SHELTER CHURCH IN KAMPALA-UGANDA,FACING DEMOLITION
Help Secure a Permanent Home for Shelter Church – Kampala, Uganda
The New Generation Churches Community – SHELTER HQ is located in the heart of Kampala. Since relocating from our former address, we have been renting the private land where our current church building stands.
For years, we lacked a permanent location, moving from place to place. In 2015, we finally secured our current address (see image), and began constructing our worship center on the rented land.
Today, we face a critical moment: the landowner has given us an ultimatum—to either purchase the land or vacate it.
We are reaching out to you, our brothers and sisters in Christ, with a heartfelt appeal to help us raise $135,500 to purchase this land and establish a lasting spiritual home for our community.
Your generous support will ensure that Shelter Church remains a place of hope, worship, and transformation in Kampala.
We kindly invite individuals and organizations who believe in supporting God’s work to contribute. You can donate through the “DONATE” button or use the bank details provided below. For any questions or if you require more information and transparency, please feel free to contact us.
May the Lord richly bless you for your willingness to give. Every contribution counts.
Brief History
Shelter Church was founded by Apostle Schadi in 2015. The very first church service was held on May 15, 2015, in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda.
A Message from Apostle Schadi – Our Journey
I, Apostle Schadi, began my ministry journey in 1997—first as a choir leader, then as a youth leader. In 2011, I was ordained as Senior Pastor of Merisa Rehoboth Church in Uganda by Apostle Mutayongwa, the founder and visionary of that ministry.
In 2013, due to internal conflicts between the founder and the mother church he came from, I made the difficult decision to resign. Both sides pressured me to choose between them, but I believed in remaining neutral for the sake of unity, so I stepped down.
Two years later, in 2015, I founded Shelter Church in Kampala. After renting various locations for worship, we were blessed to secure a piece of land with a 15-year renewable rental agreement. We began construction with the vision of one day owning the land and using it not only for worship but also to build a school—serving our community at the very heart of Kampala's busy business district.
Our long-term plan was to raise funds gradually over those 15 years. However, shortly after construction began, the landowner faced financial difficulties and started pressuring us to purchase the land. In 2021, we were officially given a two-year deadline to either buy the land or vacate the premises.
Though the land is expensive due to its prime location in Kampala, we believe it is a worthy investment for the future of our ministry and community outreach. Thankfully, with the help of our lawyer, the price has been negotiated down to $135,500.
We now appeal to you—our friends, partners, and fellow believers—to help us secure this land and ensure that Shelter Church has a permanent home from which to continue serving God’s people.
May the Lord bless you richly for standing with us in this mission.
