| Madina Birungi |
Walking past garbage heaps was a daily occurrence for Madina
Mukabaliisa, an elderly woman living near the town of Kamuli in eastern
Uganda. But on this day, God had
something special in mind for this woman of faith. As she walked past, she saw
a group of people trying to open a plastic bag. She wondered why everyone was so interested.
Then she heard the cry of a newborn baby, and watched as the bag was opened and
the child, for a second time, was delivered.
Madina then surprised everyone by volunteering to care for the child
until a new family could be found. When a new family was not found, she continued to care for the child, naming her Madina,
after herself, and Birungi, meaning “something beautiful.”
Several years later, this beautiful child was welcomed into
the ECM family, where your support allows her to remain in
school and attend Bible club, receiving nutritious meals, learning life skills,
and experiencing the love of God.
Beautiful things like this happen throughout ECM’s projects
because you have a heart….
- A heart for Madina
- A heart for African children and families struggling to find hope
- A heart for rescuing the broken and outcast
- A heart for bringing the good news of Jesus to a needy world
