Our Story
For many in Kampala, work does not rise above survival and identity goals; with God’s help, we knew that needed to change (we still pray it does).
First stirred by conversations in 2024 among a group of Christian friends in Kampala. (Eddie & Rhionah Ssemakula, Ivan & Maria Agaba, Ayebare & Amara Kagina and Rhoda Mukasa) Kampala Faith and Work organically grew out of the prayers and reflection of Christian friends, who found their work-lives often untouched by the beautiful Christian doctrines they daily held dear.
A few months into the middle of the same year, they were talking to mutual friends about their heart and passion until their mutual friends couldn’t stop talking too.
Then there was a Global Faith and Work intensive that accelerated our convictions about gospel city engagement; like they say, the rest was history.
58 meetings and 6 cohorts later, Kampala Faith and Work now mobilizes multiple Christians across denominations to catalyze a much-needed conversation to serve a city shaped by secular ideas about work, with a reformed view of vocation.
Today, we cultivate this homegrown urban mission effort, mobilizing city marketplace Christians to promote personal communion with God at work through regular faith & work prayer, learning, and fellowship.
Our latest cohorts cover Muyenga, Bukoto, and other emerging locations. partnering with members of local churches, including Cross Fellowship Church, All Saints Cathedral, Lugogo Baptist Church, Ssenge Baptist Church, among others
We want to facilitate wider learning on themes of faith and work in a context of networked and Christ-centered professional relationships.
We envision a city and country where deepening disciples are working to glorify God across their sectors and callings, resourced and fueled by an ever-bottomless gospel and Christian worldview.
Oversight over our work is supervised and prayed for, by the board at Together for the City Kampala, a local church-planting and revitalization network of healthy churches in Kampala.
