6404-940-Training and Education in Rural Northern Uganda

In the rural areas of Northern Uganda, education has been out of reach for many due to costs and lack of availability. Low levels of education affect the growth of the church.

6461-906-South Sudan VTA & Leadership Development

Since the 1980s, Richard has had connections with Sudanese churches. As government contractors, Richard’s parents worked in Sudan and attended several Sudanese churches.

6432-001-Malawi H2O

Malawi H2O is an effort pioneered by a men's small group from Mission Community Church in Gilbert, Arizona, USA. In early 2017, they began a study on the book titled "Counter Culture" by David Platt. The book challenged them to live simply, help constructively, invest eternally, and give sacrificially - rather than in comfort. This thought process led to the genesis of Malawi H2O where funds would be raised to support the drilling of boreholes in Malawi, Africa. Malawi is in Southern Africa and year after year is in the top 5 poorest countries in the world where clean water…

Beira is a growing trade city in the heart of a developing Mozambique. The church has matured and aged significantly in the last few years, leaving sober minded Christians with no access to an evangelical educational option. Both the foreign Christian community and the local church feel this need and with proper direction, a non-denominational, city-wide effort can be tasked to train up its children. Our goal is to back the Mozambican church as it looks to train its children in the Christian leadership path. We will do this by establishing a bilingual Christian school that trains the hearts and…

PROBLEM Two thirds of our church members are women, and in this culture it is difficult for women to confide in men, even their pastor. We need women better educated in God’s Word and mature in their faith who can teach, disciple, counsel and mentor other women. The IBB is our national church association’s main school for pastoral and leadership training.

Bringing Healing to Children in Uganda The 1:27 Uganda Initiative is based on the admonition of James 1:27, specifically caring for orphans. The project is designed to provide necessary surgery for orphan children in Uganda. These surgeries might be lifesaving... or they might be life-changing, like a simple surgery (cleft lip or hernia repair) which may improve the chances of a child being adopted. 1:27 gives medical surgeries to those children that are the most marginalized of already marginalized children.

Only 57% of the population is literate, and that, in the Roman alphabet. But many parents send their children to Qur'anic schools where they learn to read the Arabic script.

Renumbered from 6463904 CI/MMT Hospital Education. This project provides the needed funds for national hospital workers in Cote d'Ivoire to receive further medical training. PROBLEM Our desire is to have dedicated African Christian professionals in leadership roles at the hospital. The competition is so severe in the government training programs that the only way of getting those professionals is to send them ourselves and finance their studies. We also have a nursing program based at the Baptist Hospital to provide a quality education for nurses at the LPN/RN level. The 3 year program is taught by our own RN staff,…

6462-933-Baptist Hospital Compassion

6462-933-Baptist Hospital Compassion

In this time of crisis/post-crisis, the people are really hard hit economically and had trouble purchasing even the basic needs of life. Health care, although necessary, is often ignored until the last minute, which only increases prices for restoring ill health. It is hard to distinguish often times between the truly needy and those who "want something for nothing." PROBLEM People with chronic illnesses are hit the hardest in this time of economic slump--those with diabetes, heart problems, and HIV/AIDS. VISION We would like to be able to help those who really need help through a compassion fund.

6462-932-Ferke Hospital Fund

6462-932-Ferke Hospital Fund

Giving to this project is the perfect opportunity to diversify contributions as the money will help many projects associated with the Ferke hospital in Côte d’Ivoire. This project supplements the cost of construction, education and equipment purchases as needed. Money is dispersed based on the urgency of the request. PROBLEM Essential laboratory equipment and a cash register were bought rapidly one year when those in use could no longer be repaired. This year a new computer and printer had to be purchased rapidly for the pharmacy when it became unreliable. VISION This "slush" fund allows the hospital to respond to…

6462-915-Church Roof

This project provides money to purchase materials to put roofs on church buildings. Church members typically do the bulk of the work clearing the land, making or buying bricks, building walls, making windows and finishing off the building. The roof tends to cost more than what the church can afford. PROBLEM Because of the high cost of roofing materials and the fact that most of our churches are composed of subsidence farmers raising funds for a church roof can be difficult. VISION Completing the church building encourages the members and more people attend, contributing to the church's growth. STRATEGY This…

