What We Do

We serve in western Uganda in Bundibugyo District in a town called Nyahuka. Nyahuka is located just 4 km from the border with DRC and is situated at the base of the Rwenzori mountains. Our sending agency is Serge. Serge began working in Nyahuka in 1986 with a focus on church planting and Bible translation into the local language of Lubwisi. This initial work expanded into several mercy ministries including healthcare, water projects and a local school. This video link gives a snapshot of our family's ministry in Bundibugyo.

Local Churches

Our family attends Bundimulinga Presbyterian Church (building pictured below). It was one of Serge's first church plants in the district. All of our missionaries worship and serve at local churches where we focus on leadership development and encouraging national pastors and church members. Our family is highly involved in Sunday School ministries for children. We have been developing curriculum and training for Sunday School teachers at thirteen local churches.

Bundibugyo District Hospital

Marc works at Bundibugyo District Hospital, a 160 bed facility that serves as the referral center for our district. He sees patients on all of the wards (maternity, pediatrics, adult male, and adult female), performs surgeries, and does ultrasound exams. He also regularly teaches hospital staff through lectures and ward rounds. Common diagnoses that he sees are malaria, malnutrition, HIV, TB, and pregnancy complications. Our team also includes a dietician who runs a feeding program for malnourished children and a physical therapist who cares for children with disabilities at Nyahuka Health Center. Bundibugyo District is severely underserved with no specialty physicians in the entire district. Health centers experience regular shortages and stock outs of medications and supplies. Many patients are unable to obtain the care they need due to limitations in lab technology, diagnostic equipment, medications, and medical providers. Our team's goal in healthcare ministry is to partner with the government healthcare system to provide compassionate care to those in need and to support the development of Ugandan healthcare providers.

Christ School

In 1999, Serge started Christ School Bundibugyo with a vision to develop tomorrow’s leaders for Bundibugyo and beyond by providing an excellent academic education in the context of the Christian faith. Christ School has an annual enrollment of around 300 students. Christ School graduates are having a transformational impact in Bundibugyo as they serve as teachers, nurses, doctors, church leaders, and in many other professions.

Bundi Water

Having a clean and consistent water supply is an essential part of life. Many people in Bundibugyo must walk significant distances to access water, much of which is considered unsafe by modern standards. Women and children bear the largest burden of this responsibility and have to invest significant time just to get water for their family. Bundibugyo’s high infant mortality rate is caused, in part, by waterborne illnesses (innumerable parasites, Typhoid, Cholera, etc.) The Bundi Water Project seeks to share Christ through sharing water. Projects include new infrastructure and rehabilitation of older systems, improved water quality, training local technicians, community outreach, and emergency assistance to repair systems after flooding and landslides.
