Ministry trip report

January in Uganda

January 2026 ministry trip

Learning and celebrating together

The January trip included graduation for 33 pastors who completed the 2025 Bible School program, following the first 29 in 2024. Thirty-eight of those first 62 trained pastors continued into advanced study during 2026.

Time with churches and pastors

The team made ten home visits and spent time with more than one hundred leaders. Teaching, prayer and conversation helped deepen relationships with pastors and their families.

Prison visits

On January 11, the team visited Kaweeri and Muinaina. Fifty-eight people professed faith at Kaweeri.

Learning through business

The trip review included nine pastor partnership businesses: four from the earlier cohort and five added in 2026. Visiting the owners and their workplaces made room for practical training and encouragement.

Shared life along the way

School visits, meals, travel and everyday moments were also part of the trip. We are grateful for the welcome and for the opportunity to share in the work God is doing through local churches.