6462-914-Theology Reference Materials

6462-914-Theology Reference Materials

This project puts into the hands of leaders free theological works in French that they could never afford. PROBLEM The cost of the Bible commentary and dictionary we give would each cost a month's salary for the average pastor. VISION A commentary and dictionary helps leaders be doctrinally sound and to feed themselves lifelong with these works. STRATEGY Each church leader will receive for free a one-volume Bible commentary and a one-volume Bible dictionary. CAPACITY A gift of $65 would purchase both the Bible commentary and dictionary if we continue to receive discounted prices from our supplier in Switzerland.

Empowering Local Churches

Empowering Local Churches

Our Fellowship Baptist Churches are located mainly in semi-rural areas among the least evangelized peoples of Kenya's south coast area. The FBC Association of Pastors has an annual goal of planting at least two new churches in unreached areas. Praise God! They have been meeting their goal. Their strategy includes each pastor training two "Timothys" who in turn would train two more "Timothys" so that there would never be a lack of "Timothys" to do outreach and to tend new church plants.

Theological Education by Extension (TEE) is a program designed to give church lay leaders on-the-job training. During the three-year course, lay leaders learn about the Christian family, the life of Christ, Christian doctrine, and how to witness to nonbelievers. PROBLEM Our residential school, Bethel Bible Institute, graduates 10 every other year. The church is growing at such a rate that there will never be enough pastors for all the churches if our Bible school is the only way Christians can be trained for the ministry.

The national church leadership is moving ahead with the training of church leaders through the Bethel Bible Institute in Korhogo as well as attempting to continue training through the Senoufo Bible Training by Extension Program. They have instituted, for the first time in many years, a summer training course for pastors, already in leadership, to do continuing education for ministry. PROBLEM There has been a mass exodus of mission personnel, reducing significantly our ability as a mission team to help our Ivoirian brethren train and develop leaders for the future.

Since 1990, Bethel Bible Institute (IBB) has been playing a significant role in the training of Christian laymen, pastors and leaders of the evangelical community in West Africa. The 2007-2008 school year began the 17th year with a student body of 20 full-time students, all of whom intend to serve in churches and outreach in the years to come!

6401-909-Sarobidy Maternity Center

Everyday, over 800 women die in pregnancy or childbirth due to preventable causes. Most of these occur in the developing world. -World Health Organization (WHO) Women throughout the world deliver their babies at home, alone and unassisted. Other times, they deliver in facilities that are understocked in equipment, medications and professional resources. In both instances, when complications arise, disaster ensues. Babies die, women die, children are orphaned and families are broken. Madagascar is no different. Here, a woman’s lifetime risk that she’ll die in childbirth is 1 in 45.

RESTORING STUDENTS ON THE RED ISLAND Madagascar, the red island, is a country in which 50% of the population is under the age of 18 years old and the school life expectancy of a student is just 10 years or roughly the equivalent to a 7th grade education. The low-income family scholarship project was designed to help provide funding for students whose parents are unable to provide for their children's education. The recipients of this project come from single parent or extremely impoverished families, often with many siblings and little hope for a continued education. Since 2002, we have been…

6402-912-Christian Leadership Institute (CLIR)

The Christian Leadership Institute of Rwanda was started in 2015 to provide students with theological education which is grounded in Scripture, focused on character transformation and immediately applicable to life and ministry. Here’s what students say about their experience at CLIR: “CLIR gives true Biblical teaching and deep analysis of the Bible.” “CLIR is the best path to take if one wants to become a true Christian leader.” “The Rwandan Church needs CLIR!” Many of the systemic issues within the Rwandan Church stem from a lack of well-discipled servant leaders. There is a significant lack of advanced theological training as…

6402-909-Agricultural Demonstration Center

Rwanda continues to be a heavily agrarian society with many people growing all of their own food. As the population of Rwanda increases, land is becoming scarce, food costs are rising, and food shortages are common. Many Rwandans eat only one meal a day. The Agricultural Demonstration program at New Creation Ministries seeks to introduce Rwandans to new ways of growing food and stewarding their land. By connecting Biblical values and improved farming techniques, we seek to address the spiritual and practical needs of our pastors, their families, and their communities.

