Key Program
Evangelism and Church Planting Program:
All Born-Again Christians have a mandate of winning souls for Christ here in Uganda and beyond. Righteous Beginning Ministries has a team of trained ministers experienced in propagating the gospel to nations, and African communities. The Program is designed to address and overcome the spirit of apathy and complacency towards outreach, by stepping up and upgrading evangelism activities.
Christians are accordingly nurtured to maturity through applying sustainable and practical steps in Christian discipleship. Ministry ministers and Christian leaders are progressively trained and mentored. Furthermore, our Evangelism and Church Planting Program approach provides a firm foundation for success of future church planting prospects.
Accountability:
WE at Righteous Beginning Ministries team believe in a system of checks and balances, derived from biblical principles of being “faithful stewards” as well as “a brother’s keeper”. We focus on three forms of accountability in our management and reporting systems- to be financially sound, operationally feasible and spiritually dedicated. The Project workers are accordingly streamlined along spiritual, operational and financial dimensions. (Exodus 18:21 – 26)
Statement of Passion:
We are driven by a desire for saving of lost souls to the fulfillment of the Great Commission. We strongly believe that when we lift Jesus Christ then all men will be drawn unto Him. This is attainable through preaching the word of Christ in season and out of season, witnessing to the demonstration of the Power and working of miracles by the Holy Spirit, as well as living as charitable and exemplary Christians in the communities. (1Thes.1:5)
Background of the Project:
Righteous Beginning Ministries [RBM] is a Christian Evangelistic Organization founded to build the Kingdom of God and to support the most vulnerable people in the community.
The Organization leadership and Members have passion of preaching the Gospel, and currently, Righteous Beginning Ministries (RBM) is registered by the government of Uganda according to the law of our country.
The Mission is to strengthen the ministry work in evangelism and church planting, as core role from its inception as well as advocating for moral principles. Other activities for which Righteous Beginning Ministries was registered for includes providing health care, HIV/AIDS counseling, and education services at nursery, primary, secondary and vocational levels. We also have a calling to initiate income generating activities to support people in our communities.
Word from Founder:
”Why Uganda needs RBM”
RIGHTEOUS BEGINNING MINISTRIES [RBM] was set up to address societal concerns holistically by initially focusing on children and youths. By training and bringing up children properly we are sure of a better society today and in future according to the Bible in Proverbs 22:6. For this reason we have placed emphasis on improving quality of life of the children through health care, education and skills development. These activities are to be carried out in a Christian /church environment by church members in partnership with local and international children support ministries.
Over the years we have been actively preaching the gospel in the surrounding Bukoto, Kamwokya, kyebando, Kisaasi and Ntinda areas in the suburbs of Kampala city. Our Youth Evangelism Teams have been visiting Butabika hospital and several health centers to pray and preach the Gospel to patients, workers and people in the hospital despite the meager resources. Two other churches have also joined us to make a strong evangelism and church planting body in rural areas of Uganda.
Our recent surveys through interactions with other ministers and evangelists have shown that there are issues in evangelism, discipleship and nurturing kingdom workers which are adversely affecting the body of Christ in Uganda. These include:
- Many church leaders observed that Born Again Christian churches have scaled down evangelism for lack of resources. Others confessed that they have no deliberate mechanism of developing people’s spiritual lives beyond the altar call.
- Within most churches one will easily find church-goers in the fashion of religious denominations. The biblical call in Romans 12:1-6 of transformed lives of Christians in the communities is far from being realized. Yet we are living in the perilous hard days prophesied in the book of 2 Timothy, Chapter 3.
- In the communities, you find that people are living under severe forms of oppression, suppression, possession and depression by the works of the devil. In the rural and sub-urban areas people are subjected to alcoholism, drug abuse, human sacrifice, prostitution, witchcraft’s and sorcery, and several kinds of devil worshiping through serving ancestral demonic spirits.
- A large number of Born Again Christian churches in Uganda are experiencing external pressures mainly due to resentment and opposition from religious and traditional influences. Internally Christians are backsliding easily, others are weak emotionally and spiritually but the church has remained complacent. Church leaders, evangelists inclusive, have become largely discouraged due to inadequate knowledge and skills, as well as insufficient material and financial resources.
We believe in dealing with external challenges through evangelism and outreach missions (Matthew 9:37-38), as well as to overcoming internal weakness by applying innovative and practical approaches of discipleship within the local churches (John 15: 1-8). For the harvest is much but the workers are few!
Consequently, RIGHTEOUS BEGINNING MINISTRIES has this year set up Evangelism, and Church Planting Program to run one year projects beginning September 2017. Afterwards Evangelism and Church Planting Program will become a full-fledged mission department to uphold evangelism, discipleship training and church planting activities. Its major purpose is to build a strong body of Christ through fulfillment of the Great Commission and obedience to the Great commandment.
Faithfully yours,
