God at Work in Kabale

From the moment we arrived in Kabale, God had many things for us to do. Pastor Johnson Bakashaba met with us to define the vision of Revival Tabernacle Ministries and the phases needed to partner with the ministry in a variety of ways. As we talked we identified several priorities in the short term.


First the church facility is not adequate for the growing congregation. (There is a nearby building that is used for small group meetings but is too crowded for church services.)They have moved to the land they own and are using a temporary structure which is woefully inadequate when it rains. While we were there it rained a lot and the tented structure had to be repaired due to no substantial roof. (See picture below.)


The church is the central meeting place of the ministry and a new community center/worship center will provide a home base for many activities such as AWANA, crafts ministry training, medical and mercy ministry to orphans and widows and mid-week and Sunday services and Bible studies. At the same time funds are accumulating to begin a House of Hope for abandoned or orphaned children. The short term ministry tasks pertain to working with Engineering Ministries International to come up with a basic facility to accommodate 500 people and find a home for the children in the neighborhood. Like Nehemiah we are prayfully considering what needs to be done, seeking approval from various Ugandan sources, doing careful research and developing a plan. Please join us in prayer as we know God wants many people to be involved in this ministry.

Long term plans include acquiring more land to build Houses of Hope for children, a school, an Internet cafe, a community kitchen at the church, a dispensary for the medical and mercy ministry, a guest house to generate income and also provide life skill training for orphans along with a child sponsorhip office.

The foundation for administering the ministry needs to be solid to allow for a meeting place for the various activities in the interim. Step by step the Lord is ordering our way so that we build a strong foundation in the church as a hub and branch out as we partner with the congregation in Kabale.
