Mission Opportunities
Whether it's a life-changing mission to Uganda or Rwanda, hosting a fundraiser in your local community, or providing services to better the lives in our sponsored communities, following the call of Christ to spread His love is a step of servitude.
If you are reading this, then we assume that you have been called, or are at least seriously considering a call, to serve in Africa. Consider yourself blessed by the Lord, as you are preparing to embark (or are seriously considering embarking) on a journey that will reach into the deepest parts of your heart and soul. We are 100% certain that if you follow God’s lead to serve the poor and orphans in Uganda, your life will be changed forever. If you are a bit uncertain about what lies ahead, be encouraged and excited, as God’s gracious favor, along with planning and preparation, will help ensure a successful mission.
Applications are being accepted now for short-term mission trips to Uganda for 2027. These trips can range from one to four weeks and are open to individuals, families, or small groups.

Fundraising
Proverbs 19:17 (ESV)
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed."
Fundraisers come in all shapes and sizes. You can do a lot on your own, but imagine what you can accomplish with the help of others.
The first step for every successful fundraiser is to prayerfully consider the need you would like to help meet. This might include, but is not limited to:
-
providing furniture for a classroom.
-
providing mosquito nets for children who don't have one.
-
purchasing medicines or eyeglasses for a village clinic.
-
providing school supplies for students.
-
buying a pig or goat for a sponsored student.
-
sponsoring a child to attend school for a year.
Once your fundraising purpose is clear, the next step is to think of fun or creative ways to engage your church, school, workplace, team, or organization. A fundraiser can be as simple as a car wash or penny drive, or more involved, such as hosting a 5K race. Whatever you choose, ask God to bless the effort and trust that He will meet the need you have identified.
After deciding what type of fundraiser you will have, set a goal, sign up your business, school, church group, team, or organization, and begin to fundraise. Every amount raised is greatly appreciated. (email info@liveinlightministries.org to sign up)
Raising the money is only part of the fun. Once the project you supported is underway, we will send photos so you can see the children and communities you helped.
