The Lord has blessed Paradise Junior School with sports excellence at different levels of competition. We have excelled in football, netball, athletics and so much more. We thank God for this and we believe that He is still granting us more success, even in other areas of life. Yes, God has deposited so much treasure in us and at Paradise Junior School we intend to fully explore all this potential. Soon, we will have even more programs which our children can engage in. We will have other forms of sports that we don't have at the moment. We will have Music, Dance and Drama, Creative Arts and so much more. The most beautiful part of all this is that it is all towards glorifying our Heavenly Father.
We thank God that He has entrusted us with all the children that we have now. We are really growing bigger. God has poured out such a blessing that we now need more room for it. This is why we are setting out to build a three-story building at the school campus, this will have classrooms, big enough for the children to study and learn freely. It will have laboratories, a library, music room and so much more. We are looking forward to this and we know that our children will very much be blessed. Also, it is sad that in our country and community, we have a large portion of deaths due to treatable diseases such as malaria; that we still have a high mortality rate. Most of these conditions are preventable and they can be overcome with simple interventions. We thank God for blessing us with the land where we are going to be building a health facility. The Lord who started this will surely see it to the end. Our community will be healed.
Our founder, Pastor Martin Ssebaggala is working with other leaders to organize the "Worship and Creative Arts Seminar", this is slated to happen on 3rd June, 2026. The theme of this seminar is "Use your gift to serve others - 1 Peter 4:10-11". This is going to happen at Lusaka Gospel Messenger Church. The second greatest commandment in Matthew 22:37=10 directs that we love our neighbor as ourselves', a large part of this love is manifested in our service to them, and one of the greatest way to serve people is by putting to use the talents, gifts and treasure that God has deposited in us. Wow, we are going to have a great time. We will be glad to have you there.
Work at Paradise Farm is already underway, the Lord is doing wonders! We are working towards establishing a commercial farm that fully utilizes the vast gifts of nature that God has blessed our country with, all this without harming or damaging it in the process. Paradise farm is going to be a center of excellence, production and growth. At Paradise Junior School, we feed about 600 people at Paradise Junior School, this is our children and staff. By growing our own food, we shall be able to easily feed all these people three meals a day. What a blessing! Paradise Farm will nourish many people, families, communities and nations.

Paradise is located in Nsaggu village which is located in Ssisa, Busiro County, Central Uganda. Among the many problems facing the area is the problem of children not going to school, and for many who go to leave prematurely. Relevant data shows that in Uganda, 4 out of 10 children aged 3-5 years old attend early childhood education and 8 out of 10 children aged 6-12 years old attend primary school. On top of this, 45% of children in Uganda drop out of School. Paradise is a light in the darkness and an ark of safety for these children, they are here to learn, to discover, explore and they will stay until they are matured.
In Uganda, the under five mortality rate is still relatively high compared to our neighbors in the East African region. Malaria is still a major cause of death. Uganda has a 5% prevalence of HIV, with new infections still a concern. Uganda was recently included in the top 30 countries with the highest burden of Tuberculosis. Land grabbing, broken families and more. These are some of the issues that are plaguing the people in our community. But there is hope, we are the light and salt of this earth. Through our different endeavors, we are impacting this community one life at a time. Me and my country will serve the purposes of God. We are working until His Kingdom comes in Nsaggu village, in Uganda and in the entire world. Behold, it is already here!
