• Achievements:

Some of the women who received the Urantia books

• 13   women groups are expected to form from the 13 Urantia book women readers that were given books.          .                  

• 13 UB women readers made their “I will statement” that we will follow after one month on  phone

Challenges:

• Long distances that was under estimated according to the budget.

      Departure from Ibanda to fortportal- western Uganda

• Women expected to be given  transport refund which was not budgeted for.
• Language barrier that hindered many women from reading and understanding the new revelations.
• Resistance from religious leaders.
• Many other areas demanded for the Urantia books and were not enough.
• Some women from some areas where we last reached didn’t have lunch due to under budgeting like fort portal [tourism city]

Way forward/ Recommendations:

• Follow up will be made after one week and after two months we need to go and make training.

• We need to provide lunch and transport for the UB women readers whenever they come for the training.
• The Urantia book needs to be translated in different local languages for many women to be able to read it and understand it properly.
• The Urantia book needs to be printed from Uganda so as to have them in big numbers to meet the demand.
• We still need to go and organize meetings with the religious leaders that they may know more about the urantia book so that the book will be widely accepted.
• Volunteers [ women disciple makers] who compile weekly and monthly reports needs to be paid some allowance in order to motivate them.
• Low attendance due to lack of transport
• In future we will also need a monthly pay for the coordinators who go on monitoring the UB women readers in their groups weekly.
