Luke 6:38 - "Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you."

"And if you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday."

Isaiah 58:10 encourages us to go beyond mere charity and truly invest ourselves in helping those in need. When we selflessly devote our time, energy, and resources to the hungry and oppressed, we not only illuminate their lives but also experience personal spiritual enlightenment and renewal.

In Uganda, a growing crisis silently plagues the nation – the plight of street children. These innocent souls, who should be in the safety of homes and schools, face unimaginable challenges daily but the world seems to have forgotten or not to care about them.

As of our last available data in 2021, Uganda had an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 street children suffering on the streets of Kampala with over 50% of these children are under the age of 15. However, there are more thousands of children in the other parts of the country in the same situation.

Street children in Uganda face a daily battle for survival. They endure hunger, exposure to harsh weather, violence, and exploitation. They are vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse, often falling prey to substance abuse as a means of escape.

Your generosity can provide a lifeline for these children seemingly forgotten souls. Donations can be directed towards Shelter, Education, Healthcare and Nutrition.

Your contribution can transform the lives of Uganda's street children. Together, we can break the cycle of suffering by offering them a chance for a brighter future. Please consider making a donation today, and be the ray of hope in these children's lives.

"The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor."

Proverbs 22:9 reaffirms the idea that generosity leads to blessings. When we share our resources, particularly food, with the poor, we not only provide for their immediate needs but also invite divine blessings into our own lives.

Isaiah 58:10 (NIV):

"And if you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday."

Isaiah 58:10 encourages us to go beyond mere charity and truly invest ourselves in helping those in need. When we selflessly devote our time, energy, and resources to the hungry and oppressed, we not only illuminate their lives but also experience personal spiritual enlightenment and renewal.

Corinthians 13:4-7 (New International Version):

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres."

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

This passage from Matthew powerfully illustrates that when we care for the homeless and those in need, we are, in fact, ministering to Christ Himself. It emphasizes the transformative impact of our actions in providing sustenance, shelter, clothing, care, and companionship to those who are suffering.

My name is MULOPI MORIS from Uganda, a final year Biomedical engineering student at Mbarara University of Science and Technology and one of the young readers and lovers of the Urantia book and am here to tell you about my experience about The Urantia Uganda August 2022 Conference which took place from the 24^th to 27^th August, 2022 at the Jinja City Hotel with the theme “The Gift of Revelation”, “The Life and Teaching of Jesus.”

Since am a student, the conference commenced in the last days I was writing my tests at school and I therefore take this opportunity to apologize because I could not make it for the very first day the conference started an I really felt so bad and felt like I missed a lot because the first day is always interesting.

Because the conference was so important to me, my mind could not settle before I reached Jinja and immediately I wrote my last test on the 25^th of August, I had to board a bus there and then to Kampala and finally to Jinja. Since it is a long journey from Mbarara to jinja, it took me some good number of hours to reach Jinja and I reached the Hotel at 11pm in the night.

At that time I found the place so silent because it was time for people to have rest for everything they did during the day. I had to also find a room to rest as I wait for the following day since I was also too exhausted by the journey.

In the morning of the following day, I woke up very early since I was eagerly wanted to attend. So I got up, organized myself and headed for morning breakfast at the Hotel restaurant. To my surprise was to see a very huge number of people of different age brackets lining up for breakfast and they had all come to attend the conference, my happiness started to raise seeing such a big population which had come to receive the revelation.

After breakfast, we headed to conference hall and the day’s program commenced.  There were presentations from different people and it was so interesting as the different presenters were speaking about the nice and useful information embodied in the Urantia book and I really felt so happy once more. It was also such an interactive moment where people were asking questions here and there and every person’s opinion was listened and explanations provided where necessary.

Everything concerning the basic necessities was provided at the conference for example feeding with all meals, accommodation, and medical care for those who got some health challenges etc and everything was a success.

During my stay throughout the entire conference, I met and interacted with many people from the different parts or regions some of whom I knew, some I didn’t know, some I had just heard of them but at the end of it all I was able to make many friends.

The conference also raise and increased my love for the book. Since my joy is always seeing people happy, I was really so happy at the conference as I saw very many people happy and everyone was just appreciating and testifying the goodies of the Urantia book and family and how their lives have changed. The conference as really a unifying factor of different people.

As I conclude, it is my humble request and appeal that this should not be the last conference and we need more of such events to make more people love and embrace the Urantia book.

Thank you very much and may God bless and continue to protect you.
