CHRISCOM: Evangelism and Care of the needy in Uganda

You can effectively reach and minister unto the needy in Uganda or Africa through Christian Concern Ministry.

CHRISCOM was started by Pastor Sebalamu Shem and his wife, Rebecca, with a major aim of helping the needy. Shem lost both his parents at a tender age and he was brought up by other people.

This exposed him to the real life the needy orphans and other vulnerable groups face. When he grew up, he became a health worker, who is now working in Kagadi Hospital. This also exposed him further to the suffering of needy patients.
 
He further developed the spirit from the teaching of our lord Jesus Christ in Mathew 25:35-40  “for 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 came to visit me." Reflecting on all this and the situation of the people in our area Uganda, CHRISCOM was started.

What CHRISCOM Does

The main activities of CHRISCOM:
 
•    The main activity of Chriscom is to carry out evangelism
•    We carry out regular prison outreaches where we take items like fruits, bananas and clothes to
      the inmates
•    We visit health facilities like hospitals, clinics and health centers with similar items
•    We also visit schools especially primary schools and give out exercise books, pencils and pens
       to the registered orphans
•    We present radio programs aimed at mobilizing people on the need to help the needy, to campaign against chid abuse, human sacrifice, and domestic violence
•     We carry out guidance and counseling on people with problems like HIV/AIDS and divorce.
      This is done through video shows and biblical teaching. We do this at our office premises.

Charity and Evangelism

CHRISCOM Charity: Boxes are placed in different churches where people donate items like clothing, bed sheets, shoes, bags, books, which are distributed by CHRISCOM outreach members to the needy. Apart from clothing we also collect fruits, soap, toothpaste, and sanitary items, which we distribute to the inmates and needy patients. Personnel: Chriscom personnel include volunteers from different churches who help in carrying out  medical care to the orphans and other vulnerable groups. We have one outstanding clinic in Uganda; it is called Clinic Center Kagadi. This clinic has ben helping in giving free medical care to our orphans.

 

Chriscom is not a church. We do ministries and activities involving the church, but Chriscom is simply a ministry made to help. Chriscom does help in planting churches, which are later handed over to other ministries.
