 Clarification for Son Center Uganda’s operation.

We registered through the ministry of local government, set up the office, Evangelism is going on ,we have identified orphans and other activities

Our idea is Son Center should be the same both in the U.S. and in Uganda, thus the operation should be the same. We would like to know how Son Center operates overseas so that we do the same  and maybe add a few things because of the ways in which things may work in Uganda.

• We would like to know how the structure should be.
• We would like to know the vision of son center
• The mission
• Key objectives
• Key interventions so that we may implement the same in Uganda.

 God bless you so much.
Yours faithfully,

KISAJJAKI EZEKIEL.
