Every year Catalyst asks attendees to bring supplies and donations to support various causes and organizations as part of the Convoy of Hope. I was honored when the Catalyst team offered to include Uganda Bible Project as one of their...

Nathan's story

Nathan is a university student in Kampala, Uganda. He came from a Christian background but had disregarded the faith for quite a long time. In school he had been living a life full of partying and wild pursuits for quite some time. His selfish pursuit of enjoyment and pleasure had damaged his relationship with his parents, and even school administration. Nathan felt his life was lacking...

Wow.....320

I received a report from Uganda today detailing the 320 Bibles that have been distributed so far. It’s a list of individuals who have received Bibles, and other ministries or pastors who we have partnered with to equip with Bibles for their outreach or discipleship programs. As I looked over the list and short descriptions I couldn’t help but smile knowing that each name represents a...

Thank you for following our blog and being a part of this project. We’ve already raised enough money to provide Bibles for 354 people but we need your help to reach our goal of 2500 Bibles. I wish you could see for yourself the joy and hope that these Bibles are bringing here in Uganda. Every person, every story, is so unique and encouraging. Please help us continue to share the need and impact...

Under the mango trees

We passed through the inner gate of the prison and headed toward a group of over 150 inmates crowded on wooden benches under a pair of mango trees. Across the distance I could already hear drums, voices, and homemade instruments as they worshiped and sang together. Their weekly church service had already begun. I was visiting the prison with Joseph and Emmanuel of The Bible Way, one of our new...

A Bible for John

It is exciting to see the different opportunities we have to meet the need for Bibles here in Uganda. It is not just about people who need a Bible for themselves, but also those who want a Bible to give to someone else. Last week Lois came to the church office seeking a Bible for her friend John. John lives a floor above Lois in the dorms on campus. Lois has been reaching out and building a...

David, Conzesa, and Harriet

After picking up over 200 more Bibles this week it wasn’t long before more university students came to us in need. David, Harriet, and Conzesa came to the church office of United Faith Chapel across from the campus of Kampala International University because they had heard that they may be able to get a Bible. They are all new believers. I sat down to talk with them as they passed around a pen and...

84.

Yesterday was a day I have been eagerly anticipating for a long time. After countless times sharing the need for Bibles and telling stories of the people who have inspired this project, we were finally on our way to buy Bibles. Kennedy and I drove to the the Uganda office for Biblica (formerly International Bible Society) to meet our contact Christopher for the first of hopefully many trips to...

False Teachings

More insight from Kennedy Kirui on the need for Bibles in Africa: “Another thing here is that there are many wrong teachings going on, and most of the time people go by the spoken word and don’t have a chance to study scripture as the Bereans used to do in Acts 17:11 – because they don’t have a Bible. It is always exciting to me to hear people come to me with revelations from God’s word and say...

The rest of Yusuf's story...

“I need a bible.” It was this simple request from Yusuf, a Muslim high school student, which made me realize we had to do something to meet the need for Bibles in Uganda. I promised Yusuf that although I wouldn’t be able to get him a Bible personally before I left Uganda, I would make sure he received one. Before leaving Uganda I passed Yusuf’s information on to my friend Kennedy, the pastor...

Kennedy is also the pastor of one of our partnering churches, United Faith Chapel on the campus of Kampala International University. I recently asked Kennedy share some insights into the need for Bibles in Uganda. Here is part of his response. “Many people in Africa would love to have...

Daniel's story

This is where God first began to lay the need for Bibles on my heart. Ggaba is a fishing community nestled along the shore of Lake Victoria on the outskirts of Kampala. There in the middle of a crowded third story classroom I met Daniel I spoke to Daniel for a few minutes and he shared some of his story with me. He had given his life to Christ 6 months ago and was attending a local church, but he...
