Welcome to the May 2026 edition of our Luwero Newsletter
Conference and Children’s Club
Family
Deborah and the girls are doing well. Gabriel enjoyed a 4 week visit to Germany in March. This was a full, valuable and blessed time spent with supporters giving lectures and visiting church and school communities . He was also able to enjoy a short vacation visiting Paris with friends.
Schools
Staff changes: 2 new teachers have taken up vacant posts in the primary school.
Some new pupils joined the school this last term. Eight pupils graduating from S6 at the secondary school during the last
academic year have entered University for further education.
Parents also enjoyed a visit to the school following mid term exams at the end of March
The schools are currently on mid term break for 2 weeks in May.

Jerusalem Farm continues to develop with 43 acres of maize currently under cultivation. The farm has a new manager, resident on site. A new church has
been established at the farm for local people
Clinic
There is a new nurse at the clinic. Her name is Madiina Nabirooto
Church
Church life is good. Often different families take the services each week. These photos are of the Ester Family ministering in April.
Conference and Children’s Club
Rev Stuart Smith and Ernie Bayton returned to Luwero to speak at this year’s 14th annual Pastor and Church Leader’s conference earlier this month. Ernie’s report gives full details of the conference, the Childrens Club and ICCU news.
Read the full report from Ernie here.
Ernie’s return from another adventure in Uganda:
My own return journey to Entebbe was somewhat different to a normal trip. We left Luwero at 2.00 pm, dropped Deborah off at a new church opening in Luwero where she represented LCM, after which we went to Jerusalem Farm, collected a puncture enroute, encountered a stretch of back road, axle deep in mud, drove through an area flooded to knee-height for people wading through the water and still managed to stop for a meal and arrive in time to check-in at Entebbe! Life now returns to some kind of ‘normality’.
Our thanks also to Stuart Smith and his continued commitment to the work in Luwero.
ICC Library
The new International Christian College Library has now been opened. Those are some of the students from Luwero Community secondary school who were doing research about Biblical Background. More details in Ernie Bayton’s report.
Points for Prayer
- For the family health and ongoing treatments
- For much needed rain and for a suitable irrigation system under God’s provision in the future
- For those who attended the recent Conference and Holiday Club – that God’s Word faithfully taught has been received and acted upon
