<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Currently, Ronald has opened up his home to the 35 orphans at The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation and&nbsp;space is extremely limited. While there are many smaller projects going on (which you can see on our Daily Bread Fundraising page), our biggest project right now is the purchasing of land to build a real orphanage on. We have a&nbsp;vision of building a home for them so that they have plenty of space.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Ronald has selected a plot of land large enough for the building and, in his words, has enough room for a playground too. The initial plot of land that he had&nbsp;chosen was&nbsp;$5,000 dollars. However, that piece of land has been sold, so he has&nbsp;selected another plot of land. This one is a little smaller so it is $3,000.&nbsp;We know that God is big enough to provide the home that the children need and deserve, so we are going to put God first and believe in this dream of a nice home for the children!&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Once the plot of land has been bought, we are putting together a trip over to Uganda to help him in the construction of the orphanage. The trip will take place sometime in 2019. I would like to bring a group of volunteers to help with the construction of the building and purchasing supplies while we are there. Men will be great for the construction&nbsp;but we also need women, as&nbsp;I would like to coordinate the women to visit with the 10 widows in Ronald&rsquo;s care at their homes, as well as help with the cooking and cleaning, and of course, the best part of all... playing with the children! We also need teachers,&nbsp;as the local teachers would benefit from resources and strategies that would not otherwise be available, and farmers, to assist the 10 widows in planting/harvesting and teaching any&nbsp;new farming techniques.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">If you would like to come along on this trip and are able to, please stay tuned as the months go by for updates on the fundraiser to purchase the land. I have been to Uganda in 2017 and will be available to answer any questions that you have.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">This is certainly an exciting time for all of us and I urge you to pray and seek God&rsquo;s guidance as to what part he has called each of us to play, whether it be financial or physically volunteering.</p>

Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12024/master/">bunk beds</a> after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/11823/master/">2. Farm Animals for income.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12610/master/">4. Water Tank</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Walking miles back and forth each day takes a lot of time and energy while carrying 50 gallon jugs of water. You will often see these bright yellow containers in the backgrounds of pictures. Adults and children alike take these daily trips. A water tank is an efficient way to store water on site and cut back on the daily trips. Cost was $30.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12026/master/">5. A Roof over the Eating Area&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Meal time is a feat when you don&#39;t have a roof over your head to eat! The children have always eaten outside and Ronald constructed a small eating area out of wood from the trees, but it was lacking a roof. He needed a tarp and nails to hold it down. The tarp was purchased and now the children are able to <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12129/master/">eat in their eating area</a> during rain and also have shade from the sun.&nbsp;</p>

The trip will take place sometime in 2019. I would like to bring a group of volunteers to help with the construction of the building and purchasing supplies while we are there. Men will be great for the construction&nbsp;but we also need women.&nbsp;I would like to coordinate the women to visit with the 10 widows in Ronald&rsquo;s care at their homes, as well as help with the cooking and cleaning, and of course, the best part of all... playing with the children! We also need teachers,&nbsp;as the local teachers would benefit from resources and strategies that would not otherwise be available.&nbsp;If you would like to come along on this trip and are able to, please stay tuned as the months go by for updates on the fundraiser to purchase the land. I have been to Uganda in 2017 and will be available to answer any questions that you have.&nbsp;</p>

Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12024/master/">bunk beds</a> after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/11823/master/">2. Farm Animals for income.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12610/master/">4. Water Tank</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Walking miles back and forth each day takes a lot of time and energy while carrying 50 gallon jugs of water. You will often see these bright yellow containers in the backgrounds of pictures. Adults and children alike take these daily trips. A water tank is an efficient way to store water on site and cut back on the daily trips. Cost was $30.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12026/master/">5. A Roof over the Eating Area&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Meal time is a feat when you don&#39;t have a roof over your head to eat! The children have always eaten outside and Ronald constructed a small eating area out of wood from the trees, but it was lacking a roof. He needed a tarp and nails to hold it down. The tarp was purchased and now the children are able to <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12129/master/">eat in their eating area</a> during rain and also have shade from the sun.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Currently, Ronald has opened up his home to the 35 orphans at The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation and&nbsp;space is extremely limited. While there are many smaller projects going on (which you can see on our Daily Bread Fundraising page), our biggest project right now is the purchasing of land to build a real orphanage on. We have a&nbsp;vision of building a home for them so that they have plenty of space.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Ronald has selected a plot of land large enough for the building and, in his words, has enough room for a playground too. The initial plot of land that he had&nbsp;chosen was&nbsp;$5,000 dollars. However, that piece of land has been sold, so he has&nbsp;selected another plot of land. This one is a little smaller so it is $3,000.&nbsp;We know that God is big enough to provide the home that the children need and deserve, so we are going to put God first and believe in this dream of a nice home for the children!&nbsp;</p>

Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12024/master/">bunk beds</a> after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/11823/master/">2. Farm Animals for income.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12610/master/">4. Water Tank</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Walking miles back and forth each day takes a lot of time and energy while carrying 50 gallon jugs of water. You will often see these bright yellow containers in the backgrounds of pictures. Adults and children alike take these daily trips. A water tank is an efficient way to store water on site and cut back on the daily trips. Cost was $30.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12026/master/">5. A Roof over the Eating Area&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Meal time is a feat when you don&#39;t have a roof over your head to eat! The children have always eaten outside and Ronald constructed a small eating area out of wood from the trees, but it was lacking a roof. He needed a tarp and nails to hold it down. The tarp was purchased and now the children are able to <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12129/master/">eat in their eating area</a> during rain and also have shade from the sun.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Currently, Ronald has opened up his home to the 35 orphans at The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation and&nbsp;space is extremely limited. While there are many smaller projects going on (which you can see on our Daily Bread Fundraising page), our biggest project right now is the purchasing of land to build a real orphanage on. We have a&nbsp;vision of building a home for them so that they have plenty of space.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Ronald has selected a plot of land large enough for the building and, in his words, has enough room for a playground too. The initial plot of land that he had&nbsp;chosen was&nbsp;$5,000 dollars. However, that piece of land has been sold, so he has&nbsp;selected another plot of land. This one is a little smaller so it is $3,000.&nbsp;We know that God is big enough to provide the home that the children need and deserve, so we are going to put God first and believe in this dream of a nice home for the children!&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Once the plot of land has been bought, we are putting together a trip over to Uganda to help him in the construction of the orphanage. The trip will take place sometime in 2019. I would like to bring a group of volunteers to help with the construction of the building and purchasing supplies while we are there. Men will be great for this project but we also need women.&nbsp;I would like to coordinate the women to visit with the 10 widows in Ronald&rsquo;s care at their homes, as well as help with the cooking and cleaning, and of course, the best part of all... playing with the children! If you would like to come along on this trip and are able to, please stay tuned as the months go by for updates on the fundraiser to purchase the land. I have been to Uganda in 2017 and will be available to answer any questions that you have.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">This is certainly an exciting time for all of us and I urge you to pray and seek God&rsquo;s guidance as to what part he has called each of us to play, whether it be financial or physically volunteering.</p>

The children have always eaten outside and Ronald constructed a small eating area out of wood from the trees, but it was lacking a roof. He needed a tarp and nails to hold it down. The tarp was purchased and now the children are able to <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12129/master/">eat in their eating area</a> during rain and also have shade from the sun.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Currently, Ronald has opened up his home to the 35 orphans at The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation and&nbsp;space is extremely limited. While there are many smaller projects going on (which you can see on our Daily Bread Fundraising page), our biggest project right now is the purchasing of land to build a real orphanage on. We have a&nbsp;vision of building a home for them so that they have plenty of space.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Ronald has selected a plot of land large enough for the building and, in his words, has enough room for a playground too. The initial plot of land that he had&nbsp;chosen was&nbsp;$5,000 dollars. However, that piece of land has been sold, so he has&nbsp;selected another plot of land. This one is a little smaller so it is $3,000.&nbsp;We know that God is big enough to provide the home that the children need and deserve, so we are going to put God first and believe in this dream of a nice home for the children!&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Once the plot of land has been bought, we are putting together a trip over to Uganda to help him in the construction of the orphanage. The trip will take place sometime in 2019. I would like to bring a group of volunteers to help with the construction of the building and purchasing supplies while we are there. Men will be great for this project but we also need women.&nbsp;I would like to coordinate the women to visit with the 10 widows in Ronald&rsquo;s care at their homes, as well as help with the cooking and cleaning, and of course, the best part of all... playing with the children! If you would like to come along on this trip and are able to, please stay tuned as the months go by for updates on the fundraiser to purchase the land. I have been to Uganda in 2017 and will be available to answer any questions that you have.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">This is certainly an exciting time for all of us and I urge you to pray and seek God&rsquo;s guidance as to what part he has called each of us to play, whether it be financial or physically volunteering.</p>

Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12024/master/">bunk beds</a> after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/11823/master/">2. Farm Animals for income.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom,&nbsp;</p>

Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12024/master/">bunk beds</a> after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/11823/master/">2. Farm Animals for income.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom,&nbsp;</p>

Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12024/master/">bunk beds</a> after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/11823/master/">2. Farm Animals for income.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom,&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Currently, Ronald has opened up his home to the 35 orphans at The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation and&nbsp;space is extremely limited. While there are many smaller projects going on (which you can see on our Daily Bread Fundraising page), our biggest project right now is the purchasing of land to build a real orphanage on. We have a&nbsp;vision of building a home for them so that they have plenty of space.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Ronald has selected a plot of land large enough for the building and, in his words, has enough room for a playground too. The plot of land that he has chosen is $5,000 dollars. We know that God is big enough to provide the home that the children need and deserve, so we are going to put God first and believe in this dream of a nice home for the children!&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Once the plot of land has been bought, we are putting together a trip over to Uganda to help him in the construction of the orphanage. The trip will take place sometime in 2019. I would like to bring a group of volunteers to help with the construction of the building and purchasing supplies while we are there. Men will be great for this project but we also need women.&nbsp;I would like to coordinate the women to visit with the 10 widows in Ronald&rsquo;s care at their homes, as well as help with the cooking and cleaning, and of course, the best part of all... playing with the children! If you would like to come along on this trip and are able to, please stay tuned as the months go by for updates on the fundraiser to purchase the land. I have been to Uganda in 2017 and will be available to answer any questions that you have.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">This is certainly an exciting time for all of us and I urge you to pray and seek God&rsquo;s guidance as to what part he has called each of us to play, whether it be financial or physically volunteering.</p>

Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12024/master/">bunk beds</a> after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/11823/master/">2. Farm Animals for income.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom,&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Currently, Ronald has opened up his home to the 35 orphans at The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation and&nbsp;space is extremely limited. While there are many smaller projects going on (which you can see on our Daily Bread Fundraising page), our biggest project right now is the purchasing of land to build a real orphanage on. We have a&nbsp;vision of building a home for them so that they have plenty of space.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Ronald has selected a plot of land large enough for the building and, in his words, has enough room for a playground too. The plot of land that he has chosen is $5,000 dollars. We know that God is big enough to provide the home that the children need and deserve, so we are going to put God first and believe in this dream of a nice home for the children!&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Once the plot of land has been bought, we are putting together a trip over to Uganda to help him in the construction of the orphanage. The trip will take place sometime in 2019. I would like to bring a group of volunteers to help with the construction of the building and purchasing supplies while we are there. Men will be great for this project but we also need women.&nbsp;I would like to coordinate the women to visit with the 10 widows in Ronald&rsquo;s care at their homes, as well as help with the cooking and cleaning, and of course, the best part of all... playing with the children! If you would like to come along on this trip and are able to, please stay tuned as the months go by for updates on the fundraiser to purchase the land. I have been to Uganda in 2017 and will be available to answer any questions that you have.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">This is certainly an exciting time for all of us and I urge you to pray and seek God&rsquo;s guidance as to what part he has called each of us to play, whether it be financial or physically volunteering.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Currently, Ronald has opened up his home to the 35 orphans at The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation and&nbsp;space is extremely limited. While there are many smaller projects going on (which you can see on our Daily Bread Fundraising page), our biggest project right now is the purchasing of land to build a real orphanage on. We have a&nbsp;vision of building a home for them so that they have plenty of space.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Ronald has selected a plot of land large enough for the building and, in his words, has enough room for a playground too. The plot of land that he has chosen is $5,000 dollars. We know that God is big enough to provide the home that the children need and deserve, so we are going to put God first and believe in this dream of a nice home for the children!&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Once the plot of land has been bought, we are putting together a trip over to Uganda to help him in the construction of the orphanage. The trip will take place sometime in 2019. I would like to bring a group of volunteers to help with the construction of the building and purchasing supplies while we are there. Men will be great for this project but we also need women.&nbsp;I would like to coordinate the women to visit with the 10 widows in Ronald&rsquo;s care at their homes, as well as help with the cooking and cleaning, and of course, the best part of all... playing with the children! If you would like to come along on this trip and are able to, please stay tuned as the months go by for updates on the fundraiser to purchase the land. I have been to Uganda in 2017 and will be available to answer any questions that you have.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">This is certainly an exciting time for all of us and I urge you to pray and seek God&rsquo;s guidance as to what part he has called each of us to play, whether it be financial or physically volunteering.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/11006/marissa-boddens-dream-come-true">1. Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/12024/master/">bunk beds</a> after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/11823/master/">2. Farm Animals for income.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom,&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Currently, Ronald has opened up his home to the 35 orphans at The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation and&nbsp;space is extremely limited. We have a&nbsp;vision of building a home for them so that they have plenty of space.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Ronald has selected a plot of land large enough for the building and, in his words, has enough room for a playground too. The plot of land that he has chosen is $5,000 dollars. We know that God is big enough to provide the home that the children need and deserve, so we are going to put God first and believe in this dream of a nice home for the children!&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Once the plot of land has been bought, we are putting together a trip over to Uganda to help him in the construction of the orphanage. The trip will take place sometime in 2019. I would like to bring a group of volunteers to help with the construction of the building and purchasing supplies while we are there. Men will be great for this project but we also need women.&nbsp;I would like to coordinate the women to visit with the 10 widows in Ronald&rsquo;s care at their homes, as well as help with the cooking and cleaning, and of course, the best part of all... playing with the children! If you would like to come along on this trip and are able to, please stay tuned as the months go by for updates on the fundraiser to purchase the land. I have been to Uganda in 2017 and will be available to answer any questions that you have.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">This is certainly an exciting time for all of us and I urge you to pray and seek God&rsquo;s guidance as to what part he has called each of us to play, whether it be financial or physically volunteering.</p>

<p style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; color: rgb(73, 73, 73); font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">PREVIOUS PROJECTS:&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/11006/marissa-boddens-dream-come-true">1. Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for bunk beds after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/11823/master/">2. Farm Animals for income.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom,&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/11006/marissa-boddens-dream-come-true">1. Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for bunk beds after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p>2. Farm Animals for income.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom,&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/11006/marissa-boddens-dream-come-true">1. Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for bunk beds after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p>2. Farm Animals for income.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. They are named Wilbur, Babe and Piglet. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property. The older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/9071/projects-at-lords-mercy-foundation">3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom,&nbsp;</p>

<p>PREVIOUS PROJECTS:&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>1. Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for bunk beds after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p>2. Farm Animals for income.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property and the older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>

<p>3. Restroom Facilities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Originally there was no restroom. Ronald had constructed a small area at the side of the house with sticks and banana leaves for the roof. Thanks to faithful givers with genuine hearts, he was able to build a brick shelter with theee holes and a tin roof over it. Now the children have facilities to use the restroom,&nbsp;</p>

<p>PREVIOUS PROJECTS:&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>1. Mattresses for all of the children.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Earlier this year, we successfully raised $700.00 to be able to purchase 35 mattresses for all of the children at the foundation. We were also going to be raising funds for bunk beds after that, but we realized that the more immediate need was land for the children to have a real orphanage on.&nbsp;I believe Ronald is accurate in feeling that a home with space is a higher priority at the moment than bunk beds. So once we are able to give the children enough space, we can work on raising funds for&nbsp;the bunk beds&nbsp;again.</p>

<p>2. Farm Animals for income.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We have bought three piglets for The Lord&#39;s Mercy Foundation. The piglets live in a homemade shelter on the grounds of the property and the older children are involved in caring for the piglets. All of the piglets are female. Once the piglets are grown and have piglets of their own, Ronald will sell the new piglets for income to help take care of the children. He has a neighbor not to far away with male pigs that will contribute when the female piglets are grown.&nbsp;</p>
