With Church leaders in UGANDA.

May 1985
Outreach International mission announces the plans for formal

registration of Christian Churches (Churches of Christ) in Uganda, this

will be the first item of business for Samuel J. Wanedendeya, evang

elist. Sam Wandendeya announced this plan to A1 Hamilton and Dr.

Floyd E. Clark, consultant for O.I., while he was here in the States
for minor surgery in August. This will be the first time for the
effort to officially register the Christian Churches in this country,
where work was begun in 1982 when the Hamiltons went to Mbale, Uganda
to work in evangelism at the request of Sam Wandendeya.
Due to the coup' in recent weeks, the orphan children cared for
by evangelist Wandendeya are suffering from lack of food and clothing.
Samuel has plans for building a simple and yet adequate building for
the children who have special needs which the "expanded home" plan
for caring for homeless children will not be possible. I.D.E.S of
Kempton, INdiana is prepared to receive gifts for this project. Please
pray that adequate medical help and missionary personnel will be forth
coming to meet the great opportunities for evangelism and desperate
lack of medical treatment, to two areas of most serious needs, in this
country. It is expected that the present MILITARY government will be
favorable to Christian work, and it appears that any new elections in
effort to have a democratic form of government will bring positive

results.

Please be in prayer for this ministry and the country of UGANDAI

Outreach International, a mission that begins work in new areas,

has asked Dick Hamilton, experienced missionary from Kitale, Kenya work,
to be in charge of further development of relief work and other outreach
services beginning in Jan. 86. lord willing. Dick has agreed to accept
this responsibility, and will work with A1 Hamilton and other members

of Outreach INternational, to continue reaching more of Uganda for Christ.

HELP for the orphan work in Uganda and the needs for these children
can be directed to IDES P.O.Box 60 Kempton, Indiana 46049, please be
sure to specify, UGANDA MISSION. Other enquiries about missionary work
there can be addressed to Outreach Interna=ional- address above:
