The man behind the mission.
Today after church I had the opportunity to meet Steve, the man who was so inspired by his trip to Mukono in 1999 that on the plane ride back he began to sketch his vision for what became to Humble School in 2004. It never ceases to amaze me how much of a difference just one person can make! Standing in the rain Steve told me about how when he went to the meeting for the church's first international mission he was more than hesitant to sign up, in fact he was the last person to join the mission team. Yet this couragous father of a two year old and a four year old returned to Norther Virgina with a plan!
Humble opened its doors for 116 children in february 2004 and today more than 50 students finished primary school at Humble and are in Secondary Schools around the country. I can only hope that 13 years from now my vision for Humble is a successful as Steve's and the the number of children who graduate from the school continues to grow!
