Why Light Academy

Due to HIV/AIDS, war, and poverty, the median age of Ugandans is 16; resulting in a nation of vulnerable children. There is a battle for their souls. Education is the field where this fight will be won for and by Jesus Christ. Realizing this, SFM has moved to further disciple the 4,500+ children within our Christian schools. They must not be abandoned after 7th grade. There are a limited number of high schools (most are secular or Muslim). Light Academy will approach everything from a Biblical worldview with a laser focus on developing passionate Disciples of Christ. Quality Christian education and vocational training are essential weapons in this battle. Together, we can achieve a Christ-centered sustainable future for our children!

Will you help set children free?

Loving the vulnerable, one child at a time.

Current and previous sponsors testify to the blessing of exchanging letters and photographs with their child. Some have experienced the indescribable joy of visiting their child and hugging him or her in person! Praying for your child and knowing your child is praying for you is a further source of comfort and joy.

The gratitude your child will demonstrate to you and for you is precious. The cost to sponsor a child is $30 per month ($45 for a high school student at Light Academy). Given this amount, some friends of Set Free Ministries choose to sponsor more than one child. If you discern God leading you to help a vulnerable child, call 616-726-5400 or email sponsor@setfreeusa.org to sponsor a child.
