	DELIVERANCE CHURCH-UGANDA
		*�I will give you every place where you set your foot� Joshua 1:3*


	Deliverance Church establishes, operates and engages in such projects, activities, schemes and programmes that are of charitable nature and provides relief and rehabilitation, reconstruction and development in communities that it works in. The projects include:

Education:- In relation to the mission statement, Deliverance Church Uganda offers Nursery and Primary Education. There are two schools in Mukono, one in Wairaka, Lugazi, Mbale and Masaka, which cater for daycare and primary education. These are run by the local churches except in Mukono, Lugazi and Wairaka, which are run by the Ministry Team.The general emphasis herein is Kingdom Education. Ordinary curricular subjects are taught with a strong base in godly principles of integrity, purity and accountability.

	The aim is to raise a God fearing generation that will be the handle of revival in the nation.

	*The disadvantaged Children:* The Church runs a Children�s Centre specifically for the disadvantaged. Those that have been orphaned by the AIDS Scourge. The centre located at Kayunga in Masaka District involves the children in goat rearing, rabbit keeping, growing subsistence crops, in order to instill agricultural skills in the children. These agricultural practices too act as abase for earning money, which can be used to pay for school fees for the same children.The earliest primary school under Deliverance Church started in Kasana, Luwero District in 1987. Now under New Hope Uganda Ministries (NHUM), this project has its horizons stretched to secondary school education.


	HEALTH PROGRAMMES 1. TAIP (The AIDS Intervention Programme): This was started in 1989 initially as GAVE (Gospel to


			AIDS Victims Everywhere) but later changed to TAIP for purposes of fitting in with the scope of work.The project aims at training church members in loving and caring for AIDS patients in communities where the churches are.


		With its strong base in the eastern districts of Iganga, Kamuli and Jinja. TAIP has become a major outlet for sharing the gospel to the AIDs

victims and some have committed their lives to Christ. Commitment and a strong localsupport for this project, has brought hope for the neglected and dying. TAIP also extends food support to AIDS patients who in most cases are the breadwinners of the family but once bedridden, working to feed the family becomes impossible.

2. Water Project: Through the California based Life Water International, the main donors of drill machines and sponsors of wells, the Deliverance Church Ministry sought to bring water to communities that hardly had any. In 1967, Pastor Nicholas Wafula visited Apac District with a team of American Doctors. It is here that the visiting team was astounded to find that human beings shared the same source of water with cattle, which made them vulnerable to diseases. Out of this visit followed a donation of shallow well drills in 1988 and subsequently one technician was trained in Nakuru-Kenya to handle this project.

	Unfortunately the programme was hampered by lack of funds and more so, the machine on hand, could only drill alluvial and clay soils to a maximum depth of 30 meters. This has also been complicated by poor transport in the area. This project is being implemented in partnership with N.G.Os like CPAR, World Vision-Uganda, and Christian Children Fund. Communities in the districts of Lira, and Gulu in the north, Masaka in south-west, and Busia in the eastern part of Uganda have been the main beneficiaries of this project.

3. Medical Projects:
Always referred to as �Ministry through Healing�. This deals with the physical aspect of the human being. Initially, funds were secured from �Salt and Light� a sister foundation to begin the work. There are currently two clinics one in Ndeeba Kampala District , and Buasonguyi in Mbale District.

The main snag of setting up a string of Medical facilities in the country has been self-sustainability of such facilities in poor communities. For this reason a medical clinic in Apac District could not be sustained by the church due to lack of funds to sustain the staff and ensure a steady supply of essential drugs.

In the same way, Deliverance Church helps to witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ through acts of mercy and compassion in word and deed. This is where the preventive objective fulfilled communities have been sensitised on health matters and the good old saying �Prevention is better than cure� observed. Occasionally during revival meetings in rural and poor communities, the medical staffs are on hand to treat patients and educate them on preventive measures.
