A world away…
And yet, right here.
And how?
Prayer—
The joining of hearts turned to the Father, petitioning Him for all that is needed…
Praising Him for how He has answered …
How He WILL answer.
I turn the globe and find you there.
That small speck on our great big world.

To us.
On December 6th, 2024, Yahweh Faith Foundation marked a joyful milestone as we celebrated the first graduation of our top class nursery students into Primary One. The ceremony was filled with pride, laughter, and heartfelt prayers as family, teachers, and community members gathered to honor the achievements of our young learners.
It’s that special season—
A time when we reflect upon our Savior.
No matter where we live, he is with us—our Good Shepherd.
Yes, Emmanuel—God with us.
I remember a time 30 years ago.

It is quite common in Uganda to have to pay a bribe to get a job, no matter how

When Yahweh Faith Foundation Nursery School chose to locate a mere 500 meters
from her home, Judith’s dream of going to school moved closer to reality. Though a 10-
year-old should be in Primary 4, Judith is in Top of Class, studying with children who
are four years younger.
"Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him"
(Psalm 62:5 NIV)
Just as school has started for many students here in the States--a time when classes, extracurriculars, and sports begin--the children at Yahweh Faith are resting from their studies.
And they--students and teachers alike--have earned it.
