THE MISSIONS
Mbarara Kashari Mission 2009 – 2013
Mbarara District with its Capital city Mbarara is located in West Uganda. The main East- West route and transit road from Kenya to Rwanda crossing Kampala (Central Uganda) leads through this area. Bwizibwera, a village in the rural sub district Kashari, is about 25 km north of Mbarara city. Bwizibwera means: good water.
The first contact was made at the end of 2009. For many years the small village church in Bwizibwera had prayed in vain for a change and unity. God intervened by sending Pastor Vennie from Germany with an assignment and a message to Kashari. Since then, several conferences and seminars had been held in Bwizibwera, mainly in cooperation with DINE Ministries. This led to awakenings in the surrounding churches and districts. Prayer groups and networks began do re-dig the earlier wells of revival.
Masindi Kyema Mission 2011-2024.
The little village church in Kyema invited DINE Ministries for a first weekend seminar in January 2011.
The “Conference centre” was a little papyrus church on the compound of Pastor Charles Majara, an open shelter to gather for worship, prayer and service.The papyrus walls and the iron sheet roof provided some shelter against wind, rain and sunshine. For guests were plastic chairs prepared, for the pastors wooden banks. The local visitors gathered on papyrus mats under a torn canvas roof set up for the conference. The wind blew red dust through the open church, whirled up by many dancing children. Drum rhythms supported the local worship songs and grazing cows nearby created a very unique atmosphere.
Pallisa Kamuge Mission 2011 – 2016
Kamuge village, about 15 km east of Pallisa town, is located in Pallisa District. East Ugandans wide lowlands are often flooded during rain seasons. The swampland of Lake Kyoga enables the cultivation of rice.
Sorghum, maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, various vegetables and cotton are growing in the fields. Reforestation programmes try to stop the soil erosion. Prevalently eucalyptus and pine trees are planted.
The new found church in Kamuge Putiputi invited DINE Ministries spontaneous for a one day seminar in 2011. Mid of November the DINE team visited the new Open Bible Church in Kamuge Putiputi, found by Pastor Simon. The message was well received. There is a great need for training seminars, prayer altars (prayer networking) and inter-denominational cooperation.
Kampala Conferences – 2015 – 2017
The German- Ugandan DINE Ministries Team could share this message in 2 missions 2015, ministering in different churches in Uganda, Ruanda und Burundi. Each ministry covered 2 months January – March and October – December. Everywhere the hearts of people were touched and revived. The Spirit of God led to prayer, transformation and a deeper understanding of the importance of unity and prayer- networking.
