Dave preaching under the tent in Kakira

We are excited to announce that Jan and I will be going to Uganda this summer, departing June 29th for about two weeks.

Our first stop will be at the Tumaini Children’s home, overseen by our friend Nicolas Ongamo.
We regularly send funds to help feed the 80+ kids here as part of our outreach program.

Some wonderful children from Tumaini at dinnertime. Pastor Nicholas has had a very hard time in the last few months raising enough money for food, as offerings from the US are down. If you would like to contribute to help buy a few bags of rice and beans to help out the kids, use the donate link at left and note “for the kids” and we will see that Pastor Nicholas gets 100% of your gift.

We will next be ministering at the church in Source Village. Antioch Tabernacle Ministries funded the construction of this church and we minister there when we are in the area.

The village churches are typically not very large, but we pack over a hundred people in during a service.

Next we will be ministering at Kakira Christian center. This is the “Mother” church overseen by Pastor Ongamo, who raises up the next generation leaders and plants them out in the village churches. After a Sunday in Kakira, we will go on to Wandago village, the site of the second church that we have raised funds to construct. Wandago village has two main engines that drive its economy- Homemade Rum and Prostitution. In addition to constructing the church there, we also provide the salary for Pastor Patrick in Wandago, from our missions offerings.

For the next few days we will be working with our missionary friend Dr. Cliff Pash and the Ugandan government, using our churches as a base to host a medical outreach, providing Aids and syphilis testing, various immunizations and health counseling.

Our next stop will be Evangel Church in Jinja, where we will be holding a conference with Dr Pash, building into the local churches and leaders ministering 3-4 times over a three day period.

Our last stop will be in Nawansega province, where we have been working with Dr. Pash to establish a mission base. Jan and I will be preaching there during the evenings and one Sunday morning.

The Orphan Facility in Nawansega. Your offerings provided a large portion of the funding to construct this, as part of our third African church construction project. We also raised funds to contribute to the construction of the large open-air pavillion used as a main sanctuary, where 300-400 people gather for Sunday morning worship.

We have several needs that we want to share with you. First, we very much need your prayers as we travel about the villages, not only for traveling mercies but also that the ministry will be fruitful and that lives will be touched. We are also in need of finances, not only for our travel expenses, but also to sow into the ministry projects. If the you want to support our missionary outreach, you can donate using the “Donate” link to the left, or by mailing to our PO Box. As always, all donations are tax deductible in the United States.

Thanks again for your continued prayers and support. You are much appreciated.

Dave and Jan
