About Us

How it all began . . . flag

In September of 2007, Renee Bach traveled to Uganda, Africa to volunteer at an orphanage in the town of Jinja.

While there, Renee truly fell in love with the people and culture of Uganda! 

Although she was involved in many different areas of missions in Uganda, one thing stuck the most . . .

It all started with two fellow volunteers who decided to start a temporary feeding project in a village outside of the town of Jinja.  Although they didn’t know where the time, money, or staff to run the program were going to come from, they knew that those things were very small in comparison to the real problem at hand; the children of Masese were sick and dying of malnutrition, dirty water, and disease.  The poverty in which these people live is unthinkable. Masese is the “slum” of the Jinja area, and the residents live in huts made of trash, termite hills, and mud.

“When we first started visiting Masese, the children would crowd around us so tightly they would knock us down and grab at the food we were carrying. They would fight and riot in fear of not receiving a meal. The littlest children would cry and run away from the “white people.” They were stepped on, shoved, and pushed. Some of these children go more than two days without eating.”

The children of Masese are hungry, but they aren’t just hungry for girlbeans and rice.  They are hungry for something more, something better, something that can change their future and give them a hope like none other . . . Jesus Christ!

So, in the fall of 2008 Renee started Serving His Children, a non-profit organization, with the intent to return to Masese and do just that; show, be, teach, love, and share Jesus with the  people of Masese!
