Reflections from Our Executive Director – February 2026
February has been a full and encouraging month at Transformed Communities International. As I continue stepping into my role, I am grateful to see how faithfully God is working through His ministry.
The new school term has began in Uganda, and we are excited that 47 students are currently part of our TCI Scholars Program in partnership with Alpha Omega School, a Christian secondary school in Kiburara, Western Uganda. In addition, 19 Karamajong students are receiving tuition support. Your generosity is truly changing lives! Having journeyed through Christian education from my very first steps in grade school to graduation, I have witnessed firsthand the profound and powerful lessons that a Christ-centered education bestows upon someone.
Looking ahead, by the grace of God, I will have the priviledge of traveling to Uganda from March 16–29, joining Frank and Sue Robb after their time in South Africa and our dear friends in Uganda. During this trip we will: visit the four Christian primary schools that we serve, spend time encouraging our scholars, and meet with our Uganda team to pray and seek God’s direction for the future of TCI.
Besides, this is also a critical time in Karamoja (our other area of operation), as our Uganda team journeys with village leaders to discern the best path for expanding their life-sustaining crops through our Food Always In The Home gardening program.
We are deeply grateful for your: continued prayers and support, your faithful partnership in sharing the Gospel and investing in the lives of our precious friends in Uganda. As we enter this new month of March, please join us as we lift up these requests to our Father in heaven:
For God to go before our dear scholars, guiding and encouraging them as they begin a new school term.
For monthly financial partners for our food relief in Karamoja. Please pray that God provides food for our dear friends. Our next food run is in April, and we are working to raise $11,500 to cover costs (8 tons of food is required to feed approximately 500 families).
3. For the completion of the new classroom in Brainstorm Kanara Gospel school (one of five schools that we serve) and that God would use it to transform lives. The construction is slightly above phase 3 of construction.
Phase 1: This phase covers the work from laying the foundation up to the wall plate level.
Phase 2: In this stage, construction progresses from the wall plate up to the roofing.
Phase 3: This phase includes work from roofing to the finishing stage, such as plastering the walls and building the aprons.
Phase 4: The final phase covers the last finishing touches, including painting and installing the glass
4. For safe travel for the USA team as we head to Uganda on March 16.
5. For wisdom and clear vision as we spend time meeting with our Ugandan team.
Please join us in celebrating what God has in store for TCI.
In Christ,
Ryan Matthews
