Uganda, February 6-8, 2026 – “Coming together, learning together, growing together.” This was the spirit at the heart of the recent Saline Process Multiplying Trainers (MT) training, hosted  at The Great Outdoor Adventure.

We give thanks to God for His unwavering faithfulness throughout this impactful event. The training was graciously organized and sponsored by IHS Global, bringing together five of the International Saline Partnership (ISP): IHS Global, Healthcare Christian Fellowship International (HCFI), Nurses Christian Fellowship International (NCFI), International Christian Dental and Medical Association (ICMDA), and the Benevolent Medical Fellowship.

A Time of Learning and Fellowship

Each day commenced with heartfelt Devotion and Worship, beautifully led by a different Partner organization. The sessions provided deep and practical insights into expanding the Saline ministry. Key topics covered included:

• Understanding the International Saline Partnership: An overview of the collaborative mission.

• The 3 Cs of Saline: An in-depth look at Content, Coaching, and Community.

• Saline Process Components: We explored the various training tiers, including SPWT, Taster, SPOT, and SPTTT.

• Practical Logistics: Best practices for organizing and running successful trainings.

• Saline Online Community: A hands-on workshop navigating the Saline website, creating teams, and posting training events.

• People & Strategy: Clarifying roles and responsibilities, discussing witness training teams, effective coaching strategies, and regional planning within our partner organizations.

• IHS Global Support: An interactive Q&A session to understand the support available.

Celebrating New Milestones

A highlight of the training was the commissioning of newly certified Multiplying Trainers. We rejoice with:

• Dr. Reuben Muhindo (Uganda HCF)

• Rev. Peace Magundu (Uganda HCF)

• Ngatia Cleupus (Kenya HCF)

We also celebrated the recertification of dedicated trainers: Thembo Charles, Mukasa Gaurd, Dr. Namata Louisa, Biira Russia, and Erasmus Omodo. All participants received certificates of attendance, marking another step forward in their commitment to healthcare evangelism.

Looking Ahead: Prayer and Strategy

The event concluded with a time of prayer for all partner organizations, lifting up specific HCFI prayer points:

1. Thanksgiving: For the progress made in the Saline work, especially the multiplication of MTs and coaches, for the 90 years of HCFI’s existence, and for faithful leaders like Bro. Tim Okai whose mentorship, commitment, and discipline have strengthened the mission.
2. Vision and Direction: For wisdom and clarity as we reorganize the Saline database and strengthen effective coaching and mentorship, asking God to expand the vision, increase enthusiasm, and grow the impact of Saline trainings across sub-Saharan Africa.
3. Provision: For God’s provision over logistical and financial challenges, increased funding, strategic partnerships, and sustainable resources to support and advance the Saline ministry.
