Building a Home, Growing a Legacy
A Permanent Home for the Karahukayo Family in Uganda
Dear Friend,
We are Teresha (British) and Israel (Ugandan); we have 4 children: Emerson 19, Wisey 14, Alexi 13, and Ame 8. We are based in Jinja, Uganda, and we believe God has called our family to serve in Uganda for the long term, and today Uganda is the place we proudly call home.
For many years we have faithfully served while renting a house and relying on the generosity of friends and family. We are now taking a significant step of faith by seeking to establish a permanent home that will provide stability for our family and create a sustainable foundation for our ministry through Triumph Heart Organisation.
Writing this letter is one of the biggest steps of faith we have ever taken.
Our vision is about far more than building a house. We desire to create a place where our family can flourish, where people can find encouragement and hospitality, and where we can continue serving our community for generations to come.
We also hope to establish a self-sustaining homestead by growing food, raising chickens for eggs, and keeping dairy cattle. This will help provide long-term sustainability while strengthening our ability to serve others.
Our Vision
Our prayer is to establish a permanent ministry home that will:
* Provide a safe and secure home for our family.
* Serve as a welcoming place for ministry and hospitality.
* Promote self-sustainability through farming and livestock.
* Strengthen the long-term work of Triumph Heart Organisation.
* Leave a lasting legacy of faith, service, and hope for future generations.
Why We Need Your Help
We cannot accomplish this vision alone.
We are inviting individuals, churches, businesses, and charitable organisations to partner with us in making this dream a reality.
Every gift, regardless of its size, will help move this project forward.
If you are unable to contribute financially, we would be deeply grateful for your prayers and for sharing our story with others.
Together, we can build far more than a house. We can establish a home that will continue serving people for many years to come.
