In the Weinsteins own words: One of our privileges in life has been to sponsor a child through World Vision. In 2008, we chose a child from northern Uganda, Opio Stephen, from a wall filled with photos of children to sponsor. As we learned about the reality of living in war torn Uganda our hearts began to soften toward Uganda. This heart condition led us on a journey which included visiting Uganda several times on short term missions and visiting Stephen and his family. Our hearts now have us living and ministering full time in Gulu, Uganda, where we plan to live for as long as God desires.
Along the way, we have had the backing of friends, relatives, our home church,The Grove, and our sending agency, Harvest Alliance. We were "prayed up" for our move here in 2019 and knew that we were walking the path God had laid before us.
As we were getting ready to leave our home in Riverside, California, several people asked what we would be doing in Uganda. We were not completely sure, we just knew we were called and would do whatever the Church needed. Yvonne knew she wanted to teach sewing and use that as a ministry to fellowship and help generate income for the women. But Jeff was a bit unsure about what God had planned for his life in Uganda until the meeting with the leadership of Gulu Bible Community Church.
That meeting solidified our role as “Church Mission Specialists” – That is what the church leaders here are calling us! Our focus will be to offer expertise and guidance for evangelism, church planting, discipleship and leadership development. We will also visit and support the pastors and churches planted by the Grove Church in Lira, Anaka, and now Adjumani.
A local Pastor, Martin Onen, has proposed “Vision 2040” whose goal is to plant 10,000 churches in ten African nations in the next twenty years. We will play a part in this plan as we do research to develop best Christian practices, look to build relationships with agencies in different countries and establish systems that can be replicated and used for trainings.
In addition to her sewing ministry, Yvonne has been asked to use her computer skills to train the new pastors, help with websites, newsletters and report writing and she is approaching this with enthusiasm. Jeff will use his background to assist with developing business and leadership classes and helping with programs for the men in the community.
