Pathways to Transformation Update: Spiritual Growth



Sharing the hope and direction the gospel provides are central to the mission of HEED. This month, our village church will celebrate its 10-year anniversary. Just like our faith, the congregation and church have grown little by little.

2011-New believers gathered outside our first classrooms after the crusade


2012- Church members donated iron sheets and an 

open-air structure was raised


2013-The church was given a plastic-wrap 

to protect from wind and rain


2016- A friend of HEED helped the church

raise a permanent brick building

2019- Doors and window frames were added

2021-The church is complete, primed and ready to paint


The Story of Kyakitanga Worship Center

In 2011, our partner ministry, UCOM, sent a mission team to Kyakitanga to host a crusade with a mission team from the US. We rejoiced over the thirty new believers who joined together to form Kyakitanga Worship Center by the end of the week. 

First, they met in a classroom at the school. Then an an open-air structure was raised when church members donated sheet metal for the roof. We rejoiced when the brick structure was raised in 2016. It has had unfinished brick walls, bare dirt floors, and open windows until last month. We are over joyed that a finished church will be ready to celebrate their 10-year anniversary when churches reopen in October. It will be a double celebration!
