We proclaim the gospel everywhere we go. That is our highest priority in ministry. Since the very beginning of the church, the Apostles gave us the example to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to everyone we meet.

Colossians 1:28
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 4:10
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus, from Healing Grace Medical Centre Fraternity. We thank our Lord for the provisions you are rendering to us for the good motives in the community. We truly appreciate you. May the Lord God bless you abundantly.
The medical center has reached and treated people with the screening and treatment of diabetic clients, hypertensive clients, and urinary tract infection clients. We even have family planning services for women of reproductive age.
We screened and treated 209 patients (90 males, 119 females). When the day was too big for us, we managed to get some volunteers who helped us to treat these people and finish in time. We first begin with educating the clients on the prevention of both communicable and non-communicable diseases.
For family planning, we were able to help ten females of reproductive age.
Prayer Requests for the Medical Center:
Healing Grace Medical staff see thirty to fifty patients regularly throughout the week. There is a wholeness to how the Scriptures bring new life to everyone touched by church members’ obedience. They turn away from the darkness and walk in truth and light. They no longer seek the input of witchdoctors but instead trust the doctor at the Medical Center. This is a vital ministry to assist the pastors and the churches to completely transform their communities.
Our maternity ward is a blessing to the women who deliver their babies in a safe, sterile, and healthy environment. Patience, one of the Healing Grace midwives is holding the firstborn twins after a normal delivery at the Maternity ward. Prior to having a maternity ward, the poor women gave birth on the dirt floor of their stick and mud house often without any trained midwife to assist them.
Because of generous donations, our doctors and nurses are able to go into the rural villages and diagnose illnesses among people who would never visit a medical center because they are so poor. Here a nurse is testing the blood pressure of a patient outside her home during an outreach. The doctors frequently find people suffering from diabetes, malaria, typhoid, and other diseases. Now, these people are treated and find a whole new joy in living.
Thanks to our generous partners, including — Kenyon Companies, Help from Above, and Cup of Water — The Property was purchased, the buildings are finished, and the staff is in place. We still need to subsidize the salary of the staff so our medical center can provide treatment even to the poorest members of the villages. Your Donations Can Make a Difference.
The Medical Center will provide care to the people in all the surrounding villages. Women will be able to give birth in a clean and sterile place without having to drive hours to the nearest clinic. Since the grand opening in November 2019, patients have been coming through for care.
Some members of the community are able to pay a fee for the medical care they receive, others are so poor they would not have in the past received any medical care for their wounds or infections. Lack of treatment would have caused great suffering and in some cases an easily avoidable death. Your donations help the medical team provide for those impoverished people too poor to pay any fee. The church leaders of God’s Embassy Ministry consult with the Administrative Team to help discern members of the community who need assistance. The Fellowship group leaders and the pastors of our local churches know who is truly poor. The ministry cooperation provides wonderful teamwork ensuring the resources are used with wisdom to help the needy. Additionally, our faculty at the elementary school can now refer students who appear to have infections to the medical center.
We had a patient from our Graceland Elementary School who appeared to have extreme pain in her foot. She was transported to HGMC and was greeted by a nurse. Dr. Emmanuel examined her foot and determined what treatment was necessary. Allen, the child had to get an incision so that they could remove some foreign thorn, other debris, and disinfect the wound. In the past, before the Healing Grace Medical Center was open, a student like Allen would just suffer through the pain and may not have received any treatment. Many people die from Tetanus infection in this area, we would like to arrange tetanus vaccinations for all the children.
Allen will come back to the center for bandage changing for the next five days. Dr. Emmanual and the nurses can ensure that the wound heals properly and Allen’s infection is treated and completely healed. In conjunction with the treatment, through Graceland school and our gift catalog donations, Allen will be provided a pair of shoes.
Meet our Medical Team.
Pastoral Administrator Robinson Kwesiga leads the team with Dr. Emmanuel.
We have a midwife, nurses, a lab technician and a financial registrar on-site.
You can be a partner with our medical ministry by donating towards medical supplies and medication. Your partnership is how we are able to provide medical treatment to the weakest members of the community who otherwise could not afford any medical treatment. Our church leaders coordinate with the medical center to advise and recommend who is poor in the community.
