Welcome!

This website is the online home of Jesus Is Lord Ministries.

We are located in Wairaka Village, Kakira Sub County, Jinja District in Uganda. We are 7km away from Jinja town, near the shores of Lake Victoria Iganga High.

Jesus is Lord Ministries is a faith-based organization, reaching across all the denominations and mainstream religions. Our ministry is motivated by Christ’s message of love to the children, “Let the children come to me.”

The vision of Jesus Is Lord Ministries is to embrace needy widows and and orphaned children, caring for them and meeting their needs from basic living to their spiritual needs, and to sustainably enrich, support and equip the vulnerable orphans with knowledge, skills and attitude to realize and use their own potentials for their better welfare and that of their communities.

We work, with the help of local churches, donors, sponsors, and volunteers, to restore hope to the AIDS orphaned, vulnerable, homeless orphans and widows who are being left to struggle in the district of Jinja and in Ugandan communities at large.

Why Should You Help to Support the Suffering Widows and Orphans of Uganda?

We understand that as an individual or the member of an organization you are asked frequently to give money. We know that it is important for you that your money is used wisely and effectively. Some of the main strengths of our projects is that there is no waste and very little loss of resources, and you can see clearly the result of your donations. We act directly on the ground with volunteers or paid workers, we don’t have to go through bribes, political contributions or anything else. Our operations are modest and low-key. (We are not one of those organizations using brand new $40,000 four-wheel drive vehicles or staying in fancy hotels with swimming pools, or buying ultimate technology equipment.) A financial contribution from you can make a huge difference directly into someone’s life, with results that you can see as the help is in process. You can help to relieve one of the major burdens on the shoulder of Africans. Helping AIDS orphans and widows to access better health care, nutritious food and formal and vocational education is one of the most concrete things we can do in showing them Christ and in lifting them out of poverty and thus giving them a chance at a good life.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
Become our partner! Get involved with us in a variety of ways and make a lasting impact on the children we serve. Whether you decide to volunteer in Uganda or in your own country or to make a financial contribution – your support is tremendously appreciated.

Partner with JILM
Become a partner with JILM in your own country or area. Volunteers are required at various times going into the villages spreading the word of God and showing the love of Jesus.

You Can Pray
We are a Christian Charity so we would like for you to join us in praying for a solution to the crisis. We have real confidence when we approach the Father in Christ’s name, knowing that He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3:20, NIV).

CHILDREN’S SCHOOL NEEDS

Here is the current list of items that are needed for the children’s school

Heavenly greetings to you all our beloved brothers and sisters in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
We trust in the Lord Jesus Christ that you all and your families are doing well and enjoying the presence of Our Lord.

Our Thanks

We would love to extend our great thanks to all our brothers and sisters who have supported JESUS IS LORD MINISTRIES UGANDA prayerfully and financially to meet the needs of the children (orphans, street, needy and vulnerable children) who are under our child care program.

You all dearly fall under this scripture :

James 1: 27
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

Our Request

On 8th of September 2014, schools in Uganda will be officially opening and students will go for their third term or end of year term ,the children lack school tuition ( fees) and school supplies.
We therefore request that you prayerfully consider supporting these children with school fees and supplies since they can not stay in school without them since those without are being chased back to their homes hence missing a lot from school.

The List of School Needs Still Unmet

We have listed down each school item with the amount in USA dollars value the number of items needed, We request you to give to any of your choice according to any of the following items listed . Your monetary donations and support will go directly to purchase the school supplies for the children.

ITEMS USA ($)

School tuition (fees) 450

26 Dozens of books 96 pages 40

36 Dozens of books 48 page 43.9

8 Dozens of mathematical sets 49.8

5 boxes of pens 31.2

10 boxes of pencils 49.8

TOTAL $664.70

Please any amount the Lord directs you to give is accepted. No matter how small it might be it will make a bigger difference in a child’s life.
We highly value your donations since the ministry entirely operates by your donations. We therefore appreciate your prayers and support that you have offered to make sure that the children’s needs are met and we wish we could meet you in person to show you how much we appreciate.

THE WIDOW’S TESTIMONY

A widow at the home cell prayers gave a testimony and here it goes:

At night around 3pm when I and my children are sleeping, I heard a child saying “Who poured water on my bed?”

The child was feeling and touching something so cold; I had to wake up and get a candle.

When I checked, it was a big snake on the child’s bed!!!!

We cried for help from the neighbors and they responded so quickly, the snake was killed.”

There are so many great miracles that the Lord is doing in our home cell prayer group and the numbers of people are increasing every time when we go for prayers.

This is what our director David Oteko in Uganda told the group after the testimony:

The Lord says in Psalm 91: 13

You will trample upon lions and cobras,
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet.

Psalms 91:14 says:

The Lord says will rescue those who love me,
I will protect those who trust in my name.

Please my brothers and sister, stand with us in prayer for this ministry that God will continue to do mighty miracles for the widows and orphans.

WIDOW’S CRAFTS PROJECT

Our widows are making paper necklaces for income-generating activities and soon they will be on sale here and hopefully on Etsy.com as well.

This project will help the widows and their families to earn a living since these crafts will be sold all over the world. They are in different colors and we hope that you will order a necklace or other craft to help a widow in Uganda. More information coming…

A Visitor from Australia

It was around 3pm 30 Thursday when our managing director Mr.David Oteko, (the one in the white shirt in the photo,) got a call from our Lovely Sister Maria Ruiz from Australia saying that she was already in Kampala, Uganda and she was so eager to visit our ministry on Friday, May 31st. On Friday afternoon, she was already in Jinja waiting for Mr.David Oteko to go and pick her and we really shared a lot with her at the office, she was really a blessing to us and the ministry at large.

She spent the whole day with us and she really appreciated our work.
