Ministry supporters Newsletter

Dear friends and family,

Kirabo and I would like to express our sincere thanks to all of you who supported us do His works in God’s ministries in Uganda and Beyond. Without your prayers and financial support His ministry would not have happened. Thank you for letting Christ uses you to enable us to go always and minister in Uganda. It is always wonderful to be able to work together, serving God on the mission field. God is teaching us both a lot through the things we are experiencing during His full time ministry here.
God is using us to draw His people closer to Himself and to reveal Himself more to them. Uganda and our people have a very special place in our hearts.  Throughout the time we have spent in ministry, we have met with many amazing people. They have inspired us to give God our all and to daily strive to know Him better. God is moving in the hearts of the people of Uganda. He is rising up leaders, passionate and prayerful people, to spring up a revival for Christ. Their faith and commitment to Him is transforming entire communities. We have the unique opportunity to work beside these people as they minister to the weak and spiritually lost in their own villages.

We think of it as a privilege to be a part of the team that God is using to impact lives as we love, feed, teach and serve the people in the name of Jesus! The team will include doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, children’s workers and other volunteers. We will have the opportunity to serve the community through our Open air Gospel outreaches, medical and Kids outreach. We are looking forward to the possibility of supporters to run alongside the ministries. Above all we look forward to glorifying God and sharing His saving love to the spiritually lost.
 It is always such a blessing to reunite with our church family here and see how the Lord has been / is working in their lives throughout the year.
We are sure that this ending year’s ministry has brought new and different challenges than in past years.  But we also know that through everything God will use each situation for a reason and will glorify Himself in our lives.  We look forward to the plans that God has for us this before it ends and as we with eager welcomes soon an upcoming year of Divine connections and positioning for Advancing His kingdom J <3

Through the years Jesus our Lord and Savior has led us into various ministries of compassion and mercy. We have taken the gospel to prisoners, missions, heal the sick, the homeless, and to churches. We have presented the gospel in various ways. This has included church planting, children’s ministry, preaching, teaching, music, one-on-one friendships, food distribution, and leadership training.

The Lord planted a desire in our hearts for overseas ministry. Our desire has increased and we see God's call clearly now to serve Him Africa wide to the urban poor. Jesus has given us a love for Africans and zeal to see souls saved and served here in Africa. We believe the Lord anointed us + called us to serve in the country of Uganda and other African nations.

We are winning the souls whatever the cost as well as Advancing the Kingdom of God in Uganda and beyond.

A Message to our Supporters

Dear partners, this is to appreciate you for unwaveringly standing in partnership with this ministry so that the gospel can infiltrate all corners of the earth. Undoubtedly, this is sure sign of your approval, that the gospel of Jesus Christ to which I am an ambassador, has been of relevance to you and much more a blessing.
 Ministries only desires that God’s created image (humanity) shall at all costs be in the Savior’s loving arms. That, to those who do not know him yet, the lost and fallen, may all be brought back to Him just as He commissioned; “…go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”Mark 16:15.

I feel seasons everywhere, I sense blessings in the air. There cannot be a right time for an outpouring and overflowing harvest than this.
For our Lord beckons, “who shall I send?” Both you and I can be sent. And by teaming up and pooling our resources together, so much will be realized in so very many ways. Moreover, because of your seeds sown, scores more are being ministered to with the love of Jesus in this hurting world. He shed His blood, a perfect ransom and unequaled so that we might have life and life more abundantly.

If there be anything else of which to let the world know, it can only be the nature of our God-El-Shaddai. The one who heals and raises the dead, saves and forgives all who have done wrong. The only one who opens blind eyes and deaf ears, the one God with whom nothing is impossible, Mark 10:27(KJV). This is the passion of our hearts, to proclaim upon rooftops and everywhere that there is power in the blood and name of Jesus Christ. That in Him all questions can be answered.

