General Information

History

Africa Renewal Ministries (ARM) is located in Ggaba, Uganda, East Africa. Our desire is to reach the lost and to renew the people of Africa through salvation and education. We accomplish this through the love of Christ that provides hope in desperate circumstances. Pastor Peter Kasirivu founded and has led this ministry since 1990, and with God's guidance, has grown it from a house church of 15 people to a congregation of over 1,500 who participate in the various ministries of ARM. Please see our Doctrinal Statement for a detailed description of our beliefs.

Holistic Ministry

ARM focuses on spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ through planting churches and starting and supporting schools, orphanages, and clinics. Our vision is to

Develop “Next Generation” Christian leaders in Africa who transform society by living Christian lives based on Biblical principles.

ARM ministers to adults by introducing single mothers to cottage trades and men to business mentoring and pastoral training. Our child sponsorship program allows children in dire circumstances to be fed, clothed and educated. With the help of Children's Hunger Fund, our Mercy Ministry supplies food to thousands of children and adults in the war-torn and AIDS-ravaged areas of northern Uganda.

ARM is a member of the Evangelical Fellowship of Uganda. The ministry also has a US-based support organization which is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. A US Board of Directors provides guidance, accountability and support for ministry operations in Uganda. Africa Renewal Ministries, USA is a registered 501(c)(3) organization. Donations made to ARM USA are tax-deductible in the United States.

Future Goals

God has given us the great dream of duplicating the "Ggaba Model" in areas around Uganda and East Africa. Progress is underway in several areas in Uganda: Bethany Village, Deo, Kawempe, Kapchorwa, Mubende, Mayuge, Rakai, Mbarara, Namutamba and Gulu. In each of the villages, we will build and help support a church, school, orphanage and clinic in conjunction with ARM's Child Sponsorship Program. Work has begun in each village; however, the need is great. We are praying for churches who will partner with us to complete the projects.
