Watoto Child Care Ministries was formed out the
local Watoto Church in 1994 by founder Gary Skinner due to war torn conditions
in Uganda. "I was reminded of the verse in James 1:27 that says, 'Religion that
God the Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphan
and the widow in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the
world'." Watoto takes a holistic approach to helping orphaned children and
helpless women in Uganda. Its purpose is to rescue individuals, raise each one
to lead, and to rebuild their nation. The Watoto program takes care of the
individual’s medical, educational, psychological, and spiritual needs. Since
the forming of the Watoto Children's Choir, they have travelled worldwide to
advocate for the children of Africa. On Thursday, June 18, they performed at the
St. Daniel’s United Methodist Church in Chester, PA. These children were energetic
singing uplifting music of hope. Their message of hope, if you are feeling
fatherless, remember your true father in heaven.