More and more testimonies continue to pour in because the message of the cross is being preached and heard. But more importantly because the message is true and real. Restoration, healing and deliverance is taking place every minute around Uganda and beyond in His awesome name. Souls are being saved.

So being a partner with Our Ministries guarantees you being a partaker of the rewards together with all the other “laborers in the Lord’s vineyard”.  There are uncountable promises for a fulfilled life of such as heed His call; “If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land…" Isaiah1:19 (KJV).

Remember, the seeds that you sow will surely come into your own season. So I just want to encourage you not withhold you seed. The Bible declares that if we wait to observe signs and seasons we shall barely do anything; Ecclesiastes11:4.

In case you desire to become one of those to better the lives of so many as is this Ministry, do not be held back. Remember, while you partner with us, your financial contribution helps go round the globe through crusades, conference meetings and seminars, children outreaches as well as radio broadcasts.
So as the Lord leads you let us stretch our arms far and wide in order to reach those billions of hungry and thirsty souls. Being a partner with the Hope Christian Fellowhship International Church-Africa Ministries means you share the vision of this ministry and willfully commit to it.

Your partnership with this ministry is by no means just an avenue by which to raise finances. Pastor Samuel Waswa daily lifts his Ministry Partners in prayer declaring the blessing - the empowerment to prosper and excel- on his Partners. Every partner of this ministry rightfully connects to the anointing that is on the ministry so that they, too, can prosper spiritually, socially, mentally, physically, emotionally and financially.

Welcome to our Blog Page

Dear friends,

On behalf of Hope Christian Fellowship International Church Africa, I, Samuel Waswa Senior Pastor welcome you to this site: www.hcfintl.blogspot.com.
Hope Christian Fellowship International Church Africa-South Kampala is a dream comes true. God's grace and mercy coupled with the faith of believers, this fruit-the Lord's Temple has been realized.To the Father, Son and Holy Spirit we owe all the praise, glory and honor.

Lots of personal sacrifices from me and my family, our church members and friends of the Ministry from around the world had to be made .As a result, the faithfulness of His people by the instruction and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we have seen the hand of God move, and now the present day church.

This journey started from an acquired village house yard in south Uganda where we put up makeshift papyrus and tents structures, to one abandoned house in a nearby city suburb with no windows or doors. There is nothing too hard for God to do. We are seeking the Lord for $5.2millions to build the church cathedral.

For He has moved us from a time when we did have no chairs, no money at all, no nothing but just faith. And because of the professed love of Jesus Christ that the saints possessed and still do, great things have happened.
We who started with just one convert in a makeshift papyrus church, now worship and praise God in a Temporally Tent structure!, all debt free.

This is what God will do to those that do hunger and thirst for Him, He will always fill them; Matthew 5:6. Along the years God has been so good, many mighty servants of God have blessed our land. Life changing and devil crashing miracles have taken place. The church on the whole is experiencing an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. New and fresh anointing is flowing our way. 

Words are not enough to express in possible terms how much God has and is still doing, but it sure is good.
As a church, yet too, as individuals, we owe all this to God. We are so very grateful.Thanks to our partners, families and friends who have been a force to reckon with. Enjoy, be abundantly blessed and keep visiting this site, for it is ideally yours.

WHO WE ARE?

Hope Christian Fellowship Africa Uganda Ministries is a Ugandan-founded, multinational evangelistic organization aimed at bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to over 1 BILLION people across Africa and beyond. We are based In Uganda. We believe that ALL AFRICA SHALL BE SAVED.

Through the years Jesus our Lord and Savior has led us into various ministries of compassion and mercy. We have taken the gospel to prisoners, missions, the sick, the homeless, and to churches. We have presented the gospel in various ways. This has included church planting, children’s ministry, preaching, teaching, music, one-on-one friendships, food distribution, and leadership training.

We believe the Lord  anointed us + called us to serve in the country of Uganda and other African nations. The need for ministry to the peoples of these countries is urgent.

