Missionary Projects

Amazon Project

For the past several years, Central has sent teams to assist Amazon Ministries International (AMI) with their mission to make disciples along the Amazon River Basin. AMI is focused on pastoral training and church planting. In the past five years, 30 churches have been started and buildings have been built for 12 of those communities. In addition, over 100,000 Bibles have been distributed in pastor’s conferences and river communities.

Uganda Project

Since 2007 people of Central United Methodist Church and other interested Christians have journeyed to Uganda on four missions.  This beautiful East African nation is also a country of widows & orphans - racked by poverty, hunger and disease.  CUMC created the Uganda Mission Project to help meet Uganda’s diverse needs for food, safe water, education, and improved living standards.  Feeding physical needs allows credibility to our efforts and those of local pastors to share the good news of salvation. Our mission provides medical clinics, works in orphanages and schools, and serves as a needed community resource.  Everyone demonstrates God’s love and healing in practical ways, sharing the Gospel in the towns of Jinja (south) and Gulu (north).

In earlier missions, CUMC has:

• Treated thousands in medical/dental clinics
• Provided  two tractor trailers of clothing to Pastor Edward and His Mercy Church
• Invested in goats and chickens to help 30 widows support their families with dignity
• Helped build a church in a rural village
• Built a school and housing for 32 orphans
• Secured  land to help United Methodist Church plan for a ministry resource center designed to help displaced families relocate back to their homes
• Planned and supported establishment of 6 churches in rural areas.

Through the Uganda Mission Project, you can be a “repairer of broken walls” and “restorer of streets with dwellings” (Is 58:12).

Through you, impoverished Ugandans may receive a blessing of comfort and hope; you will receive a blessing you can’t imagine!
