Shining the Light
Shining the Light Ministry, started by ECM missionary Linda Moore, focuses on bringing hope where there is no hope, and the love of Christ into the lives of the deaf; those living with albinism; the disabled; and the vulnerable. In 2020, Shining the Light completed its first tailoring course which broke cultural barriers by training those with disabilities. Youth and children with disabilities are given a hand up, not just a handout.
Ugandans want to work, they want to learn skills, they want to be busy, they want better lives. We offer those skills and opportunities. Over the years we have witnessed lives changed. Hope brought into hopeless situations. Children start to dream about what their futures could hold. God and his infinite goodness has blessed the work of our hands. Women are now able to provide for their families, and youth are off the streets and busy with new skills.
Uganda has a long list of handcrafts and skills: tailoring, machine knitting, pottery, shoe making, basket and mat weaving, soapstone carving and painting, cow horn carving, beadwork bags, bag weaving and crochet. These skills can change the course of poverty in families and the future of the youth. God is faithful! We are doing great things and impacting lives in our community.
Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
