Our Rationale
Uganda is a mis-reached country. While over 80% of Ugandans identify as Christians, most have never heard or responded to the gospel, mistaking a Christianized African Traditional worldview and Western-fueled prosperity teaching for the gospel. Despite this reality, Western missions often prioritize unreached people groups, with good reason. But the Donatist controversy and the spread of Islam across North Africa ought to remind us that a mis-reached people can quickly become unreached unless urgent, strong efforts are made to deepen discipleship and properly resource local churches for gospel mission.
Uganda offers several opportunities for disciple-makers to leverage. For starters, Uganda is a youthful nation, with a median age of around 16 and over 70% of its population under 30. Secondly, most of these young people are openly religious and hold a theistic worldview, though it is poorly formed.
Thirdly, for some time, the Ugandan government has prioritized expanding access to education, resulting in more youth being literate. Fourth, access to the internet and technology is growing in the country, especially among the youth. The youthfulness of the country, their openness to spiritual matters, the growth of literacy, and easier access to the internet mean at least two things for the Church in Uganda: (1) we have a great opportunity to reach this and the next generation with the gospel through print, publications, and audiovisual resources, and (2) we have a short window to guide these young people theologically before they find alternative answers to their questions online. In other words, there is an urgent need to resource and equip the Ugandan Church to deepen discipleship and live missionally.
We at Veracity Fount aim to ensure that the Ugandan church is equipped through theological research and supplied with the gospel tools necessary to keep her sharper in the knowledge of God and those she’s trying to reach.

Veracity Fount seeks to research and resource the Ugandan church for renewal through
Local Church Partnerships
We believe the local church is the best context for sustained communal learning, under accountability, for the sake of the visible body of Christ. Community is forged not by commuters, but by members of one another. To this end, Veracity Church will foundationally exist to equip and empower the church’s work. In Uganda, a nation poised to be the 8th most Christian country in the world by 2060, according to the Pew Research Center. The harvest is plenty.

What People Say
Veracity Fount has been creating cutting-edge resources for the Ugandan Church in the most urgent and critical areas. They bring clarity and biblical light amid the many popular and spreading false teachings and practices. Their videos spiritually edify me and equip me as I teach church leaders in Uganda. I have shared their research on Phaneroo more times than I can count, and pastors and parents have found it very helpful as they counsel their youth caught up in Phaneroo’s teachings.
One of the most significant ways Veracity Fount has impacted my life is the people I’ve met through the ministry—individuals who are intentionally walking with Jesus, loving him with their minds, and pursuing the purity of the gospel. Sharing life with them has been deeply formative.
