Marcia Baugh

  • ECM Missionary Since: 2011
  • Ministry: The Way Home, Uganda
  • Based In: Michigan, USA

Having already served four years in Uganda, Russ and Marcia Baugh came to Every Child Ministries as experienced missionaries. Russ was country director for Rafiki Foundation Children’s Village, and he and Marcia were teaching leaders for Bible Study Fellowship. Upon joining ECM in 2010, they began ministering to dozens of grannies and several hundred grandchildren.  Together they started The Way Home ministry to provide support and training for grandmothers raising their orphaned grandchildren.

Initially, Russ and Marcia lived in Uganda and oversaw the work directly.  In more recent years, however, they were based in the US, spending about a quarter of their time in Uganda in order to oversee the ministry. While in the US, they monitored and gave direction to Ugandan staff, and raised funds for the work. Russ’s untimely death in 2021 has not changed Marcia’s resolve to continue on with the work that God had called both her and Russ to.  She continues to provide leadership for The Way Home ministry and is committed to promoting the ministry in the future.

The Way Home offers extensive Bible teaching, Farming God’s Way training, 3–5 year follow-up mentoring, and preventative nursing care. The Way Home’s latest project, The Discipleship Center, creates an invested physical presence between two regions. One region has a very high incidence of witchcraft and ancestral worship while the other has an Islamic presence. There will also be a church planted next to the Discipleship Center. Here are a few of the activities that regularly take place at the Discipleship Center:

  • Farming God’s Way seminars
  • Bible club for community children
  • Adult community Bible study
  • Training using a Farming God’s Way demonstration garden
  • Workshops for the granny homes construction carpenters
  • Housing for Ugandan staff
  • Housing for missionaries and visitors

As you can see, Marcia and her team have a very big job ahead of them. In fact, it is a job that is humanly impossible! It is a God-sized job. Will you pray for them? Will you give to help them help Uganda’s AIDS orphans through the Way Home project?
