UG2 Ministries

In May, UG2 partnered once again with Hope Smiles to provide much-needed dental care through a mobile dental clinic for the children and families we serve. We were encouraged not only by the large number of patients treated, but also by the significant improvement in oral hygiene observed since previous visits. The Hope Smiles team shared that they received a warm welcome and were delighted to see the positive impact of ongoing care and education.

During this outreach, the team provided care for 296 patients, including:
109 simple and moderate cleanings
177 quadrants of deep cleaning
193 extractions
114 fillings

These services help relieve pain, prevent future complications, and promote long-term health for children and adults who often have limited access to dental care.

At the same time, a joint short-term mission team from Liberty Baptist Church in New Albany, Mississippi, and First Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, partnered with our staff to lead a four-day holiday student program. Throughout the week, students participated in Vacation Bible School, academic support activities, games, and special events designed to encourage both learning and spiritual growth.

We are especially grateful that two children professed faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior during the week's activities. Seeing children respond to the Gospel while also receiving practical care and encouragement is a powerful reminder of why these partnerships matter. Together, the dental outreach and student program demonstrated Christ's love in a holistic way. By caring for physical needs, investing in education, building relationships, and sharing the hope of the Gospel, we seek to minister to the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

We have also included a short video (in comments) highlighting the outreach. We hope you enjoy seeing some of the smiles, stories, and moments of compassionate care that made this clinic such a blessing to those we serve. Thank you for your prayers and support, which make partnerships and outreaches like this possible. Together, we are helping bring hope, healing, and the love of Christ to our community. Through your partnership, lives are being impacted both now and for eternity.

L to R: Mentor Bashiir, Hope Alive!’s Educational Specialist, Michael, a current Masaka student, Tonny Bwanika, and teacher Matthias from one of our partner schools attended a training focused on recognizing trauma and protecting children. The training, hosted by Teach Beyond Uganda, was highly interactive and approached every topic through a Christian worldview.

The team learned how to better care for children who have experienced trauma and how to nurture safe learning environments. Each of these participants has taken the information back to their spaces and presented the training to their respective colleagues.

🎉43rd Birthday with a purpose! ✝️

Instead of gifts, I’m hoping to raise $2,000 or more for the UG2 student education fund in Uganda. We have several students starting campus this year, and the fund helps provide things like laptops, basic dorm furniture, and groceries as they get settled.

If you’d like to celebrate my birthday with me, I’d love for you to give whatever you can. Every little bit helps these students start their education strong. Thanks so much for being part of it!

2025 Year in Review
December 31st

As we reflect on 2025, we do so with deep gratitude for God’s faithfulness and for the partners who walk alongside us. This past year has been marked by steady growth, renewed vision, and continued opportunities to educate, disciple, and serve through Unchanging God, Unchanging Gospel (UG2). From classrooms to communities, and from sports courts to family homes, we have seen the Lord at work in both ordinary faithfulness and extraordinary moments.

This Year in Review (link in comments) offers a snapshot of what God has accomplished through UG2 and the Seger family in 2025. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and generosity. We are honored to share this journey with you and remain committed to serving Christ and others in Uganda in the year ahead.

As we close the year, we invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with UG2 through end-of-year giving and ongoing monthly support in 2026. Consistent monthly gifts allow us to plan responsibly, care well for people, and sustain the work God has entrusted to us in Uganda. Current monthly needs include:

$40 – Ministry vehicle insurance
$550 – Rent
$550 – Ugandan staff expenses
$1,000 – Ugandan Student Educational Fund
$1,250 – Seger boys’ educational expenses

Your generosity—whether a one-time gift or a monthly commitment—directly supports ministry, education, and discipleship. Thank you for standing with us as we continue this work together in the year ahead.

🎉 Feeling Grateful – and Still On Mission! 🦷

A big THANK YOU to everyone who sent birthday wishes my way—your messages, calls, videos, and kind words truly made my day! I felt so loved and celebrated. 🙏

As I shared earlier, I’m using my 41st birthday to try to raise $7,500 to provide dental care for over 500 students and staff in Uganda through Hope Smiles’ mobile clinics. And we’re not done yet!

For just $15, you can give someone a full dental treatment—cleanings, fillings, even root canals—care that brings real healing and shares the love of Jesus in a tangible way.

💡 If you haven’t already, would you join me in giving the gift of a healthy smile? Every dollar helps restore dignity and bring joy to someone who needs it.

Let’s keep the celebration going by making an eternal impact together! 🎁🦷✝️
