Bryan Johnson, associate pastor at Pursuit NW, returned recently from ministry in Uganda where he taught two 3-credit Bible courses at Yesu Akwagala Bible College in addition to speaking several times elsewhere and meeting with church leaders. YABC in Kampala is a work of Uganda Christian Outreach Ministries, which is connected with World Outreach Ministry Foundation in Seattle, an FCA-affiliated parachurch organization.

Johnson and a few others were invited by the Ugandan leadership to be guest lecturers during the school year, serving as partners in developing “World Changers.” The school draws a significant percentage of international students, so a broader geographical impact is being made through the school, primarily in East Africa.

The school’s 17th graduation ceremony is planned for June 29. Yesu Akwagala Bible College’s mission is to support and develop “emerging servant leaders through the life changing Gospel of Jesus Christ to be agents of change in the community.”

Johnson is scheduled to leave July 11 for two weeks in Liberia, West Africa. “I will be teaching in the Bible school in Greenville, Sinoe County (Osborn Arnes Christian College),” he says. He will also assist his son, Russell, who will be preaching at two Youth Conferences sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Assemblies (Liberia), one in the capital city of Monrovia, the other “down country” in the city of Greenville. That is where Bryan and his wife, Anna, lived more than 35 years ago.
