Mission
We exist to mobilize and encourage God’s people in North America to actively support, serve and facilitate God’s work in Africa through ARM Uganda.
Vision
To develop “Next Generation” Christian leaders in Africa who transform society by living Christian lives based on biblical principles. Our child sponsorship program allows children in dire circumstances to be fed, clothed and educated. ARM ministers to adults by introducing single mothers to cottage trades and men to business mentoring and pastoral training. With the help of Children's Hunger Fund, our Mercy Ministry supplies food to thousands of children and adults in the war-torn and AIDS-ravaged areas of northern Uganda.
History
Pastor Peter Kasirivu founded and has led this ministry out of Gaba, Uganda, since 1990 and, with God's guidance, has grown it from a house church of 15 people to a congregation of over 1,500 who participate in the various ministries of ARM. Being a holistic ministry, ARM focuses on spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ through planting churches and starting and supporting schools, orphanages, and clinics.
Accountability
ARM is a member of the ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) – an accreditation agency that provides official financial approval and authorization to evangelical charities and churches in the United States. This is the highest financial accountability endorsement a ministry can receive. ARM is also a member of the Evangelical Fellowship of Uganda.
The ministry has a US-based support organization that is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, along with a Ugandan organization in Gaba, Uganda.
Africa Renewal Ministries, USA is a registered 501(c)(3) organization.
Donations made to ARM USA are tax-deductible in the United States.
Future Goals
God has given us the great dream of duplicating the "Gaba Model" in areas around Uganda and East Africa. Progress is underway in several areas in Uganda: Bethany Village, Deo, Kawempe, Kapchorwa, Mubende, Mayuge, Rakai, Mbarara, Namutamba and Gulu. In each of the villages, we will build and help support a church, school, orphanage and clinic in conjunction with ARM's Child Sponsorship Program. Work has begun in each village; however, the need is great. We are praying for churches who will partner with us to complete these projects.
