Where medicine meets miracles.
Medical care, church planting, and trauma healing reach places no other ministry will go. Watch the work, then read how each program runs.
Transforming communities
The whole community, transformed.
Favor's community development model has been informed by almost 20 years of work and recognizes the church as the hub of the community and the Word of God as the center of sustainable, ongoing community development.
Full community development includes a crusade, discipleship, trauma healing, a Portable Bible School, a church building, women's empowerment, a village learning center, a well, and mobile medical clinics. It starts with transformed lives surrendered to Jesus and extends to holistic transformation of the entire community.
We could comfort those in emotional pain, bandage every wound, build beautiful buildings, and pass out thousands of Bibles—but if not one heart is baptized in the love of Christ, then we have not accomplished what we came to do.
Our foremost mission is guiding hearts to Jesus while demonstrating God's love by meeting people emotionally, physically, and spiritually, as Jesus did.
Holistic transformation by the Word
Bringing healing to the whole person.
Care meets immediate needs while the local church and trained community leaders carry restoration forward.
Medical
Favor clinics provide basic medical care in both Uganda and South Sudan, and mobile medical clinics serve those who cannot come to our medical centers. In our medical centers, we pray with each of our patients.
Learn more →Church Planting
In many rural communities there are no churches, so following a Portable Bible School small churches are planted, sometimes meeting in a hut or under a mango tree. Thousands of churches have been planted across Uganda and South Sudan.
Learn more →Church Construction
Favor partners with International Cooperating Ministries (ICM) to fund new church construction. These churches don’t belong to Favor but to the community of believers and their leadership from that local church.
Learn more →Trauma counseling
Healing the whole person.
Our trauma healing program has two parts. The first section focuses on developing emotional strength, and the second teaches about forgiveness. Throughout the program, the counselors teach people how to connect to one another and counter stress with positive activity.
The original Trauma Counseling curriculum that we use was written by Christ-believing psychologists from Australia, peer-reviewed through publications at Boston University, and for many years has been adapted and contextualized for the many people groups we serve throughout South Sudan and Uganda.
