Kingdom
View has a dual meaning. It describes an
inviting vantage point over an expansive, verdant landscape. It also points to the Kingdom of God’s guide
to abundant living taught by Jesus of being accepted, secure and significant
rather than the unfulfilling worldly view of success.
The
vision of Kingdom View provides Christians with a haven to refresh and grow in
their faith. This equips them to be light in a culture scarred by corruption
and witchcraft.Why Uganda?
The Rock
Outreach leadership has ministered in Uganda since 2003 through mercy homes,
scholarships, construction projects and teaching. In 2006 we launched a scholarship discipleship
ministry serving Uganda Christian University students. UCU’s vision is “A Centre of Excellence in
the Heart of Africa” and its focus is on integrating faith into every aspect of
life. This creates synergy between the
two organizations. Locating the Kingdom
View near the university provides easy access to students, faculty, graduates, pastors
and other professionals. The atmosphere
stimulates the growth of impactful disciples on and off campus.
Complementary Approach
Kingdom
View complements and strengthens UCU programs, as well as those of other ministries
and churches. Emphasis is on practical
Bible application, development of life problem solving skills and mentoring. Holistic teaching includes Freedom and
Identity in Jesus; Doing Business God’s Way; God’s Plan for Men, Women and Marriage;
and Godly Accountability for Ministries.
The guest house will host mission teams, visiting teachers and African pastors
and their spouses for “marriage refresher” weekends.
Facilities
Imagine
a two-story house on a hill overlooking Mukono in the distance. The secure compound is a pleasant walk from
the UCU foot path that connects by road to this plot of land. On the lower
level is a covered entry with facilities for visitors including a Christian
library, kitchen for cooking classes, sitting room accommodating 20 people for
discussions and casual classes, a dining room to accommodate 20 people opening onto
a covered porch with additional seating for larger groups, two bathrooms and
covered porch areas for conversations with 2-4 people. The upper level is designed with 8
self-contained guest rooms and 2 suites with sitting rooms and breakfast bars
for longer term visitors. All rooms
would open to a wide covered porch designed for small group studies and
conversation for guests. The central sitting room would have a high ceiling to
the second floor for an air of spaciousness.
On the grounds are four self-contained thatched-roofed African bandas
complete with covered porches.
Investment The investment for the land, building and furnishings will be significant but will serve generations of disciples to come. We are proceeding toward an estimate as we pursue available land and await an architectural schematic of the initial plan.
