Uganda

Missionaries: Arlon & Darline Royer and Phil & Twyla Tolstad
Beginning in the 1970's, missionaries appointed to Kenya endeavored to reach into Uganda, but the political turbulence during the 70's and 80's made it impossible to exert lasting spiritual impact and influence.   The church was registered in May 1996 as the United Apostolic Church of Uganda.  Presently, there are 2,000 constituents, 35 licensed ministers, and 35 churches and preaching points.
