Prison Ministry
Through offering tangible support such as soap, food, medical assistance, sleep mats, and clothing, JENGA is reaching the inmates in a way that opens doors and builds trust. Once a base relationship is established, JENGA is able to invest in the prisoners through weekly teaching and prayer alongside other established projects including Alpha and Discipleship.
Justice and Advocacy
Practically speaking, JENGA represents men and women who have been unfairly arrested or mishandled in court. With partnerships representing various legal offices, JENGA’s aim is to speak into all aspects of the Criminal and Justice System of Mbale. JENGA also works closely with the local police, assisting them with both development work and continuing education in the community.
Discipleship
By providing Bibles and training materials to help people learn, and conferences to train trainers, JENGA is enabling the local church and helping people to grow their faith in both depth and maturity.
Men's Fellowship
Married men meet on a monthly basis to talk through culturally taboo issues and support each other in their daily lives. Taking the format of guided discussion, topics raised are often to do with home and family – improving household income, parenting, marriage and sex. Lessons are then introduced providing teaching on primary health care, agriculture and ‘Farming God’s Way’, entrepreneurship and savings and loans.
Oaks of Righteousness
Creating a stronger and more harmonious partnership between local churches is a key to building the Kingdom of God, and encourages a gathering to worship with one heart and one body is a highlight of JENGA’s ministry.
