Come and Serve (CAS)

Come and serve (CAS) provides a strategic opportunity, not only to share ideas, but to identify critical areas for collaboration that could strengthen the Gospel work of Living Word Uganda. As Living Word Uganda, we pursue an intentional commitment in Gospel collaboration with what we term as “gospel trip”.

With a Conviction that God is at work in the world and in the lives of individuals. Living Word Uganda offers an opportunity for our Partners to come, discover, and explore the work of God in Uganda for the agreed period of time. During this time a visiting partner(s) can explore ways of joining us in task of raising faithful bible handlers.

The need to partner with us

Christianity in Uganda has grown and in many ways we

          • Unprecedented commitment to personal evangelism by students on the university campuses.
          • Church members who are taking the challenge to seriously share their faith in love at their work places
          • Eagerness by the Ugandan church to take the message of the Cross to all ethnicities and cultures in the world.

With all this registered commitment and zeal, we still face challenges like prosperity gospel prevalent in our country, untrained pastors leading mega churches portraying a bad model of pastoral ministry, less interest in study of Christian literature and ministry fragmentation. All theses and more require a united effort if the great commission is to be realized.  Therefore, a call to come and join in the work.

Who is eligible?

Anyone who is passionate about faithful gospel proclamation, is excited about the vision of Living Word Uganda and is willing to come and explore. The willing partners assess their giftedness like teaching, leading small groups, administration, music training, photography and matches it with the available opportunities at living word Uganda to come and serve.
