Right now I am using the little I have to connect with every UB Leader here in Uganda so that I can get their independent mind on the Budget and what their expectations are as you know many of them are always reserved when it comes to coming together meetings. 

In this way am able to capture their thoughts and then be able to come up with something meaningful.

Tomorrow I will be driving to Jinja to meet with Bishop Joseph Oyuki

Meeting at Bishop Joseph's Mother Church Jinja Uganda

As we continue to share ideas on how to move forward with the shaping of the Urantia Book Reader movement in Uganda, Africa I managed to hold a feedback session with Bishop Moses and Wife Pastor Caroline yesterday 12th Oct on top of my visit to Bishop Joseph Oyuki and Wife on 1st October.

All these visits have been beneficial to the Urantia Book ministry and all stakeholders as we continue to connect with communities and shape the future of Urantia Book work.

During these visits, I have been able to interact and understand the needs of UB Leaders as these are more crucial conversations that have amended the continued work plan development and Budget for Ugandan Leaders.

Thanks to all of you for the amazing moments shared together and I look forward to Learn more with time to time.

At my end I have already developed something and work plan along with the Budget and a simple write up but this can not be shared without the knowledge of other Leaders so that is why am carrying out these private visits as I drive to each of their Location to get their ideas and what their challenges are and how we can move forward together.

Then on Wednesday I will be driving to Kaliro to meet with brother Gumpi Andrew as the final person

All these long movements I drive over 90kms away from Kampala to each of their locations to and from that's too much to be done in one day

As well, brother Billy got involved in a  nasty motorcycle accident that almost took his life. tomorrow I will be visiting him too. I am planning to buy for him some food stuffs.

I may be limited by funds to do that. But I will try. Tomorrow is the day.

[1:13 p.m., 2021-10-15] Today we made our recording on TV that will be aired tomorrow. It was on the Right to Grow through Food Nutrition and WASH practices.I also got the opportunity to talk about the Urantia Book on how to build capacities of people.

Recording on TV 

Every day of my life, I cherish every single person that brings light in my soul..... It's the purpose of my dream to serve and Empower those in much greater need than I do... Today I got inspired by the Hat and it's the momentum of life I would like to keep my dreams to keep flourishing for those who care and need to be cared for.

THANK YOU NOTE

In the recent Months, I and my Team have been organizing community approaches and Events that support the Expansion of the UB Fellowship work to various people. With limited resources and reading materials, we have always managed to share the little we have with Faith to receive the Gift that can be shared with all those that are hungry for the word.

Guess what?! Through the support from our Sister Barb, we received reading materials for our missionary work all the way from the United States to Uganda.

These Revelation Books will help in the Spiritual awakening of the victims of Gender Based Violence (GBV) especially the young mothers and widows under our care to become Resilient and confident in the word.  

May God Bless your efforts sister Barb and everyone around the world in support of our ministry since day one.

ACTIVITY REPORT 

FOR WILMAT DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION (WDF)  FEB, 2021 

Breaking Barriers for the New Revelations

Dear Readers,

We welcome you all to another second month of engagement for the year 2021. As Christians, we are part of a movement that seeks to draw all people into the gracious, reconciling love of God through Jesus Christ.

It is Christ’s call on our lives to know Him, to make Him known and in the process draw everyone into the life that is really life, the life lived with God and for the welfare of others and ourselves. 

Too often our Christianity is quiet, personal, merely a contained part of our lives. We tend to focus on our relationship with God, on our prayer life, on our call, on our experience of God. This is a wonderful and important part of the Christian life, but since no one can be a Christian on their own, it is important that we remember that we are part of a community and a specific kind of community at that. Jesus wants us to be known by our love for one another and so Christian community seeks both a vertical relationship with God and a horizontal relationship with others. That’s part of what church is about the shared connection to God and the shared connection to others.   

During the month of February, we have been engaging various government and non-governmental leaders especially those in civil service on how best they can get interested into the Urantia Book Revelations as part of their day to day references for their work. 

As well, we managed to involve our teams in drafting UB refresher training of trainers, and also planning for the upcoming months. Our achievements and future plans of the upcoming months are presented in the next pages of this report.

We therefore request everyone to take some time to read through and give feedback on how you feel towards our ministry work and how best we can be supported to perform better in increasing the UB Family of readers.

Remember, “Not by might, not by power but by the Spirit of God”

Jockas Matte

SUCCESSES OF THE MONTH:

STAKEHOLDERS MEETINGS: During the Month of February, we have continuously engaged various organizational leaders and government ministries on how best they can incorporate our UB revelations into their Weekly programs. As we continue to support the expansion of the Urantia Book Revelations in preparations for the August Conference here in Uganda, we are organizing pre-awareness sessions with various stakeholders in support of the Urantia Book introduction to Ugandan communities. All the leaders we have managed to engage are in full support of our work and the introduction to the Urantia Book Revelations. 

Along, we also conducted other awareness meetings with other partner leaders as a way to interest them into adopting the UB Revelations most importantly in sharing sessions at least 2 times a month. We have also been able to simplify the UB revelations to the teams that we engage especially those that show much interest in learning and adopting the UB revelations into their sharing meetings.

URANTIA BOOK REVELATIONAL SHARINGS:

During the Month of February, we managed to conduct several sharing sessions and planning meetings ahead of the community awareness series that we have planned starting in the month of March 2021.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTS:

But given the goings on in the world, the turmoil and brokenness around us and Jesus’ command to make disciples of all people, God wants more from us as persons and more from us as the Church. As an Episcopal Leader, we try to keep in mind the personness of the life with God with the call to make disciples and grow the UB Revelations. During the month of February, we engaged various community members in sharing sessions and preparing them for what comes in the upcoming months.

As a norm for the Wilmat Urantia Book Readers give back to community, during the same month, we managed to support some orphaned and vulnerable children at Lord’s Mercy Children’s Foundation with basic items to 35 beneficiaries like pair of shoes, soap, body jelly among others along with sharing moments of our summaries of the UB Revelations.

UB REVELATIONAL EXPANSION FUTURE PLANS:

1. DATABASE DEVELOPMENT: During the last meeting with the Ugandan UB Team and the IFC, an idea was re-shared on how best we can develop a joint database to aid in the UB sharing sessions and meetings especially in capacity building series for members. As an organization, we currently have over 5,000 contacts that can be utilized for the UB revelations expansion.  

1. SMS ALERTS SHARINGS: From the Database development, an SMS platform that has been under use by the Wilmat Development Foundation under the Administration of Jockas Matte. In order to always send timely SMS UB sharing, updates and call to action for members who are interested in learning more and amplifying their faith.

1. TRANSLATIONAL MESSAGES: In our quest to Enrich more lives and contribute to the Expansion of the UB Family of Readers, our team has continued to translate some of the information especially for group sharing, however, more support is highly needed to translate more content for community beneficiaries to understand more easily. The fact that the UB Revelations are in English language, most of the Ugandan communities speak different dialect hence the need to translate into local languages that can be easily understood by readers.

1. LEADERS MEETING: In our quest to expand the UB Revelations, we are planning to hold at least two mega meetings as a way to introduce new members into the Urantia Book Revelations along with other programs that we have at hand to empower and strengthen our communities. We are already in the planning processes to conduct Monthly Awareness Mega sessions for new members to at least 200 members in a phase of 100 each session. These will contain Local District Leaders, Community members, government leaders and other Civil society members.
