God has strategically placed Favor of God Ministries in order to act as a “birthing room” for many of His plans and purposes in northern Uganda. As an inter-denominational group of Christian ministries with a passion for the unity of the Body of Christ, the LORD has enabled FOGM to draw the leaders of many churches together in order to birth His purposes.
Prayer is the foundation and “engine room” of Favor of God Ministries. We believe that it is only through effective, fervent prayer, birthed in the heart of God, that lasting fruit is produced. Therefore, we are committed to bathing everything we do in prayer, and to working toward seeing the Church in northern Uganda become “a house of prayer for all nations”. Our vision is that every home, village, camp, church and community will make prayer the first priority. To this end we have been involved in establishing prayer alters in several camps, regular prayer gatherings and many city-wide prayer events in Gulu. Our ministry house, itself, is known as The House of Prayer and welcomes anyone to any of our internal prayer events.
Love is the driving force of all that God does, because God is Love. Therefore, we seek to love God with all our hearts, minds, souls and strengths and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves…even if those neighbors are not working with us. We help anyone who requests our help, if God gives us the power to do so. In God’s love, we care for 31 orphans through the House of Hope Ministry. We distribute clothing, food and other necessities in the IDP camps and in Gulu town. We have a flourishing trauma counseling program that brings forgiveness and reconciliation to the victims of war through Christ’s love. And we seek to provide an atmosphere in our ministries where all who access our services know without doubt that God loves them.
Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. “Jesus did that for us all on the cross. We, therefore, are committed to lay down our lives to “seek and to (see) saved those who are lost”. We are committed to bringing the Good News of God’s love to northern Uganda and to equipping believers with an understanding of Who Jesus is and of the abundant life in His Kingdom. We are committed to shining the Light in every dark area in order to see people walk free because of the power of His Truth. We do this through evangelistic crusades, portable Bible schools in the IDP camps (including Mailbox Club for camp children), New Life Bible College, campus ministry and our prison ministries.
Favor of God Ministries is based in Gulu, Northern Uganda with a vision to see the Church united and commissioned for bringing sustained, transformational revival to all areas of life - spiritual, moral, social, and academic – both in northern Uganda and throughout northern Africa.
