"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." — Matthew 28:19
As a core value of the WEM family, church planting is at the heart of our mission to make disciples of all nations. Since Dr. KL Dickson started Kabarole Christian Fellowship Church (CFC) in 1982, the vision has expanded exponentially across Uganda and beyond.
Today, many CFC churches have been established across the country and in neighboring nations, forming a network of Spirit-filled congregations committed to knowing Christ in depth and making Him known at all costs.

From the mother church in Fort Portal, the CFC family has grown to over 2,000 churches across Uganda, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, and Tanzania — each one a beacon of light and transformation in its community.
