MOSES ARINAITWE IN HOIMA UGANDA 2009.

FOUNTAIN OF LIFE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY.



This is the ministry aiming at reaching all communities with the word of Hope in Jesus Christ.
We looking forward to plant a church in Hoima town as part of extending the kingdom of God.

I am happy to be in Hoima this year doing God’s work. The work of preaching the gospel in schools and praying for the sick in Hospitals is bringing many people to Christ I thank God for that for it’s by his grace that I am doing it.

God’s work of reaching communities is good only that there is the price we have to pay. I have been in the field here preaching the gospel but what I have seen Is that it’s sacrifice you can preach the gospel while you are even hungry and even fail to get any body who can give you water for drinking. Preaching the gospel here is a great task where by no body will help because of poverty they are willing to help but have no resources. Only you give your eyes to Jesus Christ. There are some times i seeing the day and it doesn’t get over because of the circumstance I meet in the day. There is cost for the gospel and you don’t need to give ears to the thoughts that rise in your mind. There are some evil minds that come and ask me that where your destiny is if you are preaching the gospel in this poverty land where by you have no body helping you in finances and the debts you enter every day as the cost of preaching the gospel. But I try to remind the devil that in matt 8:20 Jesus said that “foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the son of man has no place to lay his head.” Even the son of God suffered I believe there is a day he will say that thanks my faithful servant.

When I finished my studies at the bible school last few months one person told me that he will support me at this initial stage where I have no body to support me financially. He said that he was going to finance me but after I had reached in midst of need and even the ministry hard started, He told me that he was not able to do it. I discovered that there God wanted to discover my position of faith whether I have faith in him. I discovered as a person that God needs his total dependency. Some times if it’s time to sleep hungry, I say that God you know that man will never leave by food only but even by the word of God.


The cost of preaching the gospel is heavy and we need to stand firm in Christ. People around me have been asking me the reason as why I have studied theology even I spend my time reaching schools and hospitals where there is no one who will pay me and which causes poverty. I do tell them that God called me with the purpose and these none saved says that that is just an excuse for nothing. People in this community have been with the belief that if you want to become a pastor, you have to work and when you are old after retiring from the work then you begin serving the Lord. But I have been using this opportunity teaching them that God wants to use even young people who still have energy and he used David as a young man.

People in the community to day have begun changing that perspective because God uses me in a special way by his grace. When they are tormented by demons they come for prayers and after seeing demons go they praise God for that. They some times come in my house for prayers when they see the situation coming worse and God extends his hands to them and they end up getting saved. Because of schools ministry and hospital ministry, I have discovered that I am fully committed to Gods work and God is changing his people and my staying in Hoima is of importance before the Lord. The devil is fighting much now a day in families and schools some time they call me and I find that I am doing this work full time without time of doing another thing, God’s work of preaching and even praying for the sick with no time of working in other fields to get money for my sustainability some times scares me but when I ask for a job I find that I have to work for 12 hours 6days every week there I will be with no time for ministry and I feel it’s my call. I pray that God may provide so that I may begin a business that can sustain me and my ministry.


Here in Hoima if some body employs you, he wants you at a place of work 12 hours and 6 days and some times 10 hours 6 days here the person is able to give you some money monthly. I found out that at least it needs capital so that one employs himself or her self. Because if I am employed like that, There will be no time for ministry.


In Hoima I have been assigned a responsibility of overseeing 14 churches these churches sat down and discussed that they need me to be their Leader. They contacted me at the same time they hard to give me a formal letter written and signed by all the Leaders of these churches. There are other churches which are asking me to join my ministry and me as their leader. There I see that God has called me in this place but as you know that Africa is the Land of poverty these are the people who are very poor but they love the work of God. They want the services but they are poor and can’t afford to support me in terms of transport and even supporting other ministries in these churches. I see that God created them and he knows them and that is why he has sent me to them so that I may help them. I have spent few years helping these churches not as the top leader but as the leader and even by the time I was in the bible school but after seeing my services they approved me as their Leader after my studies at the bible school.

School ministry Is a great ministry but it needs much time for there are few people reaching schools. I have discovered that the students are getting saved seriously and they are following the teachings of the bible that I am offering to them. I have seen that this ministry needs to continue in schools because these are the future generation that will stand to talk about Jesus and even they will help in discipleship. The only challenge I have seen is that students have no money for buying bibles if there is any organization that can come out with the help of providing bibles to poor communities it can help in discipleship and evangelism.

There are many challenges as far as administration is concerned for there are very many needs and little provision both in schools ministry and church administration. This becomes a big challenge in the ministry for sure there are things I see that are needed in the ministry and I just show them to Jesus.

Another great challenge I have got in ministry is that there is lack of enough funds for transportation. Here we have no van and even when we are traveling for missions we need to take some musical instrument and you find that people are willing to hear the gospel but no means to get there.

Lack of musical instruments when we are going for ministry we some times hire musical instruments and you find that it’s costly and this limits the services. People come while they are many and you find that because of limited funds we have traveled with musical instruments which are weak and some times with no machines.

Lack of finances has even led to lack of enough requirements for hospital ministry. Hospital ministry needs finances where by every time we go for hospital ministry we find there people who need help. You find that they have no body with such patients in hospitals without any help including serious problems like lack of food and other help in the hospital. As ministers of God we have to see away to help such people so that we have supported with some finances.

There are few trained Pastors among the pastors we have you find that in the whole region 10% of pastors are trained here I found that there is little or no discipleship in churches. This is a very big problem because many people are swept by cults groups that rise up from the region. I have seen that there is need of Radio program for discipleship purpose and even creating mobile bible training in these communities. This will improve on the number of people who are just swept by any doctrine that comes out.

I believe God has put this place on my heart with the purpose. Though I see things a bit tough, God has always reminded me that he will never forsake me and he will always be with me in times of lack like these days he will always give me hope for he is the living hope. I believe that there is a day. There are some times I am called in certain places and I decide to borrow money so that I may go and when I reach there, I find that God was sending me there with the purpose.
