James and Lilian Teira have been serving in Kampala, Uganda since 2007, planting churches and doing church centered ministries for discipleship and outreach/evangelism. Ministries include starting a school, child sponsorship and development, family empowerment to nurture children in the ways of God. The school is now 3 years old, and there are 1300 children attending.

Kampala Community Church has grown to 1000 people, mainly women and children. More than half of the community is 15 years old or younger, and 80% of the population is under 20 years old. In the 1980s, many people died from AIDS. In this area, there are a lot of men who have multiple wives and a lot of families with no father figure present. 

Basic education is lacking in Uganda, which makes it difficult for people to get jobs. Schools are grade-based education (not based on age), and people don't often graduate high school until their twenties. The church assists in vocational training, such as farming and tailoring, to help people get jobs. They also do some medical outreach to the community.

Catholicism is the main religion in the area. There is a hunger for Christ, but unfortunately there is also a lot of unbiblical teaching around. Because there is a lack of sound teaching, sound Bible training is needed. 

James and Lilian have four biological children but have raised many other children who don't have parents.
