God at Work in Uganda through the JESUS film

Though each of our countries has used the JESUS film as a powerful and effective ministry tool, none has done so more than Uganda. COTN–Uganda regularly shows the film in rural areas, where residents may never have seen a movie before. Along with the film, the staff often performs drama, singing, and other evangelistic activities.

Farming Program Grows in Uganda

A concentration on farming is beginning to take shape at COTN–Uganda. Recently, three goats and one sheep were donated by COTN supporters who are familiar with the needs of COTN–Uganda. Pastor James, COTN–Uganda Country Director, says having the four animals will teach the children in the COTN home a sense of responsibility in rearing animals. “It reminds them of the ways of life in their former villages, where rearing animals is a must for income-generating purposes and diet provision,” shared Pastor James.

A Marriage and Family Seminar in Uganda

When Doug and Loree Nelson of Silverdale, Washington went to Uganda last year through Children of the Nations' Venture Team program, they knew they’d return. But they wanted to do something more specific on their second trip—what could they share with the Uganda people involved with COTN? When one of the COTN–Uganda staff members found out that the Nelsons had recently done premarital counseling for a young couple, he suggested they bring the same topics to Uganda.
