For the next five weeks we will be collecting for Ray of Hope Medical Missions. This organization has recently built the Rakai Hope Centre in Uganda, a place where healthy babies can be born.
It was made very clear to Ray of Hope Missions that a maternity center was needed in Uganda. It would be a place where moms could give birth to healthy babies and a sanctuary for babies born with conditions that need additional medical care or evacuation. Ray of Hope continues to grow their vision of providing hope to families. Safe births at the Hope Center are happening. There were 14 babies born there just in the month of January! We are hoping that you will help them bring HOPE to the least of these.
We are collecting the following items to be used at the center:
- Washcloths
- Chapstick
- Combs
- Newborn Socks
- Receiving Blankets
- Disposable Panties and Pads.
Thank you. If you have any questions, see Julie Van Oordt.

If you would be willing to cover one of the dates, February 26 through April 8, please see Verlyn Gunnink or Paul Dieterle in the lobby after church for more information and to sign-up. In the past, folks have teamed up to make the prep easier.
