David's Story
Pastor David and his wife Balisanyuka Annet have experienced profound loss: six of their ten children died through illness, stillbirth, or miscarriage. Their grief and family circumstances strained their marriage, and they lived apart for four years before reconciling. David has worked in village drainage channels and seasonal farming to provide for his four surviving children. He described himself as a 'Laborer in the Lord’s harvest.' At the time of his testimony he had served in pastoral ministry for 16 years on Buvuma Island. He longs for biblical education that he has been unable to afford.

Following His Journey
In an August 2024 update, David and Annet shared both ongoing family challenges and gratitude for their training. David had experienced a fractured leg, while Annet was dealing with chronic back pain. Three of their four surviving children were living with sickle cell disease. Despite these difficulties, David shared how much he had benefited from RPI's teaching on Bible interpretation, and Annet described how the pastors' wives training had strengthened her understanding of ministry and supporting her husband. Please continue praying for their family's health, provision, and faithful service.
Sustainability in Uganda
RPI's Vocational / Sustainability / Discipleship Program supports practical skills development alongside ongoing biblical discipleship. Agricultural and livestock projects offer opportunities to strengthen household sustainability and encourage long-term ministry.
Vocational / Sustainability / Discipleship Update
In September 2026, 20 RPI pastors and their wives completed entrepreneurship training in partnership with Ekisiga. The training provided practical instruction designed to help families develop sustainable sources of income while pastors continue faithfully serving their churches and communities.
The pastors also toured RPI’s goat project as they prepare for future hands-on training. The project is one of the practical ways RPI is exploring opportunities that can help pastors and their families strengthen household sustainability.
Alongside vocational development, RPI continues providing discipleship, follow-up, encouragement, and practical training for graduate pastors as they apply what they have learned within their families, churches, and communities.
