Pastor Leonard and Emily Chemutai

|
Meet Leonard and Emily Chemutai, our directors of the Light School Project. These wonderful
people are the directors of their project in Uganda. They are both from the same village and were married in 2013.
They have two children, Puah and Joshua Jeremiah, and live near the village.
Along with being the director of the school, Leonard is also a full-time pastor and evangelist.
He is currently pursuing his Bachelors of Theology degree from Uganda Baptist Seminary in Jinja. Emily
is a skilled and loving mother who is a trained and excellent at accounting and finance.
Living in a remote area dominated by Islam, they recognized the immense need for a Christian
School that is Gospel focused and driven. With little more than the love of Christ in their hearts,
determination, and some help from a few friends, they started Light Primary School in 2014 which
serves children from Kindergarten through 7th grade. Currently the student population is about 160 students.
The school and tender evangelism by Pastor Leonard has been an incredible witness of Christ’s
Lordship within the Muslim dominated village. At the school children hear of Christ and then go home
and tell their parents. Teachers also hear about Christ and end up giving their lives to him. They have
seen many people come to Christ because of the faithful witness of the school and the Chemutai family.
Uganda N.O.W. Outreach first began working with the Chemutai’s in 2019 and were officially
made ministry partners and Project directors in 2020. Through this fruitful relationship and partnership,
it is our hope to reach many more with the saving Gospel message of Christ’s love, hope, and
redemption for the people of Uganda.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, sot hat you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the beld of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me sot hat I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the Gospel.”
