10/24/24 Northern Uganda Church Plant
We are thrilled to highlight Faith Baptist Church in northern Uganda. This year alone, Global Baptist Training Foundation trained pastors have started 455 church plants. This brings to almost 1,100 church plants through Global Baptist Training Foundation and the nationals working with GBTF. This church, Faith Baptist Church, was planted in 2023. Pastor Peter Ongom was a GBTF student. He completed our program and has gone on to be one of our trainers!!!!
Pastor Peter also became a church planter. So many of our GBTF trainers are also pastors or are involved in starting new churches. This thrills us because those actively involved in ministry have so much more experience to base their training on.
Pastor Peter Ongom was also supported for one year by our partner, ADVANCE, who support some of our church planters at $50 per month for one year. His support has ended, and he has not only been able to start a church in an area that had no gospel witness, but he has now built a building for this church.
Pastor Naboth and Pastor Ntare traveled a long distance to be present for the church dedication. Two couples were married on the day of the dedication. The video linked here is about 5 minutes long. It is worth your time! You will see the countryside of Uganda, the dedication of three GBTF team members, and the skill of Pastor Ntare in making this video. He is now our IT Director!!!
This is God’s work through nationals! Global Baptist Training Foundation is thrilled to be part of this amazing process. The gospel is flourishing in Uganda, and throughout Africa, through nationals trained, training other nationals, and winning their nations for Christ!!
Unfortunately, Pastor Naboth contracted malaria on this trip. We are happy to report that he is improving and doing much better after being hospitalized.
To God be the glory! He is doing great things. Join this great work at www.globaltrain.org!