6402-907-Ministry Leaders Training (MLT)

6402-907-Ministry Leaders Training (MLT)

Most people in ministry in Rwanda (even pastors!) have little or no Biblical education. As a result, many teach salvation by works and the prosperity gospel. A lack of Biblically literate, spiritually transformed leaders means that Rwandan churches are full of non-believers and immature, undiscipled Christians. The Ministry Leaders Training (MLT) is a two year, partially residential program in which students learn Biblical theology and practical ministry skills. They also benefit from courses on marriage, family and agriculture, as well as one-on-one discipleship and mentoring. Our aim isn't just to provide MLT students with knowledge and skills. We want them…

Often Christian young people are sent away to boarding school at the secondary level. This project is set up to assist in building and equipping the Baptist Secondary School in Nyabugando. The school is associated with the Nyabugando Baptist Church and provides a Christian education to the leaders of the future. PROBLEM Nyabugando Baptist Church has developed a primary school with over 1,000 students of church members and children from the community. This ministry and outreach has naturally led to the development of a secondary school to help children complete their education through the S4 level and vocational studies. VISION…

6404-912-Kiburara Building Fund

We are increasing the size of the Bible college's library. It needs more good books that will help the students. PROBLEM Bible dictionary commentaries and biblical study books are not available in Uganda. Kiburara has a small library, less than 200 books in English. VISION These books will help students have better resources for studying and will help them gain better knowledge of the Bible. STRATEGY We hope to add 250 books to the library collection. CAPACITY A resource book for Bible study usually costs about $20. We hope that will also include the postage to Uganda.

6404-906-Pastor’s Child Education

This project provides the needed funds to sponsor and pay for school fees, enabling children of pastors to attend school. PROBLEM In Uganda the average pastor's family can have eight or more kids. Often more than one of them are in high school at the same time. With the average pastor's salary at $15 a month and the cost per child to attend high school is $200 per year, most pastors' kids go without an education. VISION We seek to care for the needs of the wider body of Christ, since a pastor's salary in Uganda cannot support the school…

6404-905-Church Construction

Funds from this project will be used to purchase the corrugated iron sheets for church roofs. VISION Assisting these churches with roofing sheets is a big encouragement since it is difficult for the churches to afford these materials. Established church buildings will also provide a center for more training and outreach within the communities. STRATEGY Rural churches that receive assistance from this project are responsible to purchase land and build a basic structure. CAPACITY Each corrugated sheet costs about $10, and each church needs 40 to 60 sheets, depending on the size of the building.

6404-904-Pastors Medical Fund

This project will provide funds for pastors in Uganda who need major medical care for themselves and their immediate family. At present, pastors must struggle to come up with the funds or face dire consequences, even death. PROBLEM Rural pastors face major medical challenges every day in Uganda, challenges that could potentially wipe them out financially because they usually only make $25 to $50 a month. If a pastor breaks an arm or a leg riding his bicycle for ministry, how does he get the medical care he needs so that he can get back on his feet and minister…

Uganda has many needy people, many of whom could improve their situations if given help to meet a critical need. Funds from this project will provide emergency funding to assist individuals during difficult circumstances. PROBLEM Most Ugandans are unable to meet critical needs themselves and whole families suffer as a result. VISION God commands His people to help the needy. This special project allows us to do that. STRATEGY The focus is on individuals of any age who need emergency assistance to meet an urgent need (medical, physical, or scholastic). Many needs are one-time only.

6403-953-Recorded Wolof Scripture

6403-953-Recorded Wolof Scripture

The Word of God in one's heart language is a powerful change agent. Senegalese believers who have attended French-speaking churches for years have finally understood the stories of the Bible after having heard the Bible in Wolof. Thus, the goal of this special project is to provide the Wolof Bible in oral means to an oral culture. PROBLEM Eighty percent of Senegalese, whether ethnically Wolof or not, speak Wolof as a first or second language. Because French is used in schools to learn to read and write, even the small percentage of those who are literate (23 percent) do not…

6403-945-Digital Players for Evangelism

Missionaries who want to see the church in Senegal strongly founded on the Word of God, have made the New Testament available in recorded format. Megavoice, a small, durable, and easy to use digital audio player with its own power source, can hold up to 180 hours of audio. Funds will be used to purchase Megavoice players and distribute them to believers.

