Transformed

Bishop Hannington of Uganda attended a conference in Kampala where God inspired him with the beauty of the "grace of giving." Back home in Bundibugyo, he communicated the vision of heartfelt generosity to his people. 


Then their town was destroyed by violence. After living miserably in refugee camps for two years, the devastated people went back to Bundibugyo and put generosity to work.

"Slowly and steadily, transformation happened. Churches and schools were rebuilt, generosity continued to spread, skills and resources were shared and invested, wealth was created, and the community began to revive."


"No longer waiting for outside relief, the grace of giving replaced a welfare mentality and an entire town was rebuilt." "Giving is transformational," says Bishop Harrington.
