CHURCH PLANTING PROJECT:
- UNREACHED PEOPLE:
It is estimated that in Uganda only 7% live in
towns, 93 % in villages yet most churches have been planted in towns
leaving most villages
unreached. That is where True Word Ministries comes
in with a commitment to reach the unreached villages with the gospel
and plant churches there. Beginning with Budiope County.
- BUDIOPE CHURCH PLANTING PROJECT (Target Area).
Budiope County is composed of 5 sub counties
and it is the most remote county in Busoga Region, which region is
made up of five districts. Budiope is the centre of witchcraft in
Busoga region and the most unreached county in the region of
Busoga– Uganda.
True Word Ministries has a task of planting 70
churches in Budiope County alone focusing 10 churches a year.

care of the churches for a period of 3 years as we train a local
pastor to take over.

CHILD SPONSORSHIP: No: 600 children - year: 2002 – 2003
(War/AIDS orphans and poor needy children).
PROBLEM STATEMENT.
From 2002 national census, it was indicated that
Uganda has 24.6 million people and out of this 2 million children have
been orphaned due to rampant AIDS epidemic, it is now estimated that due
to both AIDS and war there are over 2 million orphans. The number of
orphans as a result of AIDS is far greater the number of children made
orphans due to civil wars.
Uganda National Income per capita is about US $360
against National Debt burden. 55% of Ugandans live below poverty line.
They can just earn and spend US $25 per month. There is too much
unemployment.
An average Ugandan family has 12 persons while mostly
bread earners in such families are the ones killed by AIDS. The only
appropriate intervention for this situation is only through the church.
What your monthly child support will cater for:
Your support will cater for a child’s fees, food,
clothing, treatment, bedding, scholastic materials, spiritual
development, social development etc. at Buwenge – Uganda.
OMEGA MODERN PRIMARY SCHOOL.
Omega Modern Nursery and Primary school started in
2002 by True Word Ministries – Uganda; with the purpose to
provide basic education for orphan children who have lost their parents
because of AIDS epidemic and the poor needy children in Uganda.
Presently the school lacks classrooms and lessons are
being conducted in temporary shelters. The mother organization owns land
on which permanent classrooms can be built.
HIV/AIDS AWARENESS AND CARE.
Community sensitization and moral rehabilitation,
counseling, workshops and seminars are done twice a month but in order
for us to be more effective we need to have a video equipment, van,
Assorted games equipment, therapy/drugs, family income generating
project, food etc. Presently we get local financial support from
individual church members who have got a heart to help the AIDS
patients. Over 1 million people live with AIDS in Uganda. It has
affected mostly the youth between age group of 15 and 24 years and that
is why our main focus are schools.
We call organizations, churches, individuals, and
well-wishers world wide to give us a hand in anyway you can in the fight
against AIDS.
HEALTH SERVICES:
NABITULA HEALTH CENTRE
Nabitula is a very big village and highly populated.
It has over 2000 people who believe so much in witchcraft where by when
a child falls sick of malaria the child is taken to shrines (to witch
doctors) where by many have ended up dying. That is why our goal is to
build a health centre for the purpose of improving the health of the
people of this village and the surroundings.
MOBILE CLINICS
This is where health workers move from village to
village and place to place to immunize children of preventable diseases
and sensitize communities on how to avoid these diseases. We therefore
invite voluntary nurses, dentists, eye specialists and doctors to come
and visit with True Word Ministries – Uganda for two weeks or more as we
give free services to communities.
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT CENTRE
It is for computer training, typing, crafts,
tailoring, knitting, etc. for self-reliance. Target groups are
widows and youth.
Presently we have one computer and three
typewriters. Our plan is to have at least 15 computers, 20 typewriters,
20 sewing machines and 3 knitting machines. We plan to have at least
60 people training in the morning and more 60 in the afternoon. Skills
training volunteers have a place and a role to play in our Skills
Development Centre.
YOREMO (Youth Revival Movement).
It is for church youth camps, conferences &
seminars, workshops, general canseling, training/career guidance,
youth to youth sponsorship and Christian pen pal link.

SELF HELP PROJECTS
These are mainly for the widows and the poor families. The purpose of
this is to make these families self supporting. We would love to give each
family $200 USD to make project of a family choice i.e Poultry rearing,
Sewing, Knitting, Retail shop, etc and to twin one family to a family
abroad. We are to start with
10 widows for the phase as a model. If you would love to help a
family/widow please contact us.
PASTORS’ SUPPORT.
Our plan is to support each pastor by giving him a Friesian cow with a
purpose of making him self-supporting. In Africa a church is not able to
pay her pastor though they want to do so but because most of them lack
jobs they are unable.
So many pastors are serving the Lord faithfully. But when their
families are going without food sometimes and their children are not going
to school. And because of this, pastors’ children are regretting as to why
their parents are pastors and they don’t even dream of becoming pastors in
their lifetime. So pastors’ children need sponsorship as well.
