OUR MINISTRIES


Children’s ministry
This is the essence of our mission at Jesus is Lord Ministries. Under this program we assist orphans and vulnerable children and we have 50 registered child children under our care and offer them much emotional needed care. So many of our children have suffered a trauma of losing their parents due to HIV/AIDS or living in extreme poverty and we seek  to alleviate by providing a safe ,loving our children are free to be kids again.
FOSTER CARE:
Most orphaned children with family ties are supported by their relative’s places. JILM provides education support, medical attention, school uniforms and scholastic materials to these children. Without it, these less-privileged children would have no access to education and medical care.

WIODW’S MINISTRY
The Women ministry is initiative by Jesus is Lord Ministries which is made up of HIV-positive widows, grandmothers, and guardians.
in social and economic terms, HIV/AIDS epidemic hits women hardest.
When AIDS cases in women first started getting attention, some studies found that women were not living as long as men were, after being diagnosed. It soon became clear that the epidemic was striking women harder than men, or because women were less responsive to treatment. Rather the reason for shorter survival terms was thought to be socio-economic. Women with AIDS were more likely to be poor, with less access and thus less likely to get prompt medical attention. They were also less likely to get a definitive diagnosis of HIV disease.
The vulnerability of the rural poor women increases; it’s women who shoulder the burden of caring for the sick and the dying.

Caring diverts their energies from economic production that would provide income. Causing food insecurity, decline in nutrition, lack of money to buy medicine thus health decline. Mostly in Uganda women living with HIV/AIDS than men head households. They cannot meet all the basic needs of the families such as Medical care, food, clothing, paying school fees and other welfare.
The death of a husband often leaves women without access to sufficient resources to provide for their families.  Many times, these women are HIV-positive themselves and may lack access to basic healthcare at the same time that their health needs prevent them from providing adequate care to their children.
  
This ministry is under a Christian organization but works with all people regardless of their faith or religious affiliation
  
Your support will make a world of difference for these women and their children.  Please consider a donation to the women project.  Each donation of $120 will provide enough start-up capital for one woman to support her family with an income-generating small business. 

The project is aimed at equipping women with lifetime skills through training in various aspects, including art and crafts and setting up a business. Jesus is Lord Ministries has 32 registered widows who are in critical need of your help.
“So create awareness and take action”, support widows to strengthen their capacity building through implementation.
“Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the 
fatherless, plead for the widows” Isaiah 1:17



PRISON MINISTRY
Jesus is Lord Ministries is reaching out to the lost and hopeless in the prisons of Uganda (East Africa). The prisoners are in very poor conditions with no medical care and little food. Evangelist Ivan and Evangelist David are bringing the life transforming message of Jesus Christ to these men and women, along with regular visits by our team; we provide also physical help such as food and other help. Their goal is to see these prisoners become workers in the Kingdom of God and good citizens.
Jesus is Lord Ministries reaches 36 prisons total, and have a full time team that go out to the prisons. We see many prisoners get saved every month, We also see God moving with a mighty hand with miraculous healings and deliverance from demons. Many others have been touched by the ministry and are now outside prison and doing well! Some prisons are completely saved (all have answered our altar calls)! We want to continue to reach out to these poor prisoners in the terrible, dangerous prisons in Uganda with life saving medical help and the life changing truth of the GOSPEL! Jesus came to seek and to save the lost!

SCHOOL OUTREACH
Jesus is Lord ministries goes  out to preaching the gospel in primary schools, High schools and in vocational institutions as well, During school periods, we organize a group of dedicated preachers who go out in schools and in this ministry, Many young men and women have surrendered  their lives to Jesus. We do not just leave these children after ministering to them, we do the follow ups and supply them with Bibles, Bible trucks and encourage them in the Lord.
We do the following too:
-   Plan schools HIV/AIDS programmers.
-       Education and communication activities like music dance and aimed at HIV/AIDS prevention programmes.
-       Training school students to go out as volunteers for HIV/AIDS.

OUR FAITH


 
                                          
We believe in the one ever living, eternal God: infinite in power, Holy in nature, attributes and purpose; and possessing absolute, invisible deity. This one true God has revealed Himself as Father through His son Jesus Christ, in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit, by emanation.(1 cor. 8:6; Eph. 4:6; 2 cor.5:19; Joel. 2:28).

