Because of God’s great love (Hesed), we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.

The Founding Of Hesed

As the NOWI ministry grew, it quickly became apparent that there was a need to reach out to the spiritual need of entire communities to include children, teenagers, women, and men, as well as church leaders.  And so, in 1997, Hesed Ministries was founded to reach the holistic needs of the people in Uganda’s Busoga region where Michael and Florence come from. 

• To do this Hesed partners with the Anglican Church of Uganda, the church denomination that the majority of Ugandans belong to.  Uganda has the second largest number of Anglicans in the world.   Unfortunately, the Anglican Church in Uganda has failed to fulfill her ministry because of religiosity often found in Anglican and Episcopal churches. 

• Armed with this knowledge, Hesed Ministries’ vision was to partner with the church to help her fulfill her ministries.  However, in its early days, the ministry was often frustrated by church leaders who were fearful of losing their congregants to ‘being saved’ and possibly leaving the Anglican Church for a more evangelical denomination.
