What happens when children are given more than an education—they are given hope, discipleship, and a foundation rooted in Christ? In this special episode, Dean sits down with Francis Ssenyonjo, Director of Set Free Ministries East Africa, to discuss the incredible work God is doing in Uganda through Christian education, child sponsorship, discipleship, and vocational training. Francis shares the challenges many children face, including poverty, abuse, and the absence of strong parental figures, while also highlighting the remarkable transformation taking place through the ministry's schools. With hundreds of teachers discipling thousands of students, lives are being changed, cycles of bondage are being broken, and young people are discovering their identity in Christ. The conversation explores the importance of education for young girls, the impact of vocational training, the success of students on national exams, and inspiring stories of former students who are now serving their communities in meaningful ways. As Francis prepares for retirement, he also shares reflections, encouragement, and a heartfelt blessing for the future of the ministry.Thank you for supporting Set Free Ministries and helping bring hope, education, and the love of Christ to children and families around the world.(0:00) Meet Francis Ssenyonjo, Director of East Africa(1:20) What God Is Doing in Uganda Today(5:20) The Hidden Reality Facing Many Children(7:04) 250 Teachers Discipling Thousands of Students(9:57) Revival Can Happen Anywhere(13:09) The Importance of Fathers and Mentors(15:46) Why Education Changes a Girl's Future(17:58) The Life-Changing Impact of Vocational Training(21:12) Excellence in Education: National Exam Results(25:40) From Sponsored Student to Medical Professional(28:12) Finding Identity in Christ(30:08) Francis' Final Blessing and Encouragement2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]
