Partnering with 911 Emerge-N-See to Bring a Year of Healing to Batwa Children We trust this message finds you and your family well, preparing for a blessed Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. During this sacred season, we are reminded of how much we have to be thankful for—and of Christ’s call to be His hands and feet to those in need. Many of you have faithfully prayed for Hope Ministries Uganda and the work being done among the Batwa tribesmen and women. Today, we want to share a lifesaving opportunity to make a profound and lasting impact on their children—one that costs only pennies per person, yet changes lives for years to come. The Batwa, once hunter-gatherers living in the forests of southwestern Uganda, were displaced from their ancestral homes and now endure both spiritual and physical poverty in the Kisoro, Kabale, and Kanungu districts. Each year, thousands of Batwa—many of them children—suffer or die from preventable illnesses easily treated with basic medical supplies, broad-spectrum antibiotics, analgesics, and other essential medicines. This year, we are partnering with 911 Emerge-N-See to raise $12,000—enough to provide a full year’s supply of critical medical resources for Batwa children. This gift of care is simple, sustainable, and transformative. It will directly equip our teams on the ground to provide treatment, relieve suffering, and offer hope where it is desperately needed. Through a special love offering, would you prayerfully consider participating in this mission of mercy—through both prayer and any financial gift the Lord leads you to give? Your generosity will help ensure that Batwa children receive the healing, dignity, and hope they deserve throughout the entire coming year. Together, through Christ’s love, we can bring health and hope to the Batwa—one child, one community, one year at a time.

On June 27, Austin's lower extremities became extremely swollen, and he experienced intense pain. He was quickly transported to a hospital two hours away. Upon arrival, Austin's condition rapidly worsened; he began having seizures, and his body started to shut down. At the first hospital, he was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. He received multiple units of blood, but his body was unable to properly process it. Since his condition was deteriorating, we knew we had to immediately transfer Austin to a larger hospital. We managed to move him to a children's hospital in Mbarara. There, he was diagnosed with osteomyelitis in both legs. Surgery was required to drain the infection. He was started on multiple antibiotics. His condition gradually improved, and his pain was finally managed. We are uncertain how long Austin will remain hospitalized, but we know he will need ongoing medical support for his lupus treatment. Austin is only ten years old and is fully orphaned. Hope Ministries Uganda is his only family. Would you prayerfully consider supporting Austin?
