The Jinja Mission Team is guided by the vision of establishing a holistic, indigenous ministry to the Basoga people, so that they might know the love of God and the freedom of Christ. We believe that God is working in powerful ways as we partner with Ugandans to engage Busoga with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We invite you to explore this site to learn more about our team, the people of Busoga, our ministries, and more significantly, our God who is doing wonderful things in Jinja, Uganda!

Since 1994, our team and many, many others have been working to cultivate the gospel in the lives of the Basoga people of
Uganda
. In the past 14 years, we have realized that not only has the word of God been cultivated into the lives and hearts of the Basoga, but into ours as well. We have gradually been moved away from traditional mission ideas of self-sufficiency and sustainability to what we perceive to be more gospel ways of being – partnership and shared responsibility. Recently, I had the opportunity to travel back to
America
to speak at conference called “World Mission Workshop.” The topic for my presentation was “A Kingdom of Priest: Partnering with Nationals.” I want to share an excerpt from that speech as a way to reveal to you what we have experienced and seen God doing in the past 14 years (by the way, God has been working here a lot longer than that!). We believe we have heard the word of God here in Busoga, and our hope is that you can here that word as well.
Richard Bazonoona became a Christian in 1994, along with his wife Ida. Since that time both he and Ida and their children – Rogers, John Mark, and Rebecca have grown in our churches and have helped our churches grow.
