Upcoming Mission Trip to Uganda
On June 4, 2010, a group of men and women from St. Philip's UMC of Houston will travel to Uganda, Africa to serve alongside Christian-Cultural Awareness and Assistance League to seek a deeper understanding of Christianity in the context of a particular culture. Our mission team leaders will be Mr. Christian Wabara, Rev. Phoebe Wabara, and Mrs. Jane Walker.
The mission will include visiting hospitals and ministering to patients, working with children, door to door evangelism, food distribution to orphans and prisoners, attending a service in a local church, teaching a workshop and /or other assigned tasks. The traveling team will have many opportunities to visit amazing tourist sites such as the Bujagari Falls, the source of the Nile, the Agaba beach, as well as attending a cultural show, visit an African village, the Uganda Museum and the city of Kampala with opportunities to shop for African art.
The cost of this trip (June 4-16, 2010) will be approximately 2,610 dollars (this includes a return airfare ticket, accommodations and meals, local transportation, tourist sites and entry visa fees). This is only a short-term trip but it has the possibility of impacting you for a lifetime.
An opportunity to help raise money for this trip will be offered soon.

C-CAAL Programs
C-CAAL offers three specific programs to the community.
1. PROVIDING ENGLISH AS A THIRD LANGUAGE TO REFUGEES IN HOUSTON
English as a Third Language (ETL) is a program that teaches Basic English language, for conversation, reading and writing purposes. ETL is intended to provide to refugees all tools they need to learn how to communicate in the English language and express themselves in different situations. Also, the project seeks to empower them and to help them integrate smoothly into the American life and enjoy the freedom and opportunities available in the country. Furthermore, it prepares them for obtaining the American citizenship. Since most of these refugees have never been in school, ETL is the fastest way of bringing them to an elementary level education.
Currently, C-CAAL is looking for donors to sponsor the ETL course.
The course is provided by a qualified faculty that speak 3 to 5 foreign languages including the native language of the students. Most students migrated to Houston from the Great Lakes Region of Africa due to war and ethnic conflicts. They speak at least two African languages but do not speak English. These families are struggling to cope and make a life in the United States but without the language they are frustrated. They want to learn English but due to lack of basic elementary education they do not succeed in ESL classes. C-CAAL offered course is meeting their needs but due to lack of employment, most prospective students are not able to pay for it.
THIS COMMUNITY NEED YOUR HELP!
To become a sponsor, please contact us. The cost for each student is $75.
2. ISANO MINISTRY
The Isano Ministry is provided by Rev. Phoebe Wabara with the objective of empowering a group of Burundian Women, residing in Southwest Houston, whose lives have been affected by Ethnic Conflict.
The program includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:
*Teaching them Basic English
*Providing pastoral care
*Providing language interpretation and translation when needed,
*Providing other type of assistance such as help at the pharmacy store, reading food labels, providing transportation etc.
The idea of ISANO, (a Kinyarwanda word) in Phoebe's native language and culture is expressed in the expressions of "Uguhana amaboko" meaning "giving each other’s arms" or "Ugufata mu mugongo" which literally means "holding someone’s back."
3. CHILD SPONSORS
TABARA is an educational assistance program designed to help children in places that are suffering from the effects of ethnic conflict, war and violence. At C-CAAL, we believe strongly that the most effective way for long-term change to occur in places that are suffering from ethnic conflicts and war is for one sponsor to take an active interest in the educational life of one child.
Rationale:
When we look at the life of Jesus Christ on earth, we come to a realization that His messianic mission and message is addressed to the whole complex of socio-human life in His day. His teaching is implicated with specific human hurts and concerns, bringing dignity, meaning and hope to people. Jesus overrode cultural, racial, and traditional categories, which were used to evaluate people [John 4:6-26].
Change a child's world! Your tax-deductible contribution of just $30 a month provides to your sponsored child educational opportunities, programs that teach important life skills; and most important of all, your child hears about the good news of Jesus Christ and is encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God. Sponsoring a child will profoundly change the future for your child and will change your own life in the process.
You can start sponsoring a child today. C-CAAL partners, Julius and Harriet Ananura of Reach the Un-Reached Ministry in Uganda have a long waiting list of children waiting for your help! Contact us for more information.
C-CAAL is inviting you to respond to this great need and assist a child whose life has been affected by ethnic conflict, war and violence. In Matthew 10:42, Jesus said that whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of water to drink, truly shall not lose his or her reward.
