HOW WE’RE DIFFERENT
Image of God
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them.” – Genesis 1:27
We must start here. One of the fundamental differences at RIS is that we believe children are created in the image of God. This means they are valuable not for what they can do, but for who (and Whose) they are. This also means they have eternal significance.

WHO WE ARE
Graduates
RIS desires to graduate young Ugandan men and women who will love the Lord with all of their heart, mind, soul, and strength. We expect graduates to be skillful in using the tools of learning: to think critically, listen carefully with discernment and understanding, reason persuasively, and articulate precisely. We intend for our graduates to be exposed to the Classical virtues of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty in order to demonstrate those through the Spiritual virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love. We endeavor for our graduates to be socially graceful and spiritually gracious, having strong integrity and a lifelong passion for learning. We strive to produce graduates who will not conform to the pattern of this world, but are being transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ: serving sacrificially, profoundly impacting their families and communities in Uganda, and boldly bringing the message of Christ’s salvation to a broken world. Ultimately, our desire is that all RIS graduates, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, will do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with their God.

Education sponsorship outreach
Our Education Sponsorship Program is focused on providing the opportunity for children in the Teso area to receive education, nutrition, medical care and discipleship that would otherwise not be available to them.
The burden of school fees is one that many parents and guardians in Uganda face. Many even drop their children off at orphanages – not because they were orphans, but because there they would be promised to attend school, eat three meals a day and receive medical care.This conviction, along with our understanding of the importance of family and the burden of school fees, led RIS to start our Education Sponsorship Outreach. If these children could not receive an education, they would grow up to live the same kind of lives their parents and grandparents were living – unable to secure a job and unable to send their own children to school, thus continuing the cycle of poverty. We knew that RCMI alone would not change this village, but educated children could.
Each child is assigned a mentor who is a trained social worker that monitors the child’s growth, makes sure all the child’s needs are met and builds an encouraging relationship with him or her. More importantly, we wish to share God’s love with these children and help disciple them in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
We invite our sponsored nursery and primary children to gather together at our land for Saturday Fellowship, where they worship and learn Biblical truths. We want these children to know life to the fullest in a relationship with Jesus here on earth and life everlasting with Him in heaven someday.
The children are fed a heaping plate of chicken, rice, and beans and after their stomachs are filled, the children get a few hours to play with their many friends. They enjoy running and climbing on the playground, swing on the swings, playing soccer, jumping rope and throwing netball.
Saturday is a fun day when we can spend quality time with the children to build up trust and develop stronger relationships with them. Most importantly this is a day to thank and praise our Savior as the children learn more about who He is and how great His love is for each one of us!
