Uganda

Uganda lies on the northern and northwestern shores of Lake Victoria and includes a large portion of the lake within its national territory. It is otherwise surrounded by South Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Democratic Republic of Congo. Called by Winston Chruchill the "pearl of Africa," Uganda is now enjoying a period of relative peace and stability.

ECLEA in Uganda

Uganda is the first East African nation in which Jonathan Menn taught (in 2005). That trip was a key point in changing the focus of Jonathan's life and ultimately led to the formation of ECLEA. The formal commencement of ECLEA in early 2013 necessitated the formation of a new ECLEA-Uganda committee of pastor-teachers. We now have a solid and lasting, Uganda-based, structure that will result in much fruit in the years to come.

Here are updates from ECLEA's Uganda team concerning ECLEA's work in Uganda (older news accounts of ECLEA's work in Uganda and the rest of East Africa are located in the News Archive):

Stephen Sempala, ECLEA-Uganda national coordinator

February 2026
Warm greetings in the Name of the Lord.
I am pleased to share that the ECLEA trainings are continuing successfully across the centers. The coordinators remain committed, and the overall momentum is steady and encouraging.
We are especially grateful for the many testimonies emerging from different regions regarding what the Lord is doing through these trainings. The ECLEA materials are not only being received well but they are truly transforming lives.

Several leaders have testified that:
* One pastor shared that for the first time he clearly understood the centrality of the Gospel of Mark in shepherding the church, and he has since begun restructuring his teaching around sound doctrine using the knowledge he got from Expository Preaching rather than topical motivation he has been used to.
* Another leader testified that the study on servant leadership convicted him deeply about his motives in ministry, leading to repentance and a renewed commitment to shepherd with a pure heart 1 Timothy 1:5.
* In one center, participants reported that the training has helped resolve long standing misunderstandings about church leadership qualifications, particularly after studying passages such as 1 Timothy 3. They described it as light entering the room.
* Some leaders have expressed joy in finally receiving systematic, Scripture rich training that answers real life ministry questions rather than surface level discussions.

It is beautiful to witness the joy of knowing Christ more deeply, growing through sound teaching, and being strengthened in biblical foundations. Even more encouraging is the growing emphasis on multiplication. Leaders are taking seriously the instruction of 2 Timothy 2:2 to entrust what they have learned to faithful men and women who will also teach others. We are seeing not only growth, but the beginning of generational impact.

The ECLEA approach structured, Scripture centered, and practical continues to bear fruit in both the hearts and ministries of the participants.

We remain deeply grateful for your continued support, partnership, and encouragement. The impact is real, and the fruit is visible.

Kind Regards,
Stephen
