World Embrace

World Embrace is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering unity and community development through the collaboration of Christian churches, specifically focused on Uganda. It operates under the business registration number 845991629RR0001.

Mission and Vision

World Embrace's mission is to create spaces where people can experience unity through community, love, and the transformative presence of Jesus Christ. The organization envisions a unified church across all denominations and organizations, which in turn strengthens community development and the social fabric in regions such as Uganda.

Activities and Programs

A central initiative of World Embrace is the development of the Gulu Community Park, a 22-acre facility in Uganda designed to bring together the regional body of Christ in a shared space for worship, service, and community engagement. The park features playgrounds, sports fields, a library, a restaurant, and other attractions that encourage thousands of visitors to gather.

Staff and volunteers from local churches participate in outreach and programming at the park, using the opportunity to share the Gospel and build relationships. This engagement aims to connect guests with local church families and support their spiritual growth. Notably, World Embrace does not establish churches itself but supports existing local churches to enhance their impact and effectiveness.

Organizational Approach

World Embrace emphasizes inter-denominational dialogue among Ugandan church leaders and works to promote community development by connecting local leaders with the broader church community. Through its efforts, the organization fosters unity and collaboration across different Christian denominations to serve social and spiritual needs collectively.

Geographic Presence

While headquartered in Canada, the organization maintains active operations in Uganda, reflecting its focus on supporting communities there. It also has a presence in the United States to facilitate its work and outreach.

World Embrace is recognized as a Canadian registered charity and operates with a vision of unity and service among Christian communities, contributing to both spiritual and community growth in Uganda through collaborative efforts.
