Why Uganda?

Imagine


        You in live in a small isolated village, where you struggle to meet the basic needs for your family - it is clear just by looking at your little child's tummy, he is not getting enough nutrition. Imagine, that 90% of your income/food source came from what you have planted and that because of extreme heat you lost all of your crop, leaving your family with nothing.
       Imagine - some men come through your village with a message- that if you put all your money on the grave of your ancestors, you will be delivered from your misery. Imagine - because you are desperate for something, you sell all that you have and leave the money on the graves because you believe that it will give you a better life for you and your family. Imagine - you wake up, the next morning to have all of your hopes and dreams crushed and all your money gone, along with the preachers that promised you a better life? Imagine- if all your life you have been taught that you have to work to please your ancestors or work to please God and yet always coming up short?

       Now Imagine, if someone else came to your village, not  to steal or take advantage of you, but came to share- a message that would not only change your earthly life, but would change your eternal destination? Instead of being told that you have to earn your way to God - by going to church, or giving money to pastors, or trying to please your dead ancestors, that you are told of the True and Living God, that loves you and gave Himself up for you?

       Our heart aches for the people of Uganda, to come to a clear understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That they would receive it and embraces it as their own. 

    Our heart is for the True Gospel of Jesus Christ to be reached to every person and village in Uganda. In order for us to have an effective ministry to Ugandan's, we need people who will join our support team! It is God's work, but He has given each of us an opportunity to be a part. As we minister on the "front-lines", the faithful prayers and financial gifts of our support team are essential to keep the ministry moving forward. We challenge you to prayerfully consider how you can partner in this work. We are truly grateful for our sending team!
