Threads of Hope: How a Tailoring Shop Became a Beacon of Transformation in Uganda

Looking Back: A Year of Multiplication

As we step into 2026, we want to thank you for being part of the movement to bring hope, transformation, and the gospel among the unreached—in the hardest places. Your generosity and prayers in 2025 have made a real difference—across Africa, Asia, and beyond.

Last year, through your support, we saw local leaders launch new businesses, plant churches, and multiply disciples in some of the world’s hardest places.

Odwori and Harriet’s Story: Sewing Seeds of Change

Odwori and Harriet live in a rural community in Uganda where opportunities are limited and many families struggle to make ends meet. Inspired by a vision to serve their neighbors and create lasting change, they decided to start a small tailoring shop. With support from local leaders and training provided through our organization, they learned not only the technical skills of tailoring but also how to run a sustainable business.

Their shop quickly became more than just a place to sew clothes. It turned into a hub for the community—a safe space where people could gather, share stories, and support one another. Odwori and Harriet began to employ other local women, providing them with valuable skills and a steady income. The shop’s profits helped send children to school and ensured that families had enough to eat.

But the impact didn’t stop there. As trust grew, Odwori and Harriet started hosting small gatherings in their shop, sharing stories of hope and faith. These gatherings blossomed into new house churches, where people could explore their faith and find encouragement. The tailoring shop became a center for both economic and spiritual transformation—a living example of how empowering local leaders can multiply hope in even the hardest places.

Because of your partnership, stories like Odwori and Harriet’s are multiplying across Uganda and beyond, showing what’s possible when communities are equipped to create their own future!

Our Big Vision for 2026 and Beyond

We are boldly moving forward with the 1000/1000 Vision: to see 1,000 churches planted and 1,000 businesses started by the end of 2028. This is more than a number—it’s about lives changed, communities transformed, and the gospel reaching those who have never heard.

What’s Next?

We’re expanding our training for local leaders, equipping them to launch sustainable businesses and multiplying house churches. Our teams are working in over 10 countries from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, using innovative, story-based methods that work in oral cultures. Every act of encouragement fuels this movement.
