Springing up Hope and Life in Uganda

by Julius Mugabe

My goal for Uganda is to see individual believers become Disciples of Jesus Christ, to experience spiritual intimacy with God and fellow believers, and to disciple those who will then do likewise through the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 2:2)

Julius and his wife Angela are a family of five to include two sons of their own (Jadon, Victor) plus Sanya, the son of Julius’ late brother.

I have experienced a much deeper relationship with the Lord through the Step-by-Step training I received from Disciplers International (DI).  My time in worship, prayer, and Bible study is more meaningful than ever and has been truly life-changing. DI has given me the opportunity to learn from other experienced believers, which has helped me feel closer to Jesus and helped me to better understand His character and His teachings.

Through my discipleship training and mentorship, I am developing a ministry strategy that focuses on reaching church leaders, church members, and children. We are also involved in impacting school institutions, organizing prayer networks and scheduling training and leadership conferences.

Our online discipleship training is greatly impacting the lives of many pastors and leaders who in turn are training others…

My faith has increasingly grown and my relationship with Jesus Christ has improved so much. I have been challenged to love God more, to think about others more, and to make love the primary motivation in all I do. I am seeing God work in and through my life to serve His people. I am motivated to be part of the DI family, which is all about equipping believers to grow in their intimacy with God as they boldly live out their faith in Jesus, impacting the lives of others by training them to become true disciples of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19-20). It is my desire as a minister of the gospel to grow in spiritual intimacy with God and fellow believers, and to disciple others who will do likewise.

My vision is for children to live with hope and dignity, enjoying good health and being productive as they walk with the Lord. We inspire and empower them to reach their God-given potential, helping them to know, obey and love the Lord. Our mandate to train up children in the way they should go, And when they are old they will not depart  from it. (Proverbs 22: 6) Discipling them is a means to that end.

We are devoted to meeting them on a weekly basis in our Community Bible Club for discipleship. Children are our most precious resource, because they are the future and they demonstrate God’s love in a broken world. We must to care for them and treat them as God treats us – His children – with love and guidance.

JOSHUA’S STORY…

Joshua is one of the disciples who has gone through Step-by-Step Process. He is a secretary on the local council of one of the communities we serve. During one of the discipleship sessions, having been asked to create an imaginary journey to help him focus on God and enter into His presence, Joshua said, I thought of people in authority whom I honor and bow before in humility when I am in their presence, and yet they are just ordinary human beings like me. Then I imagined the awesome greatness and goodness of our heavenly Father in comparison to people, and how much He deserves to be worshiped, adored, and revered. Realizing this through my imaginary journey leads me into His presence to worship Him like never before.
