Christ School Bundibugyo

The Serge team helps to develop Christ School Bundibugyo, a boarding school for orphaned and under-resourced children, founded by Serge missionaries in 1999.

Students receive a quality gospel-centered education and are discipled by their teachers and missionaries through weekly chapel and small group meetings. The Serge team works to develop the school spiritually, academically, and towards self-sustainability.

“By the grace of God, this community has been developed significantly over the last two decades through the work and service of Christ School Bundibugyo graduates. Look in the hospital and clinics and you will find doctors and nurses who graduated from CSB. Look in the courts and you will find lawyers and clerks who graduated from CSB. Keep looking further and you will find pastors and accountants, mothers and city planners, business owners and engineers, farmers and journalists who graduated from CSB. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧.”

Community Development

Water is life in Bundibugyo. Many people in Bundibugyo collect water from public tap stands, protected and unprotected springs, and local streams. Many utilized sources are unsafe and as a result, Bundibugyo has a high infant mortality rate and significant waterborne illnesses.

The BundiWater team works to share Christ through improving access to safe water through:

• New infrastructure for gravity-fed clean water systems, and rehabilitation of older systems.
• In 2020 our engineer Josh Dickenson rebuilt the Nyahururu water system after it was destroyed in a landslide, providing clean water to over twenty thousand residents. In 2024, the BundiWater team completed a brand new gravity flow system in Mabele, bringing clean water for the first time to a steep mountain ridge.
• Making water projects sustainable by increasing the knowledge base of local technicians through training and workshops.
• Improving end-user water handling and storage through community outreach.
• Providing emergency assistance to repair essential systems when they are damaged due to natural disasters (flooding and landslides).

Women of the Harvest and Green Leaf Crafts – In Fort Portal, Jenna and Pat founded a sewing workshop where vulnerable women study the Bible and access machines and materials to learn and create textile art. These products are marketed locally and internationally to assist their families in survival.

Pastoral Discipleship and Training

The Bundibugyo team is supports the development of the Lubwisi Bible, providing office space and financial partnership to indigenous translators. They recently celebrated the completion of the New Testament.

Team members in both Bundibugyo and Fort Portal preach, lead weekly discipleship groups, and organize pastoral training workshops.
