Real Life: Uganda

Project Overview:

It was Winston Churchill, at the beginning of the century, who

said “…for magnificence, for variety of form and color, for profusion of brilliant life – plant, bird, insect, reptile, beast – for the vast scale… Uganda is truly “the Pearl of Africa.” From the Source of the Nile flowing out of Lake Victoria, to the spectacular assortment of wildlife, to the incredible hearts of the Ugandan people, Uganda truly is an incredible country. It is still recovering from civil wars that threatened to destroy its spirit, but Uganda is steadily fighting her way back. IDP camps are crowded with not only its own Ugandan citizens, but also with Sudanese refugees escaping to the south. But it is a land full of hope and majesty, one not to be missed.

Ministry Description:

Ministry opportunities in Uganda range from working with orphans to discipling the teenagers. From caring for those dying from AIDS to sharing to gospel door to door. You could be ministering to people in the IDP camps and providing food to those who need it the most. Come prepared to experience a variety of ministry and learn to love the phrase, ‘TIA.’ This is Africa.
