Godwill Ministries
Godwill Director Joanne Eytzen, Missionary Chris Davis, and Website & Sponsorship Coordinator Debby Farmer just returned from their recent trip to Uganda. They traveled with 600 pounds of supplies including Bibles, children's books, first-aid and health products, art supplies, and clothing for the Kapchorwa community. Thank you for your prayers for safety and good health. They were able to share love and encouragement with the students, teachers, staff, women's groups, and school community leaders. Praise God that 54 students received Jesus into their hearts! Please pray that their faith will grow, and that they will follow the Lord's plan for their lives. Read more here.
Thank you to our very generous sponsors who have donated the funds for this much needed resource. Once completed, the Primary 5, 6 and 7 classes will be relocated to these larger and better ventilated spaces. These upgrades will certainly lead to a healthier learning environment, and as a permanent structure, the school will qualify as a Uganda National Exam Testing Site.
Meet Elly and Carol Chelangat, their son Elian and daughters Erin Joy and Elsie Joanne near their home on the King's Royals Junior School campus. Following God's leading in 2019, Elly and Carol left their home and jobs with New Hope Uganda's Children's Center in Central Uganda, to start Father's Kingdom Ministries International and King's Royals Junior School in Elly's home village of Kapchorwa, East Uganda. There, they have been serving the area residents - mainly peasant farmers, who struggle to eke out a subsistence level of life. Many families are separated, and children have often been relocated to live with their distant relatives or acquaintances in Kapchorwa. Godwill Ministries embraces Elly and Carol's vision of demonstrating the Father's Love and bringing the Living Hope of Christ to their impoverished community by working to see that -
1. All children receive a quality education. 2. Food and water stability is realized and maintained. 3. Development opportunities lead to economic sustainability. 4. God is glorified in Kapchorwa!
A rudimentary 3-room school began in 2019 for 60 children. Today, an incredible 250 students, ages 3 to 19 are enrolled in 10 different classrooms. Classes range from Baby Class to Primary 7. A majority of the students rely on partial or full support and would be financially unable to attend school. Godwill Ministries has created a classroom sponsorship program that ultimately benefits every student. Sponsorship funds help provide the books, supplies, uniforms, a mid-morning porridge bowl and simple lunch per child, and a modest salary for the caring, qualified, and dedicated teachers. Our sponsors are loved by the classroom students and teachers and always welcome your prayers and letters!

The Classroom Sponsorship Method provides a fair and positive approach to benefiting the individual child in the following ways:
Your donation helps develop and maintain basic learning spaces, desks and seating, chalkboard, etc.
Your donation helps to hire and retain properly accredited teachers and provide appropriate teaching manuals.
Your donation helps cover student notebooks and writing materials.
Your donation helps cover a mid-morning porridge and basic lunch for the students (often their sole daily meals).
Your donation helps provide a uniform or basic school apparel.
Your communications benefit every child in the classroom alleviating hurt feelings of children with less involved sponsors.
