Some background on Uganda (Source: Wikipedea): Beginning in the late 1800s, the area was ruled as a protectorate by the British, who established administrative law across the territory. Uganda gained independence from Britain on 9 October 1962. The period since then has been marked by intermittent conflicts, most recently a lengthy civil war against the Lord’s Resistance Army, which has caused tens of thousands of casualties and displaced more than a million people.
The official languages are Swahili and English. Luganda, a central language, is widely spoken across the country, and multiple other languages are also spoken including Runyoro, Runyankole Rukiga, Langi and many others. The current President of Uganda is Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who came to power in a coup in 1986.
Uganda’s economy generates income from annual exports that include coffee ($466.6 million), tea ($72.1 million), fish ($136.2 million), and other products. The country has commenced economic reforms and growth has been robust. In 2008, Uganda recorded 7% growth despite the global downturn and regional instability. Uganda’s struggle to achieve their economic status was primarily due to decades of wars and corruption resulting in the nation being considered one of the poorest countries in the world.
Pastor Peter Kasibante founded Christian Abundant Life Ministries in Wobulenzi, 48km north of Kampala City in 2002. In his first service he was alone but now, praise be to God, they are many. Their vision is: To build the church of at least 500 people; To build an orphanage home of at least 100 orphans whose parents died AIDS\HIV and internal political wars; to build a Bible school (offering certificates and diplomas) and to build a primary school. They have already begun an Infant school. He requests prayer for the needs of the poor children in their area and the vision God has given them.
