Uganda

Missions Update


Hi there, I wanted to briefly notify you of our present mission to Uganda. I will be travelling on Thursday the 1st October and other team members travelled last week or this. Its an important time in the development of the work there. On a practical level we will be fencing the 5 acres of land to provide security for all the projects and this will allow us to focus next year on developing the site further. All the projects are running including several new goat offspring. During this trip we will be graduating 30 of our Community Health Workers who have all been trained at Village level accreditation. The next stage will be for them to begin health education and assessment work in there local church communities. This is an exciting time and opportunity for genuine impact.

On a spiritual level each of the local leadership teams of people representing the different ministries such as Childrens ministry, Evangelism etc have been implementing the Stepping Out Programme with excellent results.


 

The local churches are being strengthened and added to and a genuine grass roots level training is impacting the local church community. I will be meeting with 150-300 local leaders to envision and broaden the ministry of the Stepping Out Programme and it promises to be an empowering time all round.

A team visited in early September to visit all 8 prisons we are working with in northern Uganda (and a couple extra!). The responses were quite astounding with over 600 personal commitments and significant relief items bought.

What is important to understand is that all the committments whether children or prison inmates come into relationship with the local church and ministry teams working together from the local churches. This creates not only a sense of ownership but genuine relationship with the people.

Please continue to pray for us and with us in this vital work. We never underestimate or undervalue the potential and power of the gospel to impact lives at all levels. This is a time I believe when God wants to raise up a generation of leaders in Uganda and Africa that will significantly impact their nations not only in revival but in reform.

Every blessing and in appreciation
