Pastoral Training - Our project plan is a 3-year school, in which the pastors spend one week out of every month learning the Word of God. By the end of the 3-year program, the pastor will be taught systematically through each book of the Bible and tested out of all 66 books. Widows Ministry - There are currently 150 widows in the program through 6 local churches. Food from the Business as a Mission (BAM) farm feeds the widows on a monthly basis. The trained pastors from the Pastoral School set up outreach committees to visit the widows on a weekly basis. Training and discipleship are the key tenants of this mission. Sustainable Farming (Business as a Mission [BAM]) - The BAM (Business as Mission) Farming project been built on a model of self-sustainability. The mission of the BAM Farm is to support the salaries of the mission, the cost of the Pastoral School, and to help the community. BAM Farm is located in Adak village which is approximately 25 kilometers outside of Gulu city.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
