Help share Jesus! And bring hope to one of Uganda’s poorest communities. Choose from two projects.
1 Gospel promotion
Karamoja has great gospel opportunities and the people are willing, but they’re hindered by limited resources.
The Karamoja Gospel Promotion Partnership Project aims to support the church "to proclaim the Gospel in accordance with Christ's Commission to make disciples of all nations" with:
- clergy stipend and diocesan expenses
- clergy and lay leader training and conferences
- scholarship for theological students
- evangelistic missions
- and other ministry expenses.
2 Community development*
Where 76% people are multidimensionally poor, the Anglican Diocese of Karamoja plays a key role as spiritual and community development leader. Your gift will help restore and expand St Philip’s Centre for:
1. Community gatherings - church meetings, youth groups, Mothers Union seminars, and community health and peace-building events
2. Emergency shelter - safe accommodation during disasters and crises
3. Event hosting - hospitality venue for special occasions and community needs
4. Conference rental - meeting space for government agencies and NGO organizations
5. Training hub - educational centre for clergy and lay leader development.
*Gifts over $2 are tax deductible