The one true God, the Jehovah of the Old Testament, took Himself the form of man, and as the son of man, was born of the Virgin Mary. As Paul said, “and without controversy great is the mystery of Godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the spirit , seen of angels, preached unto the gentiles, believed on in the world , received up into glory’’ (1 Timothy 3:16).
‘’He came unto His own, and His own did not receive Him’’ (John 1:11). This one true God was manifested in flesh that is in His son Jesus Christ.
We believe that,’’ …..in Him(Jesus) dwelled all the fullness of the Godhead bodily ‘’(col. 2;9). For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell’’          (col. 1:19) Therefore, Jesus in His humanity was man; in His deity was and is God. His flesh was the lamb, or the sacrifice of God. He is the only mediator between God and man, ‘’for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus’’ (1Timothy 2:5).
                                                  
God used many title, such as ‘’God Elohim,’’ ‘’God Almighty,’’ ‘’El shaddai,’’ ‘’Jehovah,’’ and especially ‘’Jehovah Lord,’’ the redemptive name in the Old Testament.
‘’…..unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…and his name shall be called the wonderful counselor, The mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The prince of peace’’ (Isaiah 9:6).This prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled when the son of God was named. ‘’And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall be called Jesus: For he shall save His people from their sins’’ (Matt. 1:21).
‘’Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given men, whereby we must be saved’’ (Acts 4:12).

In the beginning God created man innocent, pure and holy; but through the sin of disobedience, Adam and Eve, the first of human race fell from their holy state, and God banished them from Eden. Hence by one man’s disobedience, sin entered into the world. (Gen. 1:27; Rom. 3:23; 5:12).

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. II Timothy 3:15-17.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:4-6.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. John 1:1-4; Matthew 1:23; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 & 4:15; Acts 1:11 & 2:22-24; I Corinthians 15:3-4.
We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. Titus 3:4-7; Luke 24:46-47; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Acts 4:12.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. Galatians 5:16-18; Romans 8:9.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. Revelation 20:11-15; I Corinthians 15:51-57.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church. Ephesians 1:22-23; I Corinthians 12:12, 27.
We believe that the ministry of evangelism is a responsibility of both the Church and each Christian. Romans 10:9-15; Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:18-20; I P


WHAT WE VALUE
Jesus is lord ministry is the focus as we serve in providing restoration, care and encouragement to the impoverished and to the downtrodden. The Jesus is lord ministry relies on the generosity and servant call of all Believers to take care of the weak and the fatherless (Psalm 82:3, James 1:27, Isaiah 1:17).
GOD’s PRESENCE — That He is here with us. He is present. He is personal. He is active in our lives and He is in charge of our church. We firmly believe that His Word (the Bible) is real and relevant to our lives. We believe that Jesus is as present with us as He was with His disciples throughout the pages of the New Testament; thus, we believe He still heals, He still delivers, and He still speaks!
WORSHIP — We believe that worship is lifestyle and doesn’t just happen when we sing in cooperate worship. Our way of living is a reflection of our inner values.
OUTREACHLuke 19:10 tells us that Jesus came to seek and to save that which is lost. We need to be out there among the lost, actively seeking to bring them the message of Jesus. We long for His presence to be among us. This will have a dramatic influence on the lost. He said, “When I am lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me.”
COMMUNITY — The local church is to function as a family (see Acts 2:42-47). We should be constantly looking out for one another, and seeking to meet each others’ needs in any way we can. We see true Christian community as loving our neighbor as ourselves. The word neighbor is all inclusive—from our family and friends to those trapped in lifestyles of addictions. We long to see the transforming power of Jesus reach out to ALL HUMANITY (see Luke 5:30).
DISCIPLESHIP — In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus told us what the goal of all this was: “to make disciples.” It is our hope that those who are more mature in the Lord will reach out to those who are new-borns and seekers. If we all pour ourselves into a few people, we could one day, “turn the world upside down.” (Acts 17:6) This is how Jesus did it!
Faithful and Reliable Relationships change the lives of people.
Authenticity recognizes our identity in Christ is what defines us.  It establishes our skills, our limitations and our credibility to serve others (Galatians 2:20).
Partnership reflects our belief in the value of community and allows us to combine resources to better serve a needy world (1 Corinthians 12:20).
Integrity is essential as we use funds and resources entrusted to us for this work (Proverbs 10:9).
We of Jesus is lord ministries  focus on promoting positive outcomes for children and widows demonstrating integrity, openness, honesty respect for individuals.
