VISION OVERVIEW:
The overall purpose of Say Yes International is to support pastors of churches who have a heart to help orphans and widows with the basic needs of life – food, clothing, and shelter. We desire to bring people together to help serve the poor and needy in specific areas such as agriculture, establishing businesses, training centers, sanitation, digging wells, construction, medical, etc. Say Yes is actively engaged in funding businesses for poor families in the bush. Some examples include: piggeries, hair salons, second-hand clothing sales, tailoring, repair shops, agricultural projects, food kiosks, chickens and cows, and more.
Education is key in helping future generations create incomes for their families and communities. We provide funds for tuition and training fees to families unable to pay.
We have joined with pastors who have demonstrated themselves to be trustworthy in ministry. They are actively responding to what the Word says about helping the helpless and the fatherless. These same men and women of God are in great need themselves and yet they continue to reach out to others in the same desperate situations. We are honored to come alongside them and will continue to build relationship with those God puts in our path.
Clean water is an ever-pressing need in Uganda rural areas. Say Yes wants to provide water filters to families and drill wells for communities.
The Word of God says in James 1:27 (Amplified Bible): External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world.”
James 2:14-17 (Amplified Bible): What is the benefit, my fellow believers, if someone claims to have faith but has no [good] works [as evidence]? Can that [kind of] faith save him? [No, a mere claim of faith is not sufficient—genuine faith produces good works.] If a brother or sister is without [adequate] clothing and lacks [enough] food for each day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace [with my blessing], [keep] warm and feed yourselves,” but he does not give them the necessities for the body, what good does that do? 17 So too, faith, if it does not have works [to back it up], is by itself dead [inoperative and ineffective].
The purpose of Say Yes International is not just a “social gospel.” We believe we should feed the poor and clothe the naked; but everything we are doing has an end result of sharing the Gospel of Christ.
