THE START!



JINJA - UGANDA: AUMA CONFERENCE!

So, it is only 3 days away from the AUMA Conference in Jinja Uganda..... ...exciting to say the least!

As it will be my first Conference as the 'official but unpaid' General Administrator for AUMA Southern Africa, I am very excited, however, still a little bit in the dark as to who, where, what and why???

(Although I am not being paid, I have felt a need to continue because I believe God has huge plans to save Africa, and I really want to be a part of His big plan.)

I am forever grateful to Jesus for opening this door for me and allowing me the time to get AUMA Southern Africa rolling into an Organisation that will glorify His amazing name beyond measure. And, I also want to thank my sponsors for the opportunity to attend the Conference at their expense, praise God for your generosity!

Although I do know more or less what the NPO Organisation is about, it's more a case of learning about who, where, what and why have I been employed. Again, I do have a contract with my job description, so I know what is expected of me, I just need to learn more on how to gather members, donors and interest to get started.

My main objective is to start raising funds that will break AUMA's bank account seams. Africa needs endless funds to entertain the needs of the millions upon millions of poverty stricken people who are suffering in many different ways. To name some of the sufferings;

we have the highest HIV sufferers in the world;
  • millions of orphans from HIV victims and baby dumping;
  • then there are those that live below the poverty line;
  • and then there are the elderly that have no financial means to survive;
  • the homeless in the shelters;
  • those that live on the streets;
  • the lost whose only form of comfort is their hopeless addictions;
  • those who are exploited;
  • and the list goes on and on.
Africa is a nation that is riddled with corrupt leaders and of course, North Africa is currently a war zone which is creating much need too.

So, we not only need huge financial strengths, but physical in the way of volunteers, and spiritual in the way of pray warriors.

This is what I need to ask! Do you feel equipped to help, or does your heart break for what breaks God's? If you feel called to help, please leave a message for me and I will get back to you!

Lord, I pray for generous donors, for strong and willing volunteers and for Your Holy Spirit to reign down on all those that are lost and hurting. Please Father, give those who run the different NPO Organisations, the wisdom in the running of whatever project you have laid on their hearts. I pray that You would bless each beyond substantial so that those who are in need would benefit and learn to give You all the glory. I pray for broken hearts to be mended and for all to come to know You as their Lord and Saviour. Have favour and mercy upon Africa Lord, and allow us, as followers of You, to be obedient vessels of hope in You. In Jesus name I pray, amen!

Isaiah 61:1 (NKJV) The Good News of Salvation
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
