Overview

Mission

Weekly church services, biblical seminars/classes and evangelical mission work in Africa.

What it reported doing in 2025

Mission work in Uganda: We support a Pastors' Training Program that meets for 3 weeks 3-4 times/year. We provide the travel funds, housing, food, teachings and supplies for 45 pastors per training. We also financially support a country-wide convocation that meets twice/year by providing the housing, food, teaching and supplies for 70 pastors per event which lasts for 1 week. We support the main pastor's needs for travel to outlying rural villages and areas as well as trips to neighboring countries for evangelizing the gospel of Jesus Christ. The outreach has now spread to include 5 different regions with the main pastor becoming a bishop to oversee the work.
