Leaders and Pastors iGNITED

Pastors and leaders at the altar committing to Missions

The two-day Leadership and Missions Conference took place at Makerere University Conference Center. It focused on transformational leadership and empowering leaders and pastors for mission.  Attendees included local pastors and faculty members at Makerere University. I was one of the seven speakers at the conference. My talk, given on the first day focused on ‘Strategic Priorities for Leadership’. Jeremy anchored the first day with a ‘Working it Out’ session on application of all the information presented. There were 144 attendees on day 1 and 175 on day 2.  A total of 70 leaders answered the altar call to commit their ministries to missions. These were further invited to a training workshop on day 3 to prepare them for life on the mission field.

Save The Street Kids

Some of us attended the iGNITE Leadership and Missions Conference for two days while the rest of the team ministered on the streets of Kampala. The Namuwonga Community is one of the ‘slums’ in Kampala. Team members ministered from house to house praying and sharing the love of Jesus. The next day, some team members ministered to ‘Street Kids’ in Kamwokya community. These kids often roam the streets because they have no homes to go. Poverty was displayed in the worst graphic form in these regions as young mothers could be seen sleeping on the street with their children. Our team was hosted by ‘Save the street kids’ Ministry that caters to children taken off the streets. Several people in these communities opened their hearts to Jesus. Unfortunately, many can’t read English language, so a major challenge will be getting them Bible written in their local language.
