Living Hope Ministries - Christian mission support pastors in Africa Asia and Eastern Europe

Peter and Rose have been serving the Lord in Uganda together for over ten years. During that time they have established a school at Kitetikka just outside Kampala. Currently this school educates 800 children ranging from 5 - 16 years. £10 a month makes a lot of difference to these children.

Peter and Rose

They can be fed and educated in a Christian environment. These children are growing up in a place where there is aids, malaria, poverty and witchcraft so they need our support. Also they run a farm, they have planted numerous churches and organise teaching seminars for Pastors in Kitetikka, Mympere, Biseruka, Bushinee, Jinja & Matembe on behalf of Living Hope. Peter has an office at the church in Kitetikka. We are developing a resource centre for Pastors there.

Peter also founded another school at Kiti, a short distance from Kitetikka but a distinct area. He also recently planted a church in Matembe. Pastor Matthew Wright and I have visited this very needy area. There is still the aftermath of troubled days under Obote and the need for medical care as well as education, a church and Bible teaching is great. Kitetikka church is Peter's base and the whole area has been greatly improved by support from friends over several years. However as the Uganda base it has the potential for further development as a training centre.

Peter himself has lived through very difficult times. His mother died when has was very young and his step mother tried to poison him. He found some refuge as a street boy begging and was near to death on more than one occasion as soldiers rounded up people to execute.

Peter and Rose now find themselves wholly occupied helping others. Let us help them to do that work. We encourage you to support this servant of God. To find out how you can do this please click on the contact link and email Richard for more details.

Key Features:

Area 241,000 sq. km. Much of the land is fertile and well-watered. The climate is temperate and in the highlands. Long known as the "Pearl of Africa".

Population	Annual Growth	Density
1990 18,442,000 1995 22,012,000	3.5% 3.6%	77/sq.km 91/sq.km

Capital: Kampala 773,000. Urbanization 10%.
Christian: 83.4%

Economy: A healthy economy in the 1960s, but spoiled by Amin's expulsion of the Asian business community in 1972, then ruined by years of warfare. Good soil and two annual growing seasons make Uganda fertile, but 90% of export income is from coffee, the value of which has halved in three years. Attempts to reduce military spending and curb corruption have had meagre success. The death rate from AIDS among people of working age will have a serious affect on the economy. Public debt/person $161. Income/person $250 (1.2% of USA).

Politics: Independent from Britain in 1962. An attempt to delicately balance the political powers of the southern Bantu kingdoms and northern Nilotic peoples ended in 1967, when the northerner Milton Obote took complete control, favouring his own tribe, the Lango. Anarchy increased until Idi Amin seized power in 1971. The crazed dictatorship of Amin brutalized the country as the army pillaged and murdered with impunity. Amin's invasion of northwest Tanzania in 1978 provoked a vigorous response, and in 1979 Tanzanian and Ugandan exile troops deposed the military regime, restoring Obote to power. Continued inter-tribal warfare and government incompetence racked the country. Yoweri Museveni gained power in 1986 and has gradually brought a measure of stability unknown for 25 years. A paternalistic partial democracy, but with the large army wielding considerable influence. A new constitution was being hotly debated in 1993, and a full-fledged multi-party system will probably soon be adopted.

Religion: RUnder Amin there were restrictions and intense persecution of Christians. There is now freedom of religion.
