RAINING HOPE - UGANDA
Happy 15th Anniversary!
Godfrey our Manager
To our Dear Friends, Sponsors and Partners:
Special greetings to you, all our dear friends, sponsors and partners. We are so thankful to God for this our 15th anniversary of Raining Hope Ministries. It wouldn’t have been possible without all your love and support towards the ministry over the years.
In a special way, I would like to extend my sincere thankfulness to all of you for the great work that you have done and continue to do for the good of the ministry. There are many children that are still broken, hurting and confused and without hope on our side of the world. Yet, God has used you to bring hope to those that are with us here at Raining Hope.
You have impacted this world by adding a better page in the lives of those we care for through Raining Hope Ministries. Your kindness and support have bought smiles on many faces and hope to the hopeless.
Thank you for helping our students realize their dreams and have a meaningful life full of hope. They have been taken care of in all aspects through your support. We have those who have graduated from university and higher institutions of learning. This year we shall have three more students formally graduate and one next year in January.
We help meet their basic needs from food to medication to clothing and much more. We empower them with life skills and help them know God and even serve in the church ministry according to their purpose and call.
There is just so much that has been done as a family. Yet, all this can only be possible through your support and prayers. We have faced new policies that the government bought up for the good of charity organizations and the children we help. This came with so much need on our side to comply with their new policies. You didn’t hesitate to stand with us to ensure that we do meet the compliance needs to remain open. Our hearts are so filled with praise to God and thankfulness for all your kindness and love towards the Raining Hope family.
Thank you for trusting Mum Kisakye Eydie and standing with the vision that is endowed on her by the Lord. She many times mentions your love and kindness and how much you stand by our side.
We love you and continually pray for you that the Lord will satisfy you with long life.
Happy 15th Anniversary!

Meet Godfrey - Raining Hope Manager
My name is Godfrey, born on December 24,1984. Both my parents passed on when I was at age 9. It was such a hard time for me as child. I stayed with my step mother who tortured me both physically and psychologically.
Because of too much suffering, I retreated to the streets begging for leftover foods and sleeping with friends in unfinished buildings. This kind of life saw me with bad youth groups that were notorious and doing unlawful things.
It was in that kind of state that the Lord called me to salvation when I was 15 years of age. I joined Cornerstone Baptist Church where I was groomed in the Word of God.
It is there that I met a wonderful mother, Eydie Kisakye who had come from California on a mission’s trip. Mum Eydie helped me in many ways even seeing me through my wedding with Irene who is my wife to taking care of us. God put our hearts together as we share many things in common as far as ministry is concerned.
I have a heart for the orphans and other less privileged children and youth. It’s a heart that God put upon me based on what I suffered. I want to see many heads of suffering children and youths lifted up in triumphal hope and dreams restored the very thing Mum Eydie Kisakye is living for. No wonder God binds our hearts around the same desire he put in both of us.
It is in this Spirit that God chose to make me part of Raining Hope as manager through Mum Kisakye. Since then, there has been an awakening in the lives of many here in Uganda. Our children and young adults are going to school, joining institutions, are healthy and their dreams are coming true.
My life and family have been changed over the years as I am part of this noble cause that the Lord is doing in Raining Hope. My dream is to reconcile men to God through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and to help many live in a real relationship with God. It is always my prayer to be a faithful preacher. I have seen this happen over time even as I serve with Raining Hope.
God grows me daily as I lead and take care of his people. It is such a noble task and great opportunity to serve others and be part of God’s activity in them.
I therefore, in a special way want to thank my Mum Kisakye for the unwavering love and care that she renders unto us as we mark our 10th anniversary. I thank all the friends, and partners for the great support of love over time. May God richly bless you all for making me who I am today and becoming every day.
When our time here on the earth is done, our works of kindness will follow us. It is such a noble task to live one entire life for rebuilding lives and restoring hope. Thank you all for your kindness and generosity. We hold you all with the highest regard.
Happy 10TH Anniversary
With love, Godfrey