Our vision to reach the Africans is through ministry to street children, to the AIDS afflicted, to prisoners and to orphans. We are preaching the gospel as well as caring for their physical needs. We are training national church leaders and planting churches. We are also developing care ministries for the poor.



Hope Christian Fellowship International church’s Church Planting

The Lord has led us to assist in planting about 40 churches in Malawi, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda and Sudan with African pastors and churches. Numerous fellowships have also been started in Uganda and other countries. We recently had a timely and strong encouragement in church planting as Hope’s Sustainable Church Multiplication Conference that was held in March 2012 and taught about in Kampala.
We hope to take part in a regional Conference next year as God allows finances, ministering in all African nations.
We seek to plant, then assist the new church plants and assist in leadership development and help the church plants to a point of self-sustainability and more support to church pastors in branch offices to meet their needs, plans and objectives.

“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.” 1 Corinthians 3:6 NKJV.

Pray for God’s grace as we engage in this important work of church planting.

 Hope Christian Fellowship international Church’s Pastoral Development
In this ministry we seek to disciple, inculcate good character, instruct and train Pastors and Ministry Leaders Africa wide. We do this in personal fellowships and counsel and in teaching in class and conference settings. In our Hope Pastor Training Fellowship times we meet regularly with a smaller number of Pastors and Ministry Leaders and especially encourage godly character development. Every after two weeks on Friday at Kitiko fellowship. Pastor Training Conferences are often coupled with Bible Distribution. We co-operate with national lecturers and professors in Bible e.g. from Africa bible college and African bible society of Uganda.

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16,17 NKJV.

 



 PRISON MINISTRY

We are currently serving HIV+ prisoners in the form of an evangelistic and discipleship Bible Study and in providing much-needed food supplements. There is a shortage of food and nutritious supplements for these people and we hope to assist them in the Word and in this care.
Statistics available from the Uganda Prisons Service reflects that 80% of the offenders incarcerated or committed or remanded to Prisons are below the age of 20 years and 95% of the offenses committed are money related.

It’s upon these disturbing statistics that our ministry has decided to venture into Prisons Outreach Ministry. Our Prisons Outreach Program is established and guided by the biblical committee as found the Holy scriptures in the Gospel according to Mathew 25:35-40, “Jesus states that people who minister to those in prison are ministering to Him and that people who do not minister to those who are in prison have not ministered to Him” Further the book of Hebrews 13:3 tells us to remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners. We visit two main country (Uganda) prisons. Kigo prison and Luzira prison. As pictured below.
We aim to:
1. To help inmates know & accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord & Savior and nurture them into spiritual growth.
2. Post-Prison Community Based Care, Support & Counseling e.g. HIV Prevention
3. To offer spiritual & material support to the families of the incarcerated in the event where the (Bread Earner is the Offender).
4. To establish and coordinate a vibrant, strong & effective forum of ministries caring & supporting offenders

Activities:
• Evangelize & disciple inmates in and out of Prison through a weekly Prisons Outreach Program designed to share the Gospel of the risen Lord with inmates, to help them grow & mature spiritually.
• Mobilize/Source & distribute gospel tracts, Bibles, Magazines etc to inmates. Similarly, source & distribute to inmates clothes, shoes & sandals etc many inmates walk on bare foot because they don’t have shoes, slippers or sandals.
• Provide Post-Prison community based care & support to former Prisoners, by helping them get back to their communities, provide temporary transitional shelter, Prayer & Counseling etc
• Facilitate Life & entrepreneurial Skills development among former prisoners as a way of rehabilitation to help them start income generating activities to gain financial stability. This will help curb down the rate of recidivism, because no body tends to care & support former prisoners, many of them find themselves back to prison by committing the same offenses.
• Minister to & support families of inmates especially those who have been found guilty by the law and are sentenced. In the event where “a bread winner is sentenced to serve a long term in prison” there’s great emotional breakdown, families breaking down, children dropping out of school, no food, house rent, such are the problems faced by families of inmates. We will help through our Child Sponsorship program provide education support to such Children & as God provides, we will also provide for such families food, clothes, bedding and also help them start income generating activities to help them sustain their families.
• Coordinate a very vibrant and active network of Prisons Outreach Ministries; this will help bring down the problem of service duplication.
• Through the weekly Prisons outreach program, we will continue to source for material resources to distribute to inmates such as soap & shavers to improve on their hygiene & for the young women provide sanitary pads & also provide mosquito nets to reduce the spread of malaria. Some inmates spend long periods of time without anyone visiting them.
• Initiate victim – offender negotiations & out of court settlements as a means of reconciliation & forgiveness, Mathew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive men for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions”.

