Hosted by Christian Union America in partnership with World Trumpet Mission
Journey to Revival: An Unforgettable Uganda Experience
Step onto Prayer Mountain in Kampala, Uganda joining 1,000–2,000 believers from around the world for Trumpet Camp, World Trumpet Mission’s annual gathering led by John Mulinde. Expect catalytic teaching, powerful corporate prayer, and a deep encounter with God and the global body of Christ. The purpose of this annual conference is to radically and deeply strengthen attendees in their love and zeal for God, and to provide practical steps in how to seek God for revival and transformation in personal lives, families, communities and nations. Dr. Mulinde’s ministry is committed to this mission worldwide after he and others led a radical transformation in Uganda, seeing the HIV infection rate drop from 33% to 6% in the matter of a few years, as a result of calling the nation to seek God like never before.
Who Is This For?
Christ-centered leaders, intercessors, and marketplace believers, longing for personal renewal and to learn practices that transform families, cities and nations.
What Others Are Saying:
Jeff writes: “What I witnessed and experienced at Trumpet Camp was unlike anything I’ve known in America. Prayer was ascending to heaven night and day—unceasing, without interruption. There was never a moment when the mountain was not alive with intercession. If this is even a glimpse of how God transformed Uganda in the late 1990s, then surely we would be foolish to doubt that He can also bring revival to America. All American Christians need to experience prayer in Uganda. You will be forever changed.”
Mischa writes: “In Uganda, we basked in God’s presence. We received from the ministry of worship. We grew in the practice of prayer. We gathered on a mountain where the kinds of fervent God-seeking that have marked the breakthroughs of my life are just another Tuesday. And we learned from masters of revival, an evergreen topic in 21st Century ministry. It forced me to ask: am I doing ministry God’s way, or expecting him to bless mine?
Louis writes: “Trumpet Camp deeply transformed my prayer life, igniting a renewed hunger for God’s presence and a greater intimacy in seeking His voice. As a result, my church has experienced a powerful awakening, marked by increased passion, unified devotion, and a bold commitment to impact our region for Christ.”

Rev. Dr. John W. Mulinde - Biography
Rev. Dr. John W. Mulinde is the Founder and Global Overseer of World Trumpet Mission (WTM), an international, interdenominational ministry headquartered in Kampala, Uganda, dedicated to transformational revival across the globe. Established in 1988 following a profound supernatural encounter with God in Nakaseke, Uganda, WTM has grown from a rural outreach to a global movement, impacting nations through prayer, revival, and mission work. Dr. Mulinde’s calling to “blow the trumpet” (Joel 2:1) has led him to mobilize the Body of Christ for repentance, spiritual awakening, and the fulfillment of the Great Commission through his GO NATIONS initiative.
An internationally sought-after speaker, Dr. Mulinde has ministered in countless countries including Taiwan, Germany, and the United States, delivering powerful messages on prayer, community transformation, and preparing the Church for Christ’s return. His influential role in Uganda’s transformation, including efforts credited with reducing the HIV/AIDS epidemic and contributing to the end of the Joseph Kony conflict, is documented in works like Uganda’s Transformation and An Unconventional War by The Sentinel Group. He holds an honorary doctorate in theology and organizational leadership from Nashville Seminary and Bible College and serves on the International Board of Elders for the Jerusalem House of Prayer for All Nations.
As an author, Dr. Mulinde’s books, including Nation at Crossroads, Midnight Call, Set Apart for God, and Destiny Achiever, inspire leaders to pursue God’s purpose. He founded the Nations Prayer Mountain in Seguku, Uganda, a 100-acre retreat for fasting and prayer, and leads the annual TrumpetCamp, uniting thousands of believers and leaders worldwide. Dr. Mulinde resides in Kampala, embodying a legacy of faith and leadership. Join us to hear Dr. Mulinde’s prophetic insights and practical strategies for revival, equipping pastors to lead with power and purpose in these critical times.
FAQs
Can I arrive late or leave early?
Yes, although it could be a bit complicated. Share your desired travel dates with Sonya at Sonya.Polino@christianunion.org and we’ll advise on possibilities and cost, and shuttle options.
Is the hotel near restaurants?
Yes, however, most do best with eating dinner at the hotel each evening, and for lunch taking snacks to the conference site. Breakfast is included at the hotel each morning. It’s a big breakfast and some don’t eat any lunch as a result.
