Tumbya Eddy is one of the directors at Gonza House Ministries and has a huge heart for the suffering children of Uganda who have lost hope and don’t know who Jesus is. He has a desire to see lives changed and generations transformed. He really makes everything happen and do so with the most loving and selfless heart.

Edward Rondinel was born and raised in New York City. He’s a man of silence, creativity, a hard worker, a wonderful and generous friend, who loves adventures and travel with loved ones. Edward discovered Gonza House Ministries through Rachael Rukes and together they visited us in November 2017. Edward has truly been a God-send and has been so incredibly important to Gonza House’s growth. He helps with director housing, sponsoring certain events, and he returned to us here in Uganda in November 2018 to help by funding our large chicken coop. We don’t know what we’d do without Edward!

Lea and Louise with Launch Pad in Dorr, Michigan have been a constant show of support and devotion to the orphanage.  Always advocating for the children and organization as a whole.  Their friendship,  compassion and partnership has been a true blessing to everyone here at Gonza House Ministries.
