The Joint Christian Association  is  legally Registered with the Republic of Uganda. The vision came from different church leaders  and ministries in various districts of Eastern, Central and Northern Uganda and some parts of the Great Lake Region. These churches and ministries realised the need of working together in order to promote the gospel in a Holistic perspective with the following objectives:

 

1.                 Evangelism and church planting

2.                 Education by establishing and partnering with schools in order to support needy and orphaned children and youths.

3.                 Agricultural input and food security to rural communities by organising seminars and seeds/seedlings support with a component of Environmental Preservation.

4.                 HIV/AIDS and Primary Health Care to families affected by various diseases.

5.                 Business skills promotion and micro credit programs to poor families I the urban and rural.

 

The Association has grown todate with 10,000 members including children. It is now operating in Northern Uganda, Eastern Uganda and Southern Uganda and some parts of  countries in the Great Lake Region.

 

The more we reach out the gospel, it is the more the Lord is adding more members and needs for our intervention and support that leads to the following challenges:

 

1.                 Lack of trained personnel to train others and volunteers and missionaries.

2.                 Lack of funds as the association runs its programs on local contributions from subscription fees/membership fees.

3.                 Lack of infrastructure in terms of its own office premises, schools, hospital and health centres.

4.                 Civil war in the Easter and Northern Uganda that has lasted for 20 years causing many to be poor and leaving so many orphans without care and forcing people to stay in internaly displace people camps  with problems

5.                 HIV/AIDS epidemic and other diseases like malaria and malnutrition that cause many children to die below the age of 3 years and the many orphans.

Getting involed

Our strategy, is to invite well wishers, friends, donors/partners, corporate bodies, international ministries, volunteers, singles and families in developed countries, we encourage visitors to intervene in our struggle so that we reach out the love of Christ to those improvise  communities of Uganda and other parts of the region.
