Live For Him Ministries January '25 Uganda Trip

 

Hundreds of bricks were laid, and hundreds of children heard the good news of Jesus at the January 2025 Live For Him Ministries Mission Trip.  Nine individuals committed their life to Christ and were baptized, and thirteen teachers were trained and encouraged.  Three hundred people were served two meals daily.  All thanks to many generous donations.

The Generous Support of Many Is Making Dreams Come True

In December 2023, the Live For Him Ministries Board dreamed of providing support for a school in Bulgiri, Uganda.  Thanks to the generous gifts of people, that dream has become a reality.  The Live For Him Ministries Children's Academy is now helping nearly 400 children by serving a noon meal for all the students, offering scholarships to 47 secondary school students, and making a small stipend possible for the teachers.   Thank you to all who have given of their resources.

Our History

Live For Him Ministries grew out of a mission trip that Rev. John and Julie Battern took to Africa in the fall of 2021.  Since that time, John has been teaching pastors in Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia via the web.  Along with some mission minded friends, Live For Him Ministries was founded in 2023 in order to further the scope and reach of training and equipping disciples in Africa.
