE A COMMITMENT AND GET INVOLVED!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

YES, YOU!<\/p>\n

As Jesus said, “The fields are white unto harvest, but the laborers are few.” \u00a0How true I have found this statement to be while working in Uganda over the last six years. \u00a0The opportunity for ministry is endless here, whether you are talking about spreading the Gospel, to medically treating patients, to meeting basic needs of people, to financing a young child’s chance for an education.<\/p>\n

BUT NONE OF IT WILL GET DONE IF YOU DON’T DO YOUR PART!!!!<\/p>\n

SO NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A PERSON’S LIFE! \u00a0A REAL DIFFERENCE!<\/p>\n

How can help? \u00a0Let me count the ways. \u00a0If you are a Christian, the number one thing you need to do is put CHF on your regular prayer list! \u00a0Yes, that is the most important need we have, and once you come over and see for yourself what we do on the front lines, you will agree. \u00a0But you have to be serious about it. \u00a0Prayer is serious! \u00a0There is probably nothing worse than attempting to do God’s work using self effort. \u00a0Please see the story of the children of Israel when they decided on their own to take the promised land without God’s blessing after disobeying Him. \u00a0The results were disastrous. \u00a0A Christian must always be led by the Spirit, if his or her ministry is going to have success. \u00a0Grab the kids, design a big CHF sign, and then put it on your refrigerator and get the whole family praying for us.<\/p>\n

The second way, is get online and consider regular financial giving. \u00a0We are trying to make the process as simple as possible. \u00a0The form is easy to fill out. \u00a0We take all major credit cards. \u00a0Drop us an email at “caringhandsfoundationltd@gmail.com<\/a>” and tell us how you want the money to be spent. \u00a0I am particularly happy with our CHF accounting that gets your money to the people and projects that we are working with. \u00a0I want to caution all of you that corruption and deceit with regard to giving to organizations around the globe is a very big problem. \u00a0I encourage you to get to know us or anyone you are sending money to, because there are many unscrupulous people out here. \u00a0We have no big overhead costs involved to drain away your donation, (as\u00a0I take care of those myself),\u00a0so your financial help goes directly to where you want it to go. \u00a0Remember, your US dollar is worth over 2600 Ugandan shillings at the time of this writing, so you money goes a loooooong way here. \u00a0You can feed a family for a week here for five bucks.<\/p>\n

We are developing new areas on the website that will give you more information about each project or individuals we are assisting. \u00a0For example, we are working on updating you on how some of our patient’s medical conditions are, and who might need extra help with their hospital expenses. \u00a0Yesterday we just transferred and admitted a child with SEVERE malnutrition and close to death. \u00a0You might want of follow her story. \u00a0Many of our patients spend weeks to months in the hospital getting treatment.<\/p>\n

Our Kasensero primary school construction project needs funding. \u00a0We will be adding a portion of our site dedicated to updating you about the the ongoing construction of the school. \u00a0We will try to place the blueprints or at least an architectural rendition of the school online along with the proposed estimated costs. \u00a0We will try to break down those costs, so that if you want to give a hundred dollars, you will know just what that will purchase. \u00a0Our big need at the moment is fencing in our 5 acres of land, so that we can keep the cows out, and locals from using the land as some sort of dumping ground. \u00a0All the land is bought and paid for.<\/p>\n

If any of you want to support a child by paying their school fees, we have an endless list of names at your request. \u00a0Just email us, and we will set you up with any number of children along with the costs involved.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, come on over and help us. \u00a0Discouraged with the struggle of American culture stealing your children’s spiritual lives? \u00a0There is nothing like getting your 8 year old son or your 14 year old daughter to see someone their own age living in a shack that you or I would not keep our dogs in. \u00a0There is something about seeing the harsh reality of life face to face that will change your children’s perspective forever. \u00a0You can talk to your kids about giving and being thankful for what they have until you are blue in the face, but until they see how most people live in this world up close and personal, the chances of them really understanding the self-indulgent culture they live in is a remote one. \u00a0Bringing your family for short term missions will bring your family close together. \u00a0You will experience worshiping God in a whole new way. \u00a0You might even learn that dancing in church is a good thing. \u00a0It will change your life and their lives forever.<\/p>\n

If you are not a Christian or are weirded out by all this “Jesus talk”, take heart, we at CHF are patient, and nearly everything we do has a simple humanitarian approach to it. \u00a0Don’t pass us by as a bunch of religious nuts. \u00a0We’re not. \u00a0We’re not perfect… yet. \u00a0We just know where we are going after we die, and we get renewed each day by the One who made us, and yes, we believe we were created by God and we did not crawl out of some slime pit millions of years ago by chance. \u00a0Give us a try, and IF you are TRULY seeking for truth, you will eventually find it at the Cross of Christ. \u00a0We would humbly recommend that you pick up a Bible and read the book of John. \u00a0We just might be your guide to eternal life. \u00a0We don’t bite.<\/p>\n

Let us know how you like the website. \u00a0We want and request your feedback as we are striving to make this site something you want to check out on a daily basis. \u00a0WE WANT TO BE HABIT FORMING!<\/p>\n

Come on. \u00a0The adventure is waiting.<\/p>\n
