Cap Church

Almost every May since 2005, a team of 10-12 hearty souls from CapChurch in North Vancouver have journeyed to eastern Uganda. Here, team members serve, love, laugh, work, cheer and re-discover life with new friends a half a world away. And CapChurch plans to continue to send teams. Through this cross-cultural engagement of commitment and relationships, there is now a presence of the villages of Bufukhula & now Nashisa in North Vancouver - in the lives of the members and congregation of CapChurch, in the artwork and pictures distributed through fundraising exhibits at the Bellevue Gallery, and in the hearts and homes of those that have sponsored over 300 children of the Mbale district. And there are landmarks of Cap’s influence in Bufukhula – dedicated school blocks, teachers' accommodation, a clean water supply, a new medical clinic and a new church building. The whole experience has been life-transforming and heart-rending, and similar transformations are hoped for in Nashisa, a nearby village with whom Cap is now journeying. CapChurch pastor emeritus Paddy Ducklow, who has made the journey himself explains, “It’s changed the church, it’s changed our hearts. It feels like we’re in synchronicity with God in some big way.”
