Our Mission

MISSION STATEMENT:

BBI exists to bring the Gospel message and humanitarian resources to prisons, hospitals, and remote villages in Eastern Uganda.

FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTURE

“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Matthew 25:35-36

Burning Bush and our principal partner in Uganda, Eric Sabiiti conducts ministry that is well represented by this scripture.

The mission of Burning Bush International is to assist local pastors and followers of Christ in Uganda with additional resources so they can be more effective in bringing a “whole” gospel message to their ministry and outreach.  Our main partner is the Christian Foundation for Community Development.  This Uganan non-profit was established in 2008 by Eric Sabiit.

Burning Bush International also works closely with a Christian Primary School in Entebbe, Uganda.

Commitment of our Founders

Burning Bush International was formed in 2012 as a 501c(3) but Jim and Nancie have been involved in fundraising for humanitarian and evangelism projects in Uganda since 2008.

On their first trip they saw a great need and quickly realized how a little effort could save many lives and improve the health of thousands.

Since 2008 many people have benefitted from the partnership between Burning Bush and Eric Sabiiti:

  • Thousands of prisoners have heard a gospel message and hundreds have responded.

  • A medical clinic has been built that is serving children from the Karamojong tribe.

  • 40 deep-water wells have brought clean water to neglected villages in northern Uganda.

  • 1600 female goats have been placed with orphaned and needy children. Due to BBI’s emphasis on herd development, and exchanging 7 goats for a cow, there are now 450 cows and hundreds of goats owned by these youth.

  • Medicine is being provided to hundreds of patients at the Tororo Hospital, a nearby aids clinic, and the Kumi Medical clinic.

  • Nutritious meals are bring provided to hospital and aid clinic patients.

  • Many children are receiving treatment at a nutrition center.

  • A primary school in Nyamongo has been renovated for over 600 students.

  • Hundreds of students at a Entebbe Christian school are benefiting from new textbooks.

  • A gospel message is being brought to  thousands of prisoners.
