Leah and Grace

Leah sponsors Grace through our church partner, New Life Church in Chicago. This summer Leah was able to meet Grace in Uganda. When Leah arrived at the Ministry CarePoint she was warned that Grace would be shy at first. As Leah walked into Grace’s classroom, she writes, “I spotted Grace and then she came around the table with flowers and a card for me; she hugged me right away and was trying to hide the emotion on her face. It is a moment I will never forget.” Leah spent the rest of the day with Grace, visited her home, and met her Grandma. Leah also learned more of Grace’s story; she only has two remaining relatives, and both of her parents have passed away. “But it was such a testament to God’s hand in everything and His divine timing as I started sponsoring her [Grace] within weeks of her dad’s passing.” For Leah, meeting Grace was such an amazing experience, “I had heard stories of people meeting their sponsor child, but I never imagined how powerful it really is. It left me in awe, seeing how God used one act of obedience to impact the life of a child and her grandmother all for the glory of God.”
