These Animistic communities are poverty stricken with little hope of freedom except for the work being carried out by Parental Care Ministries which includes a school operating a support mechanism for poor children, helping them break free of the perpetual poverty which has limited their families for many a long year. Part of the support mechanism is a child sponsorship scheme, making it possible for poor children to get an education as well as food, accommodation, clothing and medical care.<br /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367145964044294626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 67px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigjIwbMWUWYx7mEDmcyML_EUjd-TZTdA9R16o_31amev9JYQAq8ARMNQDq8X_FtVzlbZchqa3fwjEkF0DoV-i-CwX0L2T0qnuuVwhK2Jxg6HQkibByJGFj3Pzi_bNO1yos6RSQ3Gq3p2Y/s400/Parental+Care+sponsor+kids+2.png" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367145959957444338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 68px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglpcI_9un22uxOxnGnLuxWcvo6yfcjnEnzEQTB2V5x5lVqxeQthZwXZZLH9lut8PrenkJE3wXlCJDT5Ba-oLP2g7E2ai0JjzlTYFMaRdDzaSvMikObpIdB3qhbM5igTyPZ8RVPE6NfwOk/s400/Parental+Care+sponsor+kids+1.png" border="0" /><br />To fully sponsor a child it costs £20/month/child, to part sponsor a child the costs start at £5/month/child. <br /><br />To sponsor a child with Parental Care Ministries please use the Bank Mandate form on the link at the right hand side of this page.<br /><br />If you would like to discuss the matter further please contact us on <a href="mailto:mail@mission-international.org">mail@mission-international.org</a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://mission-international.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcc33;"><strong>Back to Mission International blog</strong></span></a><br /></div>McGrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00573733441807946910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918051028296628093.post-20902072996117483992009-07-06T06:32:00.000-07:002009-07-06T06:49:00.498-07:00Parental Care Sports Day:<div><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#99ffff;">Inter-School sports day causes big upset:</span></strong></div><br /><div>The kids of Parental Care School in Mbarara, Uganda have exceeded all expectations by winning the prizes at an Inter-School sports event against stronger and more experienced opposition.

It was clear that something needed to be done to support the many children in the area whose parents had died or who had been abandoned by their families.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#99ffff;">Early Days:</span></strong><br />The early days of the ministry were tough. The dire lack of resources facing the enormous need meant that Pastor Nnyanzi and his whole family had to sacrifice greatly in order to help those who were in even grater need than they were themselves. Over time some friends from the UK and USA came alongside and began to support this vital work allowing Pastor Nnyanzi to further develop the ministry. Today PCM comprises of a school, an orphanage a church and a Bible training school. Much has been achieved but still more is necessary if this stricken community is going to break out and reach its full potential.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#99ffff;">How you can help?</span></strong><br />There is no doubt about it that the progress seen in PCM over the years has been much to do with the persistence and passion of Pastor Nnyanzi and his team in Mbarara, however the work could not have reached its current stage without the input of supporters and donors who have come alongside Pastor Nnyanzi.<br /><br />You can become one of the small army of supporters who give of their time and resources to further this powerful work in Uganda.
