I want to thank God for the Grace he gave us this year to be able to continue serving and seeing more souls saved and more people reached through other projects that we do.
CHURCH
I’m very happy to report that in the year 2009, our church has continued to grow in numbers and more ministries created that have brought in more Souls, one of them being the sports department. Through the sports outreach ministry alone, we have received more than 200 new members in our church and at the end of the year, we were among the teams that competed in the National Championship which was finished on 3rd of January this year, our two teams, the under 13 years went up to the quota finals and finished 3rd over all, and the under 15 years went up to the finals and finished 2nd,
Above are the pictures of the ceremony of handing over the trophies presided over by the minister of Education and sports and also the FUFA President {Federation of Uganda Football Association} They are the ones behind in the picture with me and the kids at the front with our trophy. We thank Pastor Eddie who donated to the team balls and Pastor Drew who gave us soccer shoes which brought in those souls.

We had a very successful Pastors and leaders conference where 750 leaders attended. Making a deposit beyond my ministry to now impacting the Nation.
The major challenge we have to address ASAP is expanding the church structure to allow more people inside because it is now too full even where the fire codes don’t exist.
SCHOOL.
King Solomon’s academy was the most blessed last year, we were able to get funding from our friends in Kalamazoo. We were able to buy land for the school and also build and finish the first level of the school which we are already using. This increased the faith of the Kids who testified in their morning devotions about Gods power in answering prayers because they had been praying to God for a better building which they now have.
We were also able to sit for the first time primary seven students who will be going to Secondary level, we expect the results in two weeks time.
Feed the Hungry has continued to bless these kids with highly nutritious meals that have made it easy to make the kids focus on their studies. We have also recorded fewer sickness because of the mwals and the vitamins we give them.
Our Major challenge has been operational expenses mainly salaries.
CLINIC
The Life Link Medical centre has continued to meet the health needs of the people in our community and others from very far, thousands of patients have been treated and hundreds of babies born.
We were blessed to host a medical team from Valley Word which brought in 800 pairs of eye glasses, this was the biggest outreach ministry the clinic did to the community last year..
The major challenge has been the collapsing building and also the funds for rent and salaries to keep this ministry going.
I want to thank you my friend for helping me continue doing this work at a time when the economies of the world are under great shaking.. I have seen ministries in Uganda close, mainly orphanages and schools whose major donors are from the States. We are still open because of you, Thank you for helping me serve the needy in Uganda. I do request you to keep us in your prayers, keep supporting us financially and equipping us where you can to help us touch lives in Uganda.
Thank you very much and lets work together to make 2010 a more fruitful year.
Your fellow servant..
Solomon
