Impact
Impact is a mission outreach to Uganda, comprising the building of relationship between Emmanuel Community and Holy Trinity Community in Masaka, Uganda through visits of small teams of people, sponsorship and financial support, and a number of other initiatives.
HOW was IMPACT Formed?
Involvement with Uganda began in 2004 with the Bishop from Masaka, Uganda, asking NET Ministries Australia to train youth leaders. Since that time NET and Emmanuel Community have partnered and set up a relationship with the Holy Trinity community in Masaka.
Although IMPACT at this time is focused towards Uganda, our hearts are open to wherever the Lord may lead.
WHAT does IMPACT do?
- Child Sponsorship
Education is a key issue in alleviating poverty, so child sponsorship that provides the simple opportunity for education that we take for granted is a high priority. Lives are changed for as little as
- $200 AUD p.a. (just $17/month) for Primary education, or
- $600 AUD p.a. (just $50/month) for Secondary education
- Medical Relief
- $10 will supply valuable medicine for malaria, HIV infected children & emergency medial needs.
- Schools & other Building Projects
- a roof on a school, gutters to collect rain water; water tanks; desks; stationery supplies; teachers quarters … and the list goes on
- Bibles
- Just $15 AUD, buys a Lugandan bible. To date we have been able to send over 250 bibles into Uganda. How valuable it is to be able to read God’s Word in the native language!
These projects and needs are determined at this time by Holy Trinity Community, our ’sister’ community, in Masaka.
WHAT are the Aims of IMPACT?
- To foster understanding and build relationships
- To promote educational initiatives, including sponsorships
- To be a source of information for the wider community
- To encourage practical and financial support
- To empower lives towards a sustainable future
How can I Help?
The needs are great …How does one respond?
Scripture says “How wonderful are the feet of those who bring good news of freedom..” It is exciting to be part of a global vision to bring ‘good news of freedom’. All of us can contribute in some way whether this be done by physically going, or by prayer, or by financial giving … all are important … and all bring freedom.
Our motto ‘making a difference - one child - one school - one community - at a time” helps us break down the enormity of world poverty into ‘bite size’ pieces motivating us to make a response.
Yes! The needs are never ending and overwhelming... but we can change the world one step at a time. We cannot help everyone but we can help a few who really need us.
We invite you to help us make an IMPACT. Will you join us?
