What We Do

Teach & Train

"My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). In Uganda lack of education is a powerful source of despair. Throughout the 22 years of war, hopelessness reigned as people lived in IDP camps and had to focus on simply surviving. Many children were born in the IDP camps and lived their entire childhoods and adolescence in those dreadful conditions - no jobs, sparse education, filth, disease, fear, and violence. To offer education and training is to offer a future of promise. We provide formal training in our Christian Primary School and our accredited New Life Bible College. We also go out to spread the gospel and then disciple and teach intensively in our Portable Bible Schools and Prison Ministry. In every ministry Favor of God undertakes, we are always training simultaneously so that the work and development can continue in our absence.

Reach & Serve

As powerful as the gospel is, it is not enough to fulfill Jesus' calling to his church. With need all around, we must follow his heart and take in the orphans, counsel the broken, heal the wounded and diseased, and teach those who are hungry for something more.

Matthew 25:35-46 says, " 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' "

Prayer & Networking

Prayer preceded Favor of God, the organization, and prayer continues to stand as our solid foundation. Through prayer, the north and south began to act as one against the war. Through prayer, the denominationally diverse community of Gulu is united every day to lift up the nations. Through prayer churches have come together to fight spiritual battles in villages shutting down because of demons. In every village and IDP camp we enter, we strive to set up a prayer altar to further unite all of Uganda as the powerful and undivided body of Christ.
