History


In 2003, High Adventure’s Don and Marty McLaughlin visited Uganda to dedicate the new Dunamis 103 FM radio station they had partnered to build with Prayer Palace and Bishop Grivas Musisi. During this time, a site visit to Bishop Musisi’s Nakyessa School/orphanage moved Don and Marty to wait on the Lord for help.

After 40 years of civil war, AIDS and extreme poverty Uganda’s children had become victims on many levels. Bishop Musisi sought to provide Christian based education for these many disadvantaged children and birthed the Nakyessa School in the rural setting of Nakyessa, just 90 km north of Kampala, beginning with the first class under a tree.

International partners were sought, buildings were erected and the school grew. Then in 2003 during the site visit, the real depth of need became apparent to the McLaughlins. There was no water supply, no food supply, no medical support and no visible means of sustaining teachers.


Partners


Water became the first target and soon, strategic partnerships were joined with the Kim Phuc Foundation and the Yorkview Community Church (Canada) to provide water bore hole equipment, leading to a water well. During the process, it became apparent that more than facilities were needed. In fact, empowerment soon became the mandate for each and every project, and from this early effort, sprung forth the commitment to provide the intended specific support goether with training, all of which would lead to empowerment for indigenous partners who are positioned for long term ministry that flows from any and all such projects.

High Adventure has initiated and is currently engaged in many site projects at Nakyessa, including water, medical, agricultural, educational and community development.
