WHO
WE
ARE
Yanunula Ministries is a non-profit organization operating in Uganda to serve the towns of Jinja, Kamuli, and surrounding communities.
Yanunula was founded by Adam and Lauren Bonertz in 2023. God began stirring the vision for Yanunula Ministries in the hearts of Adam and Lauren in 2015 after making it clear they would spend their lives in ministry together. They have had the opportunity to work in Uganda with multiple ministries before founding Yanunula and have fallen in love with the country God has called them to.
Our heart is to unveil the truth of the Gospel, promote purpose, empower the Ugandan people, and create sustainable programs that will promote generational change.
What
we
do

Discipleship Groups
Weekly gatherings exist to foster fellowship, worship our Creator, and study Scripture so that the life-changing power of the Gospel may be revealed.
Home Visits
Before weekly discipleship groups, we spend time in the community and in people’s homes to build deeper relationships and to care for families. These visits create space for vulnerability, wellness checks, and prayer as we walk alongside people in their everyday lives.