6403-917-ITES Support for Nationals

The Institut de Theologie Evangelique du Senegal (ITES) trains national church leaders to help churches in Senegal. Currently there are a few nationals on staff at the school but ultimately it would be beneficial to have the school run completely by nationals. The administration would like to hire a full-time Senegalese director. PROBLEM The primary church leadership training school in Senegal would greatly benefit from having a full-time national director. However, the tuition charged is not sufficient to support a director's salary. VISION A Senegalese director could be much more effective in making the school relevant to Senegalese church and…

6404-923-Bible School Housing

Funds from this project will be used to purchase building supplies for homes. PROBLEM Teachers at the Bible school only earn around $18 per month. They sacrifice because they see the importance of training pastors for Baptist churches in rural Uganda. VISION The homes will be a great encouragement for the faculty of a Bible college who sacrifice to teach and train students to serve as pastors in rural areas of Uganda. STRATEGY This project will help raise $2,000 for each teacher to purchase brick, concrete, wood and iron sheets needed to construct a moderate home. They and their families…

6404-924-Bible School Irrigation

Water is life. This project will provide access to water that is much needed at the Western Uganda Baptist Theological College. Students and staff at the college raise their own crops for food. Every two years the area experiences a drought that destroys the crops. Funds from this project will be used to build a solar energy-driven irrigation system. The college will also share the water with the nearby community. PROBLEM It would be a huge waste to let this school die for lack of water.

6404-909-Western Uganda Theological Education

Western Uganda Baptist Theological College (WUBTC) at Kiburara is a nationally run two-year residential program that trains men and their wives for the work of the ministry in rural Uganda. The sponsorship of pastors in training will go directly to the school to help cover the actual costs of this training.

6404-931-Pastor’s Kindle Resource Library

Pastors' Kindle Resource Library is an effort to supply pastors who can read English with a resource library of books relevant to the needs of their ministry. All of these books could be placed on a Kindle, a small electronic reader, and managed in a way that would encourage the pastor to read and grow. PROBLEM In Uganda, most pastors do not have access to any books that would help them in their sermon preparation and ministry. Books are expensive and hard to come by. Libraries are nonexistent or inaccessible by students studying at a Bible college. VISION Imagine a…

Create an intensive internship in discipleship for 10 men and 10 women during six months of their nine-month break between high school and further studies. PROBLEM There is a severe lack of moral training, therefore character does not develop along with education, thus there is a lack of integrity. VISION The Uganda field hopes to aid the church, which realizes the tremendous lack of mentorship and discipleship.

This project will provide funds to help underwrite the activities needed to translate and print the Bible into Shempire. PROBLEM The Shempire are an unreached people group lacking churches and the Word of God in their own language thus restricting what can be done in evangelism, discipleship and leadership formation. With the Bible in Shempire the people can access for themselves the very mind of God and know his will concerning their lives and his desires for them. With the Word of God in Shempire evangelism and discipleship can more easily be carried on and leaders be better formed resulting…

6403-912-Radio Evangelism

In a country of 18 million people where half are illiterate, it is imperative to disseminate the gospel through oral media. Listening to the radio, especially to local stations, is popular in Senegal. Local stations are making airtime available to churches and missions, sometimes freely or very economically. The Association of Evangelical Baptist Churches of Senegal (AEEBS) was offered time on a few radio stations. A couple pastors are going to the radio station to record.

Now that the Wolof Bible has gone to press, further donations to this project will be used to print single books, or selections of passages, for people to read and hopefully get interested to read the entire Bible. The books will be taken from the Bible so the format is already set and will be printed in-country. The country is only 58% literate (2022) in the Roman alphabet, but parents send their children to Qur’anic schools where they learn the Arabic alphabet.
