This is also another core ministry. It is all about encouraging people of all ages to meet God daily through the Bible and prayer so that they may come to personal faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, grow in Christian Maturity and become both committed church members and servants of a world in need.


Whereas it’s clear that discipleship is seen in various forms in all our activities, the main approach to this for most of SUU’s years of service has been through the activities of school based SU clubs and fellowships and the provision of devotionals or Bible reading materials.


Clubs, their members, leaders, patrons, school leaders and the various visitors who share regularly from God’s word in schools are all helping to support spiritual growth in schools. These clubs are in their thousands in Uganda today.


The provision of Bible Reading Materials is in SUU’s DNA. Its something we were doing even before 1963 when the first staff was appointed. It came before SUU was formally constituted and therefore is a timeless value, God has worked through SUU devotions. We currently produce 40,000-45,000 each year in 5 languages.


Matthew 28:19-20“

¹⁹ Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

John 8:31“

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.”

We value all our discipleship platforms and the fact that even when we are unable to reach all parts of Uganda due to limited resources, there are people meeting and growing together and helping to multiply God’s work in all parts of Uganda.
