| Prison Work in Kakiika |
God has given us the privilege to be able to go into the Ugandan prisons and minister to the prisoners
- assisting the prisoners with medicine, clothes and food on special occasions, helping them with
books so as to learn to read, helping to improve the prisons, through the preaching of God's Word to
the lost and then discipling those new converts in the way of Christ. God has blessed this ministry
with several continuing to serve the Lord after being released. We are so thankful that God given us
many faithful men who are doing the work of God.

In addition to our ministry to the prisoners, God has also blessed us with an opportunity to reach the prison staff. The
deputy in charge of the prison allowed us to begin holding Sunday services for the staff once a month beginning in June
2009. Currently, we are going every Sunday. It has the resemblance of a military church since there are weeks when all of
the men are on duty and cannot attend. However, the Lord is blessing and we have seen many saved and baptized. Some
are being discipled.
