Shelah and
Jade Acker are CBF missionaries in Kampala, Uganda. Their passion is
ministering to people affected by war and conflict. Watch the CBF video, Ministry
Among Former Child Soldiers, to see how they got their start ministering to
refugees. As you watch, pay close attention to the story of former Sudanese boy
soldier, Saudi Hashim.
Above are the
Ackers with their two young daughters and their extended family of Sudanese
young men. Saudi is next to Shelah. You can read more about the Acker's
ministry at

and
Our FBC in
East Africa team will visit with the Ackers at the Center of Hope in Kampala,
Uganda and work with CBF missionary Missy Ward Angalla. At the Center, our team
will lead a children's program for 100 children, lead a team-building activity
on the beach with teens that study at the Center, and serve at their annual
Christmas Celebration where everyone celebrates the achievements of the refugee
students who study at the Center.
Pray for the
Ackers as they continue to provide for their extended family and develop new
ministries. Pray for these young men as they complete their education. Pray for
our FBC team as they prepare for their trip.
Next week: Missy Ward Angalla and her ministry
to women and girls affected by violence.
