Why Uganda Needs Hope
Through radio programs of all types, from music, to Bible studies, to counseling, Words of Hope Uganda is working in over a dozen languages to minister to the whole person.
Though Christianity is popular in this country, extreme poverty and lack of education make it nearly impossible for churches to adequately disciple those who are coming to know Jesus. Words of Hope’s Ugandan Director explains that while many are born into the faith, they often starve spiritually because no support structure is in place for their growth. Nominal Christianity is common. In fact, many Ugandans who self-identify as Christians simply know that they are not Muslim.
The Problem
Many Ugandans identify as Christian, but biblical understanding is often shallow, leaving young believers vulnerable to false teaching. Health-and-wealth preaching is widespread, and syncretism is common—a blending of Christianity with animistic practices, ancestor worship, or the influence of witch doctors. These distortions of the gospel can easily mislead people and weaken the witness of the church.
Our Strategy
Share the gospel and teach sound biblical truth through radio programming, a daily devotional, and television broadcasts.
Invite listeners to in-person events, offer counseling services, and provide addiction recovery programs.
Equip believers with a clear understanding of their faith and the ability to stand firm in the truth.
