6.8.5. Initiative Ministry
In Partnership with Pambazuka Ministires Uganda
Psalm 68:5
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling.
God has called us all to minister to the suffering people in the world. Although we may not be able to help everyone who is hurt or suffering in the world, we can change the life of one suffering woman at a time. There is no greater task than to relieve someone else's pain.
We strive to help Christians live out Psalm 68:5 in real life by creating a beautiful healing environment
for the women
living at the Selah Rescue Center.
We covet your prayers as we move out in service to suffering women in Uganda.
Our Mission:
685 Initiative joins forces with
Pambazuka Ministries Uganda
The 6.8.5. Initiative has joined forces with Pambazuka Ministries Uganda to stand in the gap for these vulnerable women in Uganda by offering them hope and a life redeemed. The 6.8.5. Initiative will accomplish this by managing, supporting, and facilitating the care of the women at the Selah Rescue Center. The Selah Rescue Center houses small groups of teen mothers and their children, as well as several homeless elderly widows. You can read more about the Selah Rescue Center below.
The Selah Rescue Center
The Selah Rescue Center is a facility that houses hurting and forgotten women while the Pambazuka Ministry staff offers restoration, redemption, emotional, spiritual, and physical healing from sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, teenage pregnancies, forced marriages, domestic violence, hunger, poverty, shame, etc.
Groups of approximately 15 teen mothers will come and live at the Selah Rescue Center for approximately 6 months while they learn tailoring, hair dressing, literacy skills, parenting skills, health/hygiene education, proper nutrition, business training and spiritual support before returning with their children back to the village with their heads held high. The hope is that this new set of skills will set them up for success as they returned rescued, renewed, and redeemed.
The widows will reside permanently at the Selah Rescue Center as a peaceful resting place to call home and a place where they receive proper nutrition, medical care, and love in their final years. Selah Rescue Center is a place where hurting and forgotten women come to discover their worth in God's eyes as well as discover how much God loves them.
This is the house where the elderly widows reside while at the Selah Rescue Center.
