Watoto Children's Ministries is a ministry near and dear to my heart. In 1998 and 1999 I went with short term teams from my church in Nashville to Kampala, Uganda to work with Kampala Pentecostal Church to put on a kids camps for these children. Watoto is a children's ministry in which children who's parents have died from AIDS are placed in homes of parents whose children have died of AIDS. Together, in Christ, they form a new family. At Watoto, they are shown the love of Christ, taught about God's word and given an opportunity to eat, sleep and go to school in a safe place. Watoto also rescues child soldiers from nearby villages, rehabilitates them and allows them to be a kid again in the freedom and love of Christ!
Here's a film project acted,filmed, directed and produced by Christians from a church called Oasis Church in California who are supporting Watoto Children's Ministries in Uganda. (The young white guy is a friend of ours from SC.) You can watch the trailor for the film and then there's an option to buy the film if you want to support the Uganda Film Project. The money goes directly to help children in Uganda, Africa this Christmas. The dvd will be mailed directly to your house. Please help support the Uganda Film Project and make a difference in someone's life this Christmas. To view the webiste and order the film, go to http://www.onepersonmovie.org/. And to pause the music on the blog so you can view the movie clip, scroll down and hit pause.
How beautiful. Thank you for sharing. We are studying Christmas around the world and today we are landing in France. You have been on my mind and in my prayers as I have been preparing. Sadly, I can't even pronounce the French version of Merry Christmas-Joyeux noel-right? But we'll have a good time trying! We're going to try to make a chocolate yule log. We'll see how it goes!

Beautiful was a funny word to describe the post. But I meant the idea of the adoptions, not so much the movie. But the movie is very exciting! :)
