Restoration Gateway exists to join Christ in restoring peace and healing wounds among the vulnerable children and war-torn people of northern Uganda.

500 acres of land overlooking the Nile River is being developed into a holistic, reproducible community through:

1. Orphan care
2. Medical and dental care
3. Empowerment of Ugandans
4. Ministry to the church of Uganda

The ministry of Restoration Gateway was birthed in 2004 when seven Ugandan men began meeting to pray under a tree on the land presently held by the project. Their prayer was that God would send someone to help restore all that the enemy had stolen in their land. God answered those prayers and issued a call to Dr. Tim and Janice McCall in early 2005 to move to Uganda. The first trip by the McCalls took place in May of 2005, and the land for the project was selected. Over the next 18 months, legal title to the land was obtained, a Ugandan Nongovernmental Organization (NGO) and U.S. nonprofit were established, and the McCalls received extra missionary training and made preparations to launch the new ministry. 

Tim McCall, M.D., moved onto the raw land in 2007, built a road to the project, and began developing infrastructure. His wife Janice and another missionary, Ms. Peggy Stratton, joined him that summer. There are now 70+ orphans, eight house moms, a primary school staff, seven senior Ugandan employees and more than 70 employees – mostly unskilled and uneducated Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs). Learn more about the missionaries on the bio page.
