The Uganda Children's Project began in 2001 when a nurse from Uganda shared stories of the children orphaned by AIDS in her country. She already had four children of her own, and had adopted three others.

She asked Jim and Lisa Steele for help raising money to pay for their school fees. Jim and Lisa Steele found sponsors for those kids and a few weeks later received a request for 58 more sponsors, then 154 more, and the Uganda Children's Project was born. Today the Project has grown to nearly 300 sponsored kids. Jim and Lisa, along with David Wahlstedt travel yearly to Uganda to oversee the staff who administer the Project in Uganda. Crosspointe sends teams to Uganda yearly and raises funds through various activities as part of it's Stategic Missional Partnership with the Uganda Children's Project.
