The churches are wide spread in Uganda including refugee camps, the two bordering countries of Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.

“Before I Joined this program, I always desired to plant churches but was limited by the technical knowhow. We only had two churches by then. From March 2016 when I joined the program to date, we have planted six churches; four in refugee camps, one in D.R. Congo and the other in Rwanda.” Says semivumbi Stephen one of the church planters.

As we concluded the church planter program in Ibanda, we yet launched a new program in Isingiro district in the south western part of Uganda.

FOUNDER

Hello Beloved Partner,

Glad tidings in the mighty name of Jesus; I pray that all is well.

Allow me bring to you this report concerning the different ministry activities for May 2017. This month has been awesome filled with different ministry activities but new doors of opportunities opening before us. I am truly excited because such opportunities have not ceased to come our way as the Lord enables us take over new different regions of Uganda.

We pray that in sharing this report, you will like we do be encouraged.

CHILDREN MINITRY PROGRAM

TRAINING

This month, we trained a total of 115 children workers from 45 churches in Kampala city centre and Kabimbiri community one and a half hour drive away south of Kampala city. This training program focused on equipping the trainees with skills pertaining to child evangelism, lesson preparation and presentation, worship, establishment of children friendly church and community bible club.

The church has had a little impact in reaching and addressing the spiritual, social and economic challenges affecting these communities although they are a fertile ground for the gospel and outreach programs. It’s for this reason that we have set our focus on reaching and impacting these slum communities.

THE COMMUNITY BIBLE CLUB

This month through the community bible club programs, a total of 321 children have been reached with the gospel through child evangelism, scripture placement and love activities through 5 community bible clubs.  A total of 103 children surrendered their lives to Christ with 63 of these already adopted into the bible clubs.

THE CHURCH PLANTER TRAINING PROGRAM

This month we undertook the module 4 training program with 26 church planters in South-western Uganda. The objective of the skills training was to help the Church Planters identify, train/ mentor and empower emerging and new Ministry leaders to active ministry in the Church and market place in accordance with Ephesians 4: 11-13.

 Finding and developing right leaders in Church and community in Africa remain a challenging task as the clock ticks away from the 21st century. This has solemnly been due to cases of insecurity, mistrust and lack of examples set from previous leaders on passing on leadership. In the church planter context, our emphasis is not The Leader, but on Leadership which is the art and not the personality. This involves a process of intentionally enabling and supporting the emergence of new and young leaders to positions of leadership and influence.

OUTREACHES AND DISCIPLESHIP

This month, through the outreach and discipleship programs, we reached a total of 823 people through the community evangelism programs including minis crusades, scripture placement and door to door evangelism. A total of 167 people surrendered their lives to Christ with 88 of the converts adopted into the churches and small groups.  A total of 46 people were won to Christ through the small groups this month. This was though an initiative of community door to door evangelism undertaken by the small groups in Rwamwanja refugee camp.

There was one church plant recorded this month. This w as in Kamwenge south western Uganda after an evangelistic outreach program that resulted In the church plant and establishment of a small group in the community.

SCRIPTURE PLACEMENT

This month, we distributed a consignment of 250 “that I may know Him booklets, 500 Raising hope booklets and 3,825 tracts and gospel booklets.

Many communities both Christian dominated and not are faced with the challenge of bibles and other scripture potions. It’s a common phenomenon to find that the bible to people ration in a given church is 1:20. In many of the rural churches it’s only the pastor who owns a bible. Many of the believers cannot afford to buy one and even when able the distance to the nearest store is great.

PRAYER REQUESTS

As you pray for the ministry, please endeavour to

• Dedicate our next programs slated for May unto the Lord. These include The Church Planter training programs, Children ministry trainings, outreaches and the community bible programs.
• Also pray that God will open doors for bibles to meet the increased need for bibles in communities and for the communities programs initiated through different church planters.
• Lift the different church planters unto the Lord praying specifically for provision, patience and wisdom I executing all that they are doing.

Partners like you are the life blood for the mission work here and it’s because of your prayers, support and encouragement that we have had the courage and determination to keep keeping on. We are therefore grateful to God for you and the support you have given us that keep us going and reaching different children and youth in the communities.

May Jesus therefore fill your barns with blessings and increase you in every area of your life. 

Yours Sincerely

WAY FORWARD                         

As we set to continue building the different programs established this year. We plan to broaden the scope of these programs by replicating the programs I the different districts and communities across Uganda. Below is a summary of some of the ministry strategic plans.

Church Planting: We thank the Lord for enabling us successfully graduate 23 Church planters, plant over 45 churches and establish over 130 Small groups in communities through the church planters program. Over vision for next year is to establish over 5 similar programs in three districts and two refugee camps. Strengthening the viability of the church planters program through training and expanding the scope of the church planter programs.

The Children Ministry Program. We have a bigger vision of establishing this program across Africa. In doing this, we are establishing the Africa Children ministry (ACM) that is going to take effect starting Jabuary 2017. The program focuses on teaching a Christ-centred, theologically sound curriculum with Christ at the centre of what we’re teaching by teaching the absolute truth of the Bible in its entirety, training the next generation of Christians and equipping them to go out into communities, schools, families, orphanages, prisons, refugee camps but also creating child friendly programs like Community bible clubs, VBS/after school and related programs so as to equip children to go out into the world and to be Christ effecting change and bringing transformation in Africa. The Goal of the program is not just to give children a faith that they would have to come back to, but a relationship that would keep them connected to Christ for their whole life.

The Disability Ministry: We have developed the following Emergency Response and Development Plan for the disability program in Uganda. The Ministry to people with Disabilities Plan (MPWDP) is intended to respond to the physical and spiritual needs of 550 people with disability in five districts of Uganda. The project for the start will be scalable to a fewer districts based on available funds undertaken with long-term considerations on rehabilitation, recovery and development integrating the physical and spiritual needs of the affected population must under-gird planning and implementation.

Leadership Develop in Prisons: We still plan on with the plan to train prison cadets at the prisons training school with leadership and discipleship skills to establish small groups and churches upon being passed as prison workers at the different prison facilities around the country. This is an opportunity to reach and engage inmates with the Gospel and disciple them while still in prison through and by the Cadets.

Establish Training and Guest House Facilities. This is a plan we look forward to implement in the near future on the 10 acre piece of land the Lord has blessed the ministry with. This will cut the cost of hiring training and guest house facilities for the different programs but also enable the ministry grow its magnitude of impact through its training programs but also boost its income through the commercial use of the guest house facilities.

CHALLENGES

We are faced with a No of challenges in these undertaking among which include;

The Budget: our scope of reach and impact has for far been limited by our monthly and annual budgets. The current budget has greatly affect our evangelistic, church planter, children ministry, trainings, outreach and discipleship programs. Our prayer has been and still is for the Lord to enables us receive adequate funding.

Christian Literature: this has still been a great challenge in as far as our ministry programs are concerned. We have and are in constant need of Bibles/ study bibles, Children booklets, leadership books for the leaders, tracts and booklets for evangelism.

PRAYER REQUEST

Please continue to pray with us for the areas mentioned above and for potential partners to partly support the programs.

May Christ bless and increase you in every area of your life. 

Sincerely yours,

Robert Sebunya
