Uganda Christian Veterianry Mission

 Nakabaat Artisanal Mining Association (NAMA)

God introduced us to this group of gold miners during the COVID-19 pandemic. They had never had their own church at the gold mines and implored us to come and have church services and pray with them. We decided to start a church their and became their friends and mentors. To empower them to become legal in Uganda, we helped them to form an association and get registered so that they could get a gold mining license. We are happy to see that they are well on their way to being licensed and making their own gold mining businesses to glorify God.
