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
Liam
Missions Minister
