Mezuzahs: Blessing the Kids' Paths at UOCC

 

Several years ago, during the height of COVID, I traveled alone to visit the children at Ugandan Orphan Childcare Ministries (UOCC). One of the teachings I shared was from Deuteronomy—how the kings of Israel were required to write the entire Torah by hand, keep it with them, and read it daily.

I challenged the children to do the same.

To my surprise and deep awe, every single child—except baby Gracious—handwrote the entire Torah within six months. I wasn’t told until I arrived… and my heart sank. I had nothing to give them as a gift to show them how special that was! I had promised them a gift and they are still waiting.

This year, I want to change that.

As I prepare to return in less than two weeks, I’m raising funds to bring a special gift: car mezuzahs for each child’s bunk bed—a symbolic and powerful reminder of God’s protection and their spiritual journey ahead.

“For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” – Psalm 91:11

These mezuzahs cost just $6 each. With speedy shipping ($20) to ensure they arrive before my flight, the total needed is $455.71.

Would you consider sponsoring one or more mezuzahs to bless these precious children?

 

73 Mezuzahs = $455.71 Total

Deadline: Within the next few days (I fly out very soon!)

Every donation matters—no gift is too small.

 

Let’s fill every bunk bed at UOCC with a daily reminder of faith, protection, and purpose. Thank you for being part of this blessing.
