Revival Time Ministry (RTM) is looking for Christian partners to help carry their load financially and in prayer.

They already do many things, as you'll see here, but have a vision to provide a vocational school for girls in Uganda. Especially for about 15 - 25 girls who have AIDS or are HIV positive - unemployed - and/or single parents. They need to acquire survival skills such as tailoring, carpentry, cooking, etc.

They have five acres of land for this vocational school, but need funding to proceed.

Other Areas of Ministry

Twice a year they run Discipleship Schools in local churches for 19 weeks each.

Secondary school students are evangelized through HIV/AIDS awareness programs.

Iliterate village women are taught functional literacy, and household income generation.

Internally displaced people in camps are brought food aid. The gospel is also preached.

Pastors are trained, and teams sent out to evangelize.

Conferences are held around the country of Uganda.

Who is RTM? What are their values?

Revival Time Ministry is an indigenous, interdenominational, registered non-governmental ministry, organized in 1983. Their head office is in Soroti, with a regional office in Jinja.

Their calling is discipleship and evangelism, but given the social state of Uganda, it is impossible not to get involved in practical ways.

Values:
Walking in righteousness.
Trusting God in everything.
Serving Sacrifically.
Being radically obedient to God's direction.

Over the past eleven years they have made an impact on north and eastern Uganda, and have trained over 200 church leaders. Through evangelistic outreach programs they have brought 27,800 souls to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! Praise God!

Special Projects

Teso Women Literacy project.

Teso Womens Loan scheme.

Bugoi Primary School.

Relief and Resettlement of displaced persons

In 1997 RTM began working with groups of woman in Wera and Abarillela (sub-countries in Katakwi District), to give them the power of literacy and earning an income. They created a revolving loan fund, which has a 95% recovery rate.

Now there is an urgent need to extend such activities to the Kaberamaido District too.

Because girls are very much de-valued in the Ugandan culture, they are especially susceptible to illteracy, abuse and exploitation. RTM identifies these needy children for assistance in survival skills, Christian discipleship and general support. Very much, RTM would like some strong financial support to carry out this special ministry.

All the while RTM is carrying out the above projects, they are also focused on reaching adults and children with the gospel of salvation to be had only through Jesus Christ. This includes work in secondary schools, discipleship seminars for home groups, and conferences for all believers, but with special emphasis on training more leaders for both rural and urban churches, and presenting the gospel wherever possible, even going from door to door.

Meet Those Who are RTM

Revival Time Ministry began in 1993 in Soroti, Uganda. God spoke to Pastor Oyako to strengthen the weak and uphold those who are suffering (Prov. 24:11). The Board of Trustees was formed and the organization was duly registered by Government of Uganda as non-profit Christian organization operating in the areas of Evangelism, discipleship and social development projects.

The Founders are:
Pastor Isaac Peter Oyako
His wife Christine Oyako
Rev. Edward Etanu Okiror, Social Co-coordinator
Rev. Etochu Emmanuel, Board of Trustees Chairman

There is a Board of nine members in place to give guidance and leadership.

A staff of seven runs the day-to-day activity of the ministry.

Pastor Isaac Peter Oyako is the Executive Supervisor (CEO)
Ms. Lucy Nabwire is the V. Director and Projects Officer
Ms. Aisha Nakato is the School Ministry Coordinator
Ms. Kevin Ajilong is the Secretary
Mr. Charles Okello is the Discipleship and Evangelism Coordinator
Mr. Moses Eboyu is the Accountant and Financial Controller
Ejiku James is the Projects Field Assistant

Other Volunteers are, Mr and Mrs. Okama Max, who are the Discipleship School Teachers, and Mr and Mrs. Epulu, who are the Vocational School Coordinators.

Religious Denominations: Revival Time Ministry is an interdenominational evangelical organization. All the staff and Board of Trustees are born again and belong to different evangelical groups. The Board of Trustees has one Baptist, 2 Anglicans and the rest are Pentecostals of differing local churches.

The staff are all Pentecostals, but of different local churches.

What They Need Now

Revival Time Ministry is in urgent need of funds to continue their work. Giving has fallen back, As of the middle of 2006 they are in financial crisis! We would urge you to check out the following prayerfully, and then to contact Pastor Isaac directly as God prompts you. Use the form below.

Needs:
Funding to sustain all projects.

Funding for administration i.e. Bills, staff support etc.

Funding for the planned vocational school and Tree Planting projects

Funding for distribution of Pastor Isaac Oyako's book, Discipleship Teaching Manual


Their Current Budget calls for $38,000 US this year.

Their main physical asset is a property of 5 acres intended for a vocational school, but they have no financial resources to proceed.

They have already accomplished much good with their Relief Aid for Obalanga IDPs, their Discipleship School programs, and their literacy and income generation for eight different women's groups!

They have received funds in the past from the Tear Fund of the Netherlands, and the Tear fund of Australia. Also from the Mustard Seed Foundation - USA, and a Global Refugee International grant of $50,000 US in 2005 for Relief Aid work for IDPs. These grants are concluded.

Revival Time Ministry would be very happy for your prayers, and to see gifts from donors. If you should feel led of God to go to live and work with them, they would gladly help you obtain a working visa in Uganda.
