Paula White Ministries Aids Home for Orphans in Uganda

Thursday, June 28, 2007

Paula White Ministries supports the vision of Vicki Yohe Ministries’ New Destiny for Children orphanage, located in Jinja, Uganda—a country that UNICEF estimates to have approximately 2.3 million orphaned children, with as many as a million orphaned by the ravaging disease of AIDS.

Acclaimed worship/gospel singer Vicki Yohe first visited the East African country in the late 1990’s, and felt the move of the Holy Spirit to aid the people she’d met—and come to love—in the poverty-stricken nation. “God has given us a mandate to develop an orphanage…the need there is great,” Yohe states on New Destiny’s website. “Our vision is not for a dusty dwelling to simply house homeless children, but rather we will build a haven of refuge for these young people. It will be a place where they can be educated, cared for and empowered; thus the name: New Destiny for Children.”

The first phase of New Destiny has begun with Julian Mercy House, a property able to accommodate as many as 60 children and staff, but Yohe plans to develop New Destiny into a home that will offer a safe, loving, Christ-centered environment for 1,000 children.

Says Yohe, “My heart is in Uganda with these children, as I know we are raising up leaders that will change Uganda and the continent of Africa. So while some may know me as a psalmist, I feel God has called me to be a missionary in this season of my ministry.”

Vicki recently shared her gratefulness to Pastor Paula and PWM: “Paula, thanks for all you have done for New Destiny for Children! I love you…GOD has His hands all over you!”