As we’re very new in this Ministry our major and number one need is staff development and training to gain skills on how to handle & minister to inmates.

Further, the Prisons Outreach Ministry is in great need for:-
• Material donations such as Gospel Tracts, Bibles, Magazines, Books, etc
• Similarly we also need clothes, you find many inmates in tattered clothes
• Blankets many inmates do not have anything to cover themselves as they sleep
• Similarly we need mattresses for prisoners, many of the prisoners sleep on bare floor, as a substitute and less costly for US$ 4 you will buy a papyrus mat which is able to accommodate 2 inmates
• Shoes or sandals or for a substitute we can buy sandals made out of used car tyres they’re very long lasting and less costly, for US$ 2 you will buy one pair which will last for 2 years without breaking.
• Donations are also needed to support families of the inmates. For those interested in sponsoring inmates Children to school, this costs US$ 24 per month, however to reduce on the costs involved in transferring funds we always advise our sponsors to transfer this money at once e.g. US$ 96 for a full term or US$ 288 for a whole year. These funds are for tuition, school uniform, feeding, scholastic materials & medical care.

As a ministry, we need:-
• Financial support & partnership to operate & coordinate the Prisons Outreach Ministry. The financial needs before us range from transport, telephone expenses, and email & internet services
• Salary expenses to employ full time Prisons Outreach Ministry & Volunteer Coordinators, Social Workers etc
• Sound or public address system
• A Prisons Outreach Ministry Van
• Funds are needed for stationery
• Funds to reproduce & print materials and print ministry T-shirts & Ball Caps to promote the Prisons Outreach Ministry.
• Funds are also needed to organize training seminars & workshops for all those ministries & organizations involved in Prisons Ministry; this is something that is non existent here.

For Further details you can contact us:- Tel:+256787478212

“The the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food: I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’” Matthew 25:35,36 NKJV.

Pray for God’s grace as we serve the Prisoners.















PREACHING AND TEACHING

Pastor Samuel Waswa serves in this capacity as an itinerant minister and usually preaches in friend's churches on the some Lord’s Day and in Conferences. Our hope in this ministry is to influence churches to better doctrine, discipleship and edification. We seek to minister God's grace as the pastor preaches and teaches the grace of God.

"Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching." 2 Timothy 4:2 NKJV.

Pastor Samuel Waswa ministers the word in ‘Saturday’ sermons about Youth’s morals and general preaching and testimonies on African Bible College Radio at 99.3 FM in Kampala- Lubowa (Radio ABC). And also recorded Sunday sermons presented on Air to Uganda and Africa (In English, luganda, lusoga, lunyankole) Languages. The Lord has blessed and guided this ministry since 2007. At my church- I normally go away when other preachers are on the preaching list.

Pray for God’s grace as we engage in Preaching and Teaching.






 ORPHANAGE +STREET KIDS OUTREACH
In this work we evangelize, disciple and seek to integrate Street Kids into the church and then eventually to reconcile them with their families, as God allows. We also minister to the Street Kids in a drop-in center and day shelter which meets in a church building where the Kids are served shelter, friendship, food, baths, the gospel, sports and counseling.

“Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo heavy burdens,
And to let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out?
When you see the naked that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?”
Isaiah 58:6,7 NKJV.

Pray for God’s grace as we serve Street Kids.
