Welcome to Namuwango . . .

also known as Soweto, one of the largest and poorest communities in Kampala. Many in this area come from the north to escape civil violence and to find employment. Crime, disease and hopelessness shroud Soweto. However, the light of Jesus Christ is shining brightly into the darkest corners of this community, through those who worship here each week. Please pray for those who live and work around the church. Pray that they may hear the words preached, the praises being sung, and the adungu, making a joyful noise unto the Lord. Pray for those in the church, that they may not fear to share the saving grace of Jesus Christ with their neighbors and friends. Thank you in joining us in prayer for Soweto!

"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious." Psalm 66:1-2

Abundant Gospel Sowing

That is our prayer! Please pray for abundant gospel sowing in the area of Soweto. We know that God will bless this community with His word. Pray that these worshippers will be bold in their testimonies and sharing of the Word. Pray for guidance to those they should share with and disciple. Thank you for your commitment to lift this church and community before the Father. May He be glorified through it all!

"Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together." Psalm 34:3

Praise & Worship . . . Acholi style

This is the adungu, a musical instrument, its size determining its sound! It could sound like a guitar or a harp, but either way, you know you are praising God Acholi style when you hear them play. We praise God for the gift of worship through music. What a blessing these instruments make to the sounds of life in Soweto. May God bless the time of praise and worship as it reaches the ears of those in this community. Pray that God will speak to them who so desperately need to hear Him!



"My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul."
Psalm 108:1

Pastor Thomas Abach

Meet Pastor Thomas and his wife, Florence. Please lift up this family in prayer as they live and minister in this community. Pray for Pastor Thomas as he struggles to work at night and minister to both his family and congregation during the day. Pray for health, as the children and Florence suffer from ailments due to the poor sanitary conditions of this community.

However, we praise God for the blessings He has given to the Abach family. Praise God for the opportunity for seminary education for Thomas, may he use that knowledge in leading Soweto and the surrounding area to a deeper knowledge of Christ. Praise God for a job for Thomas, pray that Florence will soon be able to find employment, to help supply the daily needs of their large family. Praise God for the dedication that Thomas shows to follow Jesus and to share the love of Him to others. Pray for endurance for Thomas, as he runs the race before him in being His "hands" and "feet" to Soweto.



"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." Mark 1:17
