Uganda
Winston Churchill dubbed Uganda "The Pearl of Africa" for its breathtaking scenery. Located between Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda is home to the lush paradise of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Blessed with relatively fertile land, Uganda produces much of its own food, such as oranges, papayas, lemons, melons, and pineapples.
Yet amid such beauty and fruitfulness, Uganda’s history is stained by violence. Only recently have they begun to experience some long-desired stability and peace.
REACHING UGANDA WITH THE GOSPEL
A Church Planting Movement
Partner 135 has been partnering with local disciples of Jesus to spread the Good News of an eternal Kingdom made possible by the victory of Jesus Christ on the Cross and through the Resurrection.
Since our partnership in Uganda began in 2006, we have seen tens of thousands of Ugandan people come to Christ and walk out of the bondage and slavery of sin.
Currently, there are more than 70 pastors serving dozens of churches and many more in training. It is so exciting to see this Church Planting Movement take off.
Each year, we mobilize volunteers from the US along with the pastors and church leaders within Uganda to preach the Good News in some of the most impoverished and rural areas of the country. The Church in Uganda has a vision to spread the Kingdom of Heaven to the north as far and as long as it takes until all of North Africa hears the Good News of Christ's eternal Kingdom.
Part of the work being done in the region includes caring for, educating, and providing shelter and food to children through our Boarding School. This work is so vital in training up the next generation of Christ followers who will go and proclaim the Good News as well.
