Life in Uganda, East Africa
Children die daily of malnutrition, lack of medical treatment, basic necessities and loving care. Many of the children live in desperate situations, sleeping on dirt floors and becoming infested with lice, fleas and worms. Many will grow up with no education due to a lack of money and resources for public school fees that are extremely little when compared to American standards.
Ministry Overview
Founded in 1999 by Katherine Hines, Hines Ugandan Ministries (HUM) brings a message of hope with the Gospel of Jesus Christ by ministering to the spiritual, physical and practical needs of widows and orphans of Kamonkoli, a village in eastern Uganda. We desire to see these children grow up knowing they have eternal life in Christ and to give them the love that He desires for them. The children are the future of the country, reaching them now will make a difference for each child and for Uganda.
As a youth, Katherine Hines felt God's calling on her life to minister to orphans and was drawn to the country of Uganda. She took the opportunity to visit the country in June 1994. She traveled alone under arrangement with The Africa Christian Training Institute, whom she found through the Urbana Mission Conference in 1990. The village of Kamonkoli (in eastern Uganda) particularly touched her heart and she found that there were few mission agencies serving this area. Again, in July of 1995 Katherine returned to Kamonkoli to minister to the orphans and widows of the community. She officially founded Hines Ugandan Ministries (HUM) in 1999 and continues to serve the village as the Lord leads her and blesses the ministry. The HUM staff, consisting of local believers, assists Katherine in ministering Christ’s love to their community.
