MEET OUR UGANDA MINISTRY DIRECTOR
Pastor Danial Mugeni
Director of Uganda Ministries
Pastor, Grace Harvest House of Worship – Iganga
IGANGA↔KALAGI
A life changed. A mission growing.
Pastor Danial gave his life to Jesus Christ in 1992. His testimony describes a difficult childhood marked by family separation, abuse, and neglect. He shares how faith in Christ brought freedom from addiction and a new direction for his life.
In 2002, he responded to a call into ministry. In 2010, he and his wife began pastoring in Iganga. He now serves as pastor of Grace Harvest House of Worship – Iganga. Their ministry has also included opening their home to children in need.
Today, as Director of Uganda Ministries for TheShield HD Ministry International, he oversees our ministry in both Iganga and Kalagi. His ministry history includes pastoring in Iganga and starting and leading TheShield’s work in Kalagi, in the Greater Kampala area. He continues connecting people and communities through one shared mission.

GIVING QUESTIONS
Clear answers.
A shared purpose.
How do I give toward a particular need?
When connected, campaign-specific Square links assign donations to the selected need. Clear Hope’s giving button now opens its Square donation page. Grace Harvest also has its own Square donation link. Pastor & Family Support uses our existing PayPal link until its Square link is added. PayPal gifts do not automatically update the funding tracker; contact TheShield to arrange their designation.
Contact TheShield →How is Pastor & Family Support managed?
TheShield is arranging direct payment of selected household and ministry expenses, alongside weekly support for other agreed needs. These arrangements will begin as funding and payment details become available. Our goal is to provide consistent support for Danial, his wife, and their five children, including ministry travel between Iganga and Kalagi.
What does the pastor’s monthly support goal cover?
The goal is UGX 3,000,000 per month. Annualized planned expenses total approximately UGX 2,633,336, with UGX 366,664 for contingency and maintenance. The budget includes household food, hygiene, utilities, children’s education, medical care, ministry transport, lodging, travel meals, airtime, and laundry.
The annualized budget provides for 52 weeks of recurring weekly expenses. As funding becomes available, direct-payment and weekly cash allocations will follow the agreed expense schedule.
What is Clear Hope’s monthly operating budget?
Clear Hope’s budget is $1,500 USD per month for 26 children in Iganga. It is separate from the pastor’s household support and the church rebuilding project.

THE STORY BEHIND THE NEED
Three years of rebuilding.
A next step we can share.
A storm tore the roof off Pastor Danial’s church, Grace Harvest House of Worship in Iganga. The rebuilding effort has continued for three years.
So far, all building materials and contracted labor have been paid for exclusively by TheShield HD Ministry International. We are now inviting individuals, churches, and ministries to help carry the work forward.
The next phase is purchasing the roof beams and trusses needed to move toward enclosing the building. Your support can help make this next stage possible.
