Welcome to Kisugu . . .

Welcome to Kisugu Baptist Church
Church can be anywhere, a large brick building, under a tree, in someone's home or in a small blue iron sheet building! Where two or three are gathered, HE IS THERE. Praise God for the believers in Kisugu who meet here every Sunday for Celebration Service. This service started in May, 2008, born from a house church that began in November, 2006. A night guard, named Moses, while going through discipleship training felt the need for others in his community to know and learn the gospel. Praise God for those early believers, like Moses and Esther, who wanted others in their community to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for praying for Kisugu, the church and those who live and minister in this community. As you walk through these "streets" may you feel God's leading and presence in the way you should pray for this area. May God bless you in your walk through Kisugu and may your life and the lives of those you pray for be forever and eternally changed. May all come to know and believe the greatness of our Lord, Jesus Christ!!

"Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory." 1 Timothy 3:16

The children, the future of Uganda . . .

"Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder thm, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14


It is said that 50% of the population in Uganda is under the age of 15. With those statistics, the future of Uganda does rest with these children! Pray for these future leaders, young believers and ambassadors for Christ.



Pray that this country may not hinder them from learning, growing up strong and healthy and knowing the word of Jesus Christ. Many of these kids are helping to raise their younger siblings. Pray for these young boys and girls who have had to take on grown-up responsbillities. Pray that God will provide for them on a daily basis. May He provide people in their lives who will love them, encourage them and direct them in they way they should go, God's way!

"How beautiful are the feet . . ."

Pray for good health for him and his family and for strength and encouargement in the face of many obstacles. Praise God that Pastor Emma continues to be one "of those who bring good news!"

Meet Pastor Benard Tumanye and his family. Benard and his wife have two sons and a daughter. Pray for the Tumanye family as he ministers in Kisugu and in his village outside of the city. Pray that God will provide good health, safe travels in and out of Kampala, and a peace and endurance that passes all understanding. Pray that Pastor Benard will seek God in all things and may he continue to seek to make Him known among those who so desperately need to know Christ.

Make a joyful noise . . .

UNTO THE LORD! Praise God for these women who so joyfully sing unto the Lord. No matter where you are or what circumstances you may be facing, GOD IS THERE and worthy of praise. Pray for these believers in Kisugu that even in the midst of struggle, poverty and disease, God is with them, cares for them, loves them and died for them!

Praying through Kawempe . . .

. . . step at a time!! Thank you for your commitment to "walk" the alleys of Kawempe and pray for those who call this community home. There are hundreds of men, women and children crammed into this area of Kampala. As you walk through this area, please stop to pray for those who are bound by Satan. May those who live in Kawempe be free from the bondage that keeps them from experiencing God!

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus or Lord." Romans 8:38-39

Pastor Deo Bamanya and Pastor Deon Katende

Meet Pastor Deo, his wife Irene and his two precious children. Deo is living and ministering in Kawempe. The weekly house church and Sunday Celebration Service are a testament to the good work that is taking place in Kawempe. This area is thirsting for the gospel. Pray for Pastor Deo and his family as they minsiter to those who are hurting, seeking and desperate for the truth.

Meet Pastor Deon, a young man with a heart and passion for the Lord. Pray for Deon as he lives and minsters to those in Kawempe and in Mulago Hospital. May God bless him with endurance and provide those to encourage him as he daily seeks to share the gospel with those in his community and church.

We thank God for these two men who are on a mission to reach Kawempe for Christ!!

"Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground." Psalms 143:10

In the shadow of . . .

Islam, ancestor worship and witch doctors. As you can see by the beads and charms wrapped around these precious babies, many still seek guidance through false voices. These false voices shroud this community in darkness. There are many in this community who are seeking, but looking in all the wrong places. Pray that those in Kawempe will seek the One who can provide them with hope and life!

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7
