In December of 2022, Uncle Jeff returned to Kwio Akuru as a team leader with a group of 7 medical students and Dr. Gerald Tumusiime, the Dean of Medicine from the Uganda Christian University School of Medicine in Kampala, where Uncle Jeff is a Visiting Professor of Psychiatry. In three days, the team treated over 500 people, and Dr. Gerald Tumusiime performed 3 surgical operations. It was here that Uncle Jeff forged a partnership with “Dr. George,” whom Uncle Jeff sponsors every four months to provide free medical care to the pupils of our school. With funding through True Life Bible Church they have purchased 3 acres of land for the campus of Gift of God School of Nursing and Midwifery, which they, Lord willing, plan to build in Nebbi in 2025. Initially, Uncle Jeff financed the Precious Beloved Children Christian School through his private medical practice, Veritas Psychiatry, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. After two years, generous donors caught Uncle Jeff’s vision and started supporting the school. Students no longer have to study under the trees and get wet during the rainy season.
In 2024, a church building, a solar powered borehole, the first two school buildings and a medical clinic, were built. The community had prayed for a breakthrough. God had clearly heard their prayers and provided. True Life Bible Church of Wyoming, Michigan commissioned Uncle Jeff to be their official missionary to Uganda in April of 2024. They embraced his vision and mission for Precious Beloved Children Christian School and Ministries and have been instrumental in helping him build and grow the ministries. Uncle Jeff directs and governs all aspects of PBC Christian School and Ministries. Under his leadership, the school is growing, and our community is thriving, bringing jobs and hope to youths through our work-discipleship program. Precious Beloved Children Ministries is dedicated to providing quality education, empowering communities, and spreading the love of Christ. Through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, Uncle Jeff’s great love for our community, and the support of many generous donors, PBC Ministries continues to transform lives in Kwio Akuru. Among his many initiatives, Uncle Jeff established the Higher Education Scholarship Fund, to help qualifying students attain their career goals beyond secondary school.

Faithful steps forward
From worship beneath the Nunga tree to modern classrooms, clean water, and a thriving campus — every milestone reflects God’s faithfulness, community prayer, and the growing impact of Precious Beloved Children Ministries in Kwio Akuru.
The local, non-denominational church started by the Kwio Akuru community in September 2025. The congregation ranges from 25-50+ people attending Sunday services and Friday prayer meetings. They worship under trees for now, until funds arrive to construct a proper building for our congregation.
Dedicated students studied under trees for 2 years before our first steel framed buildings were constructed. They would duck their heads under desks when it rained.
PBC Christian School pupils proudly wore their uniforms while studying in the old church building. With only a few desks available and sunlight entering through holes in the roof, the school continued to serve children, including many from neighboring communities.
Construction of the first PBC Christian School buildings began, providing employment opportunities for many local youths. This initiative led to the formation of the PBC Construction Company with the slogan "We Build Quality to Last.".
