Our Vision and Mission
Our goal is to provide single individuals with the training and resources needed to gain independence and build a legacy. We are committed to creating a safe, nurturing place where men, women, and children can heal, grow, and experience Christ’s love through a supportive faith community.
Our goal is to uplift single mothers through vocational training, education, and tools and resources to equip their children including special needs children. While Taylor will be working with the women and special needs children, Fred will be focusing on skipping the men and teaching the children in the way of the LORD, turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers. Rgight now, many families here live with deep distrust, and women have very few rights. We long to see homes marked instread with love, respect and safety.

Fred and Taylor will be doing their ministry under John and Pauline Kamanzi in Uganda. While there, Taylor will be teaching families how to see the beauty of their children with special needs, rather than believing it’s a curse. Fred will be preaching the Gospel at other schools. Fred will be along Taylor’s side while she leads focusing on helping the single mothers to become self-sufficient so their children and families do not suffer. Fred will primarily focus on discipling the men. While there, they long to see every person within their community have the chance to have their stories be documented, heard, and valued. Along with teaching, Taylor and Fred desire to teach some of their hobbies such as photography skills, farming, and sewing skills, to the women and children. Fred and Taylor’s plan to put together a book of the community's valuable stories and their journey to Christ.
Taylor was raised in a small town called Flagler, Co. She will be moving to Uganda at the end of Summer where she will take her skills as a special needs teacher to teach in Uganda. She will be teaching single women work skills and academics to become self-sufficient along with special needs children with her fiancé, Fred, this fall in Uganda. As a licensed special education teacher, she will bring new tools, strategies, and a new positive perspective to the culture in Uganda, equipping of children with special needs to help them thrive.
Fred is born and raised in Uganda and has a heart for the older youth teaching them history. His heart is to transform the culture to teach life skills to the single mothers and children to see his nation have a better future. Fred was born in Mubende, Western Uganda, and was raised in Kampala. He was introduced to Taylor some years ago by a common spiritual mentor, Pastor Moses, who saw the same hearts cry in both of them. Pastor Moses, connected them to encourage them both, as they shared a vision to see Uganda transformed for hope.
Taylor and Fred are combining their gifts and passions to teach single women , children and men academics such as learning English and work skills to become self-sufficient. Fred will primarily focus on mentoring the men, while Taylor focuses on the Women. Their passion is to translate and prepare special needs education materials for Uganda, and help with the orphanages run by the Kamanzi’s. At this time, Taylor will be teaching the children each day at their school. Fred will be preaching the Gospel at multiple schools and will join Bishop Kamanzi with his duties when needed.
In Uganda, Fred and Taylor will be walking by faith as they preach the Word of God and extend God’s love to those who have the least - the single mothers, either widowed or abandoned, the children who need love so dearly, and the discipleship of the men.

Growth & Sustainability 2027-2028
Taylor and Fred are receiving training and disciple training under John and Pauline's Ministry for a period of time until we are able to independently launch our own ministry. We are aiming between 2028-2029 to launch our ministry with John Kamanzis blessings.
The vision is to launch an independent ministry that will need land.
The plan is to incorporate the ministry and establish board members to oversee the ministry. We are planning on asking current and former ministries to guide and hold us accountable. We plan to establish the articles of confederation and bylaws of our ministry to file in Uganda.
For the second phase, we will need to buy land for farm education along with the ministry headquarters and a house for our family to live and steward. We will be training single mothers how to support their families and break the cycle of poverty. We desire to not only help the women become self-sufficient, but the ministry itself, while helping the community in which the farm will be located to prosper. Taylor is planning on helping bring special needs education resources to Uganda, equipping women with the skills they need, especially for single mothers of special needs children.
Fred plans to teach the men the skills they need for more efficient farming methods. Through leadership and teaching them how to honor and respect women in their marriages and relationships. He will do this while working to ensure that the ministry farm is run such that the prosperity of the farm can lead to the growth of the ministry.
While serving, it is Fred and Taylors vision to equip and tell the stories of the beautiful Uganda people, and share them on youtube so that YOU can be part of the story of the transformation of Uganda one story at a time - sharing how the transformation and skills - baking, sewing, farming, and education brings hope to Uganda.
Our vision in five years is to have the farm, a school for special needs children, and a center where the women of the community especially the single mothers can learn skills to prosper.
What do we need so that:
-
Women who've never been listened to can finally be heard and valued.
-
Lives can be changed as we teach, mentor, and walk alongside them in faith.
-
The impoverished can be empowered to build micro-businesses.
-
We want every person we serve to discover their own worth and walk in real freedom. They will sour on wings like eagles as Isaiah puts it.
We need to:
-
Buy acrage for the farm for both livestock and crops
-
Build a school for special needs children and others in the community on the farm acrage or in the nearby village / town
-
Grow crops on the farm to enable the farm to support the school such as coffe, maize, and avacados.
-
Have livestock on the farm
-
Establish a loan business for single women to be self sufficent
-
Equipment for the school + vocational training such as sewing machines, cameras, baking supplies, desks, books, and computers.
