Building Mission and Evangelism in the Bunyoro-Kitara Diocese

GCWM-invited by the Anglican diocese to help build their Mission and Evangelism Department

Located in western Uganda on Lake Albert, Bunyoro-Kitara Diocese is spread over 58 parishes and 364 congregations. GCWM is involved with two churches here in the United States who look to the Bishop of Bunyoro-Kitara for spiritual covering based on solid biblical foundations.

The Problem:

While economic development programs have flourished, the Mission and Evangelism arm of the diocese has not functioned in 15 years. Several of the churches here in the U.S. have a strong faith, but have not developed mission and evangelism programs either.

The Plan:

• Take a scouting trip to Uganda in April and work with the diocesan and parish staff to build a strategy and give the International Mission Training seminar to 270 key people.
• Initiate a similar program with two Anglican churches in the Lexington, Kentucky area that will include mission training and practical help to set up mission structures, plant churches, and provide hands-on cross-cultural mission opportunities.
• Facilitate on-going partnerships with Bunyoro-Kitara churches that will form joint teams reaching Muslim and other peoples without access to the Gospel in a culturally-relevant and understandable way.
