In Uganda, 81 children are orphaned every day. 
The Rev. Bucky Rogers said God called his family to prepare a place for those children.

Benjamin House Ministries is a grassroots effort to care for orphans in Uganda.
Rogers, executive director of Benjamin House, said he and his wife, Julie, have known for years that they would spend their lives in service of orphans. The couple built their family of five through adoption, including a child with special needs.
After a mission trip in 2013, Rogers, a pastor at Anderson Mill Road Baptist, said it became clear God was calling his family to move to Uganda and start an orphan-care ministry to meet the ever-growing need there.
“Julie and I have determined that we don’t really own anything that we have and so we feel like we need to share it with the people around us,” Rogers, 34, said. “We’re just not going to sit in comfort when there’s somebody out there that needs us or needs to talk. Over the course of your life, you’re going to have hundreds of opportunities to invest in things. Some will be for you. Some will be for others. There are children dying every day. Children who have never known what it’s like to have a home. You have the opportunity to make a difference. To change that statistic. To become a forever family to a child you’ll never meet, and I think that’s worth investing in.“
This global launch of Benjamin House Ministries, which will include the world premiere of a short documentary, will begin a fundraising effort to build the ministry in Uganda.
Special guest for the event will be presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
As a former Baptist pastor, Huckabee has a special interest in overseas missionary work. Huckabee was the 44th governor of Arkansas, serving from 1996 until 2007.
Rogers, a pastor of students and worship arts, has served as student pastor of Anderson Mill since 2006.
