Passion, Purpose and Weekly Updates

Our dream is to raise those the Lord brings to us, give them the best in education, nurture and spiritual development. When complete our center will accommodate 108 children. Many will become church planters, politicians, doctors, lawyers and architects with a new mindset. A new generation of leaders for a new day in Africa!

We’re $11,900 away from completing the water storage system on our land which will provide water for the center and 3000 people in the village. We’re believing God for the finances to complete it by June 1st and to begin construction on the main buildings. Will you help us with a donation today? Your donation is an investment that will yield fruit for years to come and make the world a better place. 

With your help we’ve done a lot in the past 4 years. In addition to training over a thousand pastors, we've formed a Ugandan corporation, obtained the 7 acres of land we've built on, secured land title (almost unheard of for foreigners) and construction permits. We built the perimeter wall around the land and 2 of the 10 buildings. We now have water, electricity, a new road and as part of the many blessings of the Lord, the government chose our village to build the first medical center in the region. We’ve also been given additional land to grow food so the children's center can become self-sustaining. 

The challenges are many but we're so grateful for all God has done. Among the challenges is endemic corruption in government, injustice, violence and a poverty mindset. People here think that we’re rich. This makes it especially difficult for us to teach and train in the Word of God. They don’t believe us when we tell them that we work secular jobs and that people in the US have at least as many problems as they do. But, we're persistent and little by little, they’re beginning to believe us. And, they're beginning to understand that God will bless them if they put first things first. Integrity in finances and marriage, love people and help them grow, trust God for their needs and build a lifestyle of worship and prayer. 

They tell us that they’re changing. They tell us that they’re applying our teachings. And, they're becoming servants and better husbands and wives, they’re spending more time with their children and they’re helping their people heal and grow. One of the gifts we gave the pastors during our 4-day training intensives was a 73 page training manual. It was a great gift for them because they don't have books or training material. However, many of the 55 pastors that completed our training are limited in English, so a couple of them are now translating the manual into their tribal language, iteso. We’re blessed to see them value what we're giving them and to see smiles on their faces and new hope in their hearts. 

In all this there’s a place for you to serve and be part of the transformation of this nation that God so loves, aptly nicknamed, "the Pearl of Africa." There’s so much that we want to share with you, but suffice to know that the cause is worthy of your investment of time and energy. We’re believing God to raise an army of people like you to find their purpose in serving and being His hands and feet to the nations. There’s a place for you in Pederson Ministries and in the homes and hearts of Africa and Peru. 

Please pray with us for the following:

1) Funds to complete our water system, begin our farm (so we can become self-sufficient) and build our main house.

2) Continued breakthrough for deliverance from ancestral spirits attached to the land of Teso.

3) People like you to give, pray, serve and go!

Thank you for loving us and being a person of passion and purpose! God bless you richly!!
