Future Prospects
Among others, projects below are listed for implementation
The Deanery also plans to establish a radio station. The radio station will help to address the changing approaches to worship, which were innovated during the outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic, rendering little or no access to places of worship. The radio will enable the Church to reach out to both Lutheran and non-Lutheran Christians in the deanery and beyond.
The Deanery also plans to establish a Health Centre at Kyamujwara village Masindi Municipality. The Health Centre will not only improve health conditions of the Lutheran congregants but also for the communities around.
Among others projects listed for implementation included plans to establish a technical institute for the Deanery. This will go a long way in imparting technical skills and knowledge to present and future generations.
Taking staffs for further studies. This will apply to both teaching and also House of Clergy so as to enable them acquire more knowledge and have capacity building programs that will enable them to deliver efficient services to God’s people.
