In Uganda, a mature Mission: Moving Mountains project in Mbale District offers a picture of what we desire to happen every place we work. Sustainable change is readily apparent in things like wells that provide clean drinking water, vibrant new churches, and improved agricultural techniques. It is also apparent in the new skills leaders have developed, such as solving problems together, using the community’s own available resources, and trusting God as He continues to move their hearts toward Him. Consider the impact of some of what has happened in Uganda:
A vibrant, self-sustaining indigenous ministry with its own board of directors has successfully completed community transformation projects in more than 60 communities, with new work started in 30 more.
In one project cluster of eight villages in Muyembe, there are more than 300 disciples. Many are third and fourth generation spiritual descendents of the original project team.
New churches have sprouted up as a result of whole-life discipleship that has taken root in the lives of people.
Transformed project communities have attracted the attention of the Ugandan government, resulting in grants to begin income-generating activities like tree nurseries and to help with AIDS support.
Women like Florence Wareka are economically empowered and able to feed and educate their children and build permanent houses. They attribute these new capacities to the skills and training that God provided them through M:MM.
The whole-life transformation that has taken place throughout Mbale District in Uganda can also happen in other poverty stricken countries. It is worth the long-term investment to see fruit—fruit that lasts! Would you be willing to help the work continue in Uganda by supporting this project monthly?
