Uganda

Since 1987 Uganda-which used to be called the “pearl of Africa”, has been terrorized by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a rebel group engaged in an armed rebellion against the Ugandan government in one of Africa’s longest-running conflicts and devastated by the HIV epidemic.

In 2006, on a trip to Uganda, officers of Resplendent Hope met Pastor Peter Kasiviru.
Pastor Kasiviru has demonstrated the love of Christ to the “least of us” through church planting, child sponsorships, building and staffing orphanages, relocating refugees and providing medical care.
