About Us
Vision
ReforNations exists to bring biblical reformation to nations by transforming hearts and minds through education and discipleship. We believe God’s heart is not only for individuals but also for families and nations:
“All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord… For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations.” – Psalm 22:27–28
Our mission is to equip families and communities—beginning in Uganda—with biblical truth, education, and sustainable means to thrive in Christ.
The Challenge
Uganda faces deep challenges in education and discipleship:
– Lack of access to sound biblical materials: Most “Christian” bookstores promote prosperity teaching or syncretism, while biblically faithful resources are rare and costly.
– Limited internet access: 93% of Ugandan households lack internet at home, making digital access to learning resources nearly impossible.
– High cost of imported books: Shipping biblical and homeschool materials from abroad is expensive and unsustainable.
– Under-trained pastors: 85% of pastors in the majority world have little to no theological training.
– Rising demand for Christian education: Since COVID-19, Uganda’s homeschool community has grown to over 7,000 children, yet there are few local resources available.
Our Response
ReforNations, in partnership with Homescholars Uganda Group (HUG), is meeting this need through:
1. Local Printing & Publishing:
A new on-demand printing press, purchased through generous donors ($65,000 raised), will print Bibles, Christian books, and the HUG Biblically Integrated Curriculum affordably within Uganda.
2. Christian Resource Center (Opening 2026):
A central hub in Kampala serving homeschooling families, pastors, Christian schools, and universities.
Features will include:
– Bookstore & lending library
– Training and conference rooms
– Café and study spaces
– Family business incubator
– Computer and production rooms
– Printing and storage facilities
3. Biblically Integrated Education:
HUG’s curriculum—developed by Ugandan educators—already includes 28 titles for the Primary level, exceeding national standards and now distributed across three bookstores.
4. Empowering Local Leaders:
ReforNations identifies and disciples Ugandan leaders—like Auntie Rebekah, a former Muslim turned entrepreneur and Bible teacher—helping them become producers and gospel multipliers in their communities.
The Need
To launch and sustain the Resource Center and Printing Hub, ReforNations seeks:
– $156,100 in start-up capital (for construction, furnishings, equipment, initial inventory, and missionary setup)
– $4,000 in monthly operational support (2026–2028) to ensure sustainability by 2028
Target Impact:
– 350+ homeschooling families currently active in HUG
– 7,000+ home-educated children across Uganda
– 4.3 million students in church-founded schools who could benefit from biblical materials
– Regional access for pastors, families, and Christian schools across East Africa
Sustainability & Timeline
– 2025: Printing press delivery and setup
– 2026: Resource Center established and operational
– 2026–2028: Training, production, and scaling local distribution
– 2029: Ugandan partners fully empowered to operate the ministry independently, with ReforNations moving into an oversight and support role
Why ReforNations?
ReforNations is distinct because it seeks to reform nations from within—by transforming mindsets, strengthening families, and restoring biblical truth in education. We don’t just provide aid; we build disciples and equip producers.
Through God’s grace and the faithful support of partners like you, Uganda can become a model of biblical reformation that spreads throughout Africa.