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
Matthew 25:40
Pray for our medical team as they administer tests for malaria and typhoid. Treatment is now available, and with your prayers, God will continue to provide both the tests and the medicines for common infections. We also have some larger medical equipment items we are praying for the funding to receive. One of these is an Ultra-Sound Scanner for approximately $8,000 and a Refrigerator designed to store Vaccines for roughly $3,500, or a portable Xray machine for approximately $5,500.
Solving poverty in impoverished communities is no easy task. Poverty is present everywhere we minister. Giving people welfare relief may have an air of compassion but we have recognized that it could hurt them in the long run. How does White Fields address this portion of our ministry to become a solution instead of compounding the problem?

You can also help us support the national pastor that starts the church in an impoverished community. Bringing people the Good News of Jesus Christ and leading them to place their faith in Jesus for salvation is the start of overcoming poverty. The discipleship and life-transforming changes make their economic improvement become a whole community transformation because the power of the gospel will transform the life of every new believer. For example; When a drunkard becomes a believer in Jesus Christ, they become sober by the power of the Holy Spirit. That transformation changes their work ethic and completely changes their financial ability.
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 [NASB]you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
As we approached the simple structure, a woman came out with her arms opened wide to greet us with a hug. She received our simple gifts of maize, beans, soap, and a loaf of bread. “I have not tasted bread since the last time your mission team visited my home.” Our team in Uganda had first begun to minister to these people living in the region of Kikirara in May of 2017. There was a famine caused by severe drought.
Our churches in Rukungiri traveled into the area and went house to house and discovered the deaths from starvation. No one else was providing any assistance, and the people were hopeless. White Fields assisted our churches to bring maize, beans, salt and other simple supplies that allowed these people to survive. Now I had the opportunity to visit the community and travel with Pastor Bryan and Onesimus.
What a surprising realization that a loaf of bread was beyond this women’s affordable cost of living. She was impoverished, and any income would be used to buy the least expensive form of food–maize. But now she had a fantastic opportunity to attend a church in her village. [Read more…] about Love Travels Far
In the areas White Fields ministers, the average person makes $1 a day or less. The regions we work in consist of farmers and day laborers who may only have a six-grade education with few opportunities for advancement. Factors such as these continue the cycle of poverty.
Part of our comprehensive approach to transforming communities around the world is to come alongside church members and give them the means by which they can become producers and lift themselves out of poverty. We believe that work is good, that it restores dignity, that it is God’s plan for humans to work. Your partnership is vital to transform the lives of Christians who are living in poverty to become self-sustaining.
There are several projects that you can give towards to help solve poverty. These projects are designed to enhance the successful start of a church in an impoverished and needy community. Providing a pig, goat, seeds, or brick machine can help a new believer in a church gain the ability to produce a sustainable income. These projects focus on poverty solutions. We also include Water Projects which can span from building water storage tanks to drilling wells. These sources of water are located at the local church, effectively making the new the church an essential hub of the community.
In Uganda and Myanmar, we network with ministries that provide local people with the technology and training to create sustainable water sources for their communities. Your donations provide resources to build rainwater collection tanks, wells, water storage, and filters.
A family raising a piglet can within a year have a mature pig that can give birth to a drove of piglets. These pigs when mature can be sold at the market price for $350, almost double a families average salary. Join us and solve poverty for a family by donating today!
The Middle East can be a dangerous place. Persecution by the government, neighbors, and destabilizing groups like ISIS force many people from their homeland. These factors bring many opportunities for the Gospel. Local Pastors minister to both Christian and non-Christian refugees as they seek a safe place to live and raise their families. Many of the Christians work selling handcrafted items to support themselves. Through our relationship with local Pastors, we offer these items on our website with the proceeds going directly to the Christian refugees who made them.
In the Middle East, our church planters minister to refugees who have fled war and ISIS in Iraq & Syria. Christian refugees work making handmade soap, blankets, jewelry, and mosaic handicrafts. The sale of these items supports these Christians in their time of transition. “Teaching them to fish, not just giving them a fish.”
