Early Child Development Centre


On the spot where the first missionaries stationed in 1904, there is a Early Child Development Centre which now has 67 children in both Kindergarten and Primary one. We hope these children will develop into responsible citizens. They need our support as they still study in a kind of make shift shelter (grass thatched).

Bishop Johnson Gakumba introducing Sandra Earixson in Bobi recently
Currently the Diocese of Northern Uganda is looking for men and Women who are willing to be trained in the ordained ministry.  Archbishop Janani Luwum is now open and there is hope that the gap being created as a result of a number of senior clergy retiring will be filled accordingly.
Agung is an historical site where the first missionaries of the Church Missionary Society knelt down to pray after crossing the River Nile from Bunyoro. A modern Church is now built on this very important site. We thank God for Bishop Johnson reign in office for just three and half years, but more than 15 Churches have been built. We wish to appreciate all those who are supporting the construction and rehabilitation of Northern Uganda.
