Vulnerable Children & Families Outreach

Show Mercy was founded in 2004 when our founders traveled to Uganda, Africa on a short term mission trip. Their hearts were moved with compassion and Show Mercy was birthed. We now have a 40+ acre missions base that’s hosts hundreds of people every year for both short term missions, internships and long term missions opportunities.

Our mission is to mobilize, inspire and empower people to live on purpose while reaching out in love. We believe that everyone was created by God with a special purpose and plan. Our goal is to see that purpose discovered, nurtured and fulfilled. Our long term staff team does daily and weekly consistent ministry in surrounding villages. We love hosting teams and individuals, and having them join our long term team!

Where

We will pick you up at the Entebbe International Airport in Kampala. You will be brought to our beautiful base just North of Kampala, where you will stay the duration of your trip. Everyday our team visits local surrounding villages to do ministry. You will have an opportunity to serve in multiple capacities, and visit multiple villages depending on your interests. Your meals will be provided on base by our cook, and at the end of your stay we will take you back to the airport. We look forward to hosting you!

When

Our local team operates in consistent ministries every week. Join when it is most convenient for you (and your team if you are serving with one). We host individuals and teams throughout the entire year.

Skills

Come with a willing heart to learn and to serve. If a specific outreach requires a specific skill, our long term staff will help equip you.
