Uganda

We have been working in Uganda for nearly 20 years. God has been working in this country and in these people in ways we could not ever fully explain. True revival is happening in Uganda. The church is strong and growing. It has been our great honor and privilege to partner alongside them for the Gospel.

For the last two decades we have been involved in pastor’s training, church planting, medical aid, evangelistic crusades, school ministry, and prison ministry throughout East Africa. Each year we take dozens of volunteers to minister in Uganda. These volunteers have been used of God in sharing the Gospel with thousands of people. Some of our volunteers have felt called of God to enter into full-time missionary service. We have established a partnership with Arise Africa International. This is a mission organization in Uganda, Africa committed to sharing the Gospel with all of Uganda. Arise Africa International has established over two hundred churches under its care. In addition, they have established an orphanage, provided health care in poor remote villages, and provided training for hundreds of pastors and church leaders. Rick Via Ministries has provided thousand of Bibles and biblical training for churches throughout Uganda.