Is a post conference safari an option?
Yes, and options range from 2–3 days; details available by emailing Sonya at Sonya.Polino@christianunion.org.
Why do we arrive and depart so that the first and last days of the conference are missed?
Given time restrictions of most who have expressed interest, ten days seems like a great length for the trip, and attendees will get 7 full days of the conference (instead of 9) and will still have an absolutely extraordinary experience. Those wanting to arrive earlier or leave later could still work to arrange that if desired.
Why Go?
Because we eagerly desire God to change our own lives and the lives of those in the USA as he’s done in recent years in Uganda and other nations. Come to be radically blessed, equipped, refreshed, and sent. Return with fresh faith, practical ways to draw close to God, and lifelong friendships from a global move of prayer. Your understanding and practice of prayer will significantly deepen!

A Scientific Challenge to the Proposals on Life's Origin
By Erin conner, Writer and communications associate
"I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher." -C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
On a warm Friday evening in a packed lecture hall in one of Princeton's prestigious science buildings, Dr. James Tour began his presentation with a picture of his family.
He explained how much he loved them, and he acknowledged the support of his wife in the audience, who had traveled with him to four universities—Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, and Princeton—for speaking engagements that week hosted by Christian Union. In a world that uses people and values things, this man stood before his audience illustrating in a simple yet profound way that relationships are the meaning and reason for it all.
Dr. Tour is a world-renowned chemist, nanotechnologist, and professor at Rice University, known globally for his groundbreaking research in graphene, nanomedicine, and carbon nanomaterials. With over 700 research publications, 150 patents, and decades of pioneering contributions, he has been recognized as one of the foremost scientific minds of our time. During his presentation, he reviewed some of the projects that he and his team are working on in his research lab. All projects shared one trait in common: from traumatic brain injury research to more efficient ways of recycling expensive materials—all hold the potential to give life by better stewarding resources and by solving meaningful problems.
Slide by slide of his presentation, Tour, an expert chemist, poked holes in the origin of life researchers' claims about the scientific likelihood of a cell arising from random molecular processes. Exploring the nature of molecules, Tour shared, in part, that molecules never move toward life unless an organism is acting upon them. Simply stated, molecules have no propensity to evolve toward life.
As a professor, Tour used examples from the college classroom to illustrate concepts and explained that science is very good at examining the characteristics of life but not the meaning of it. He suggested we look in the Bible for that. So after explaining some principles upon which God designed the physical world to work, Dr. Tour began to explore the principles upon which God designed the metaphysical world.
Right in the middle of a chemistry lecture, Tour put up a slide that read, "If you declare with your mouth that 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
His audience of 150 people at Princeton that night, whether professors, science majors, PhD candidates, or non-science undergraduates, sat face-to-face with the truth of salvation—a significant part of the meaning of life. Tour explained the Bible can be "tested" by historians and still stand. He shared evidence of why.
The audience was given an opportunity to then ask questions. Dr. Tour answered them all, staying long past the 90 minutes assigned to this event.
Dr. Tour's talk revealed to his audience that we all have faith. We all believe in something. In the classroom that night, spiritually speaking, Tour tore down the idol of human achievement or accomplishment. As one of the most accomplished chemists in the world, he shared the powerful, countercultural idea that scientists are just mere men and women; they have flaws, insecurities, and issues like everyone else. They have temptations to take the easy way out, to do the wrong thing, or to be motivated for the wrong reasons, just like anyone else. They are not God. The people who do research, write articles, and peer review them are flawed human beings who do not know all things, nor do they always do everything with perfect motives and methods.
The part of the question-and-answer session in which Tour problematized a culture of exaltation of scientists and asked the scientists in the room to push back on research by challenging it in meaningful ways to lead to a deeper understanding of truth was arguably one of the most powerful parts of the lecture. What if scientists are wrong about something we all believe to be true? What if people are wrong about who Jesus is? Do we have faith in mere men or faith in God?
We all are placing our faith in something. This is the reality that Tour implicitly had his audience face, not just at Princeton, but at Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth as well. Following Tour's presentation at Dartmouth College, a doctor who attended, shared, "I can't recall a presentation so enlightening."
Every spring, for over two decades, Christian Union has proclaimed the gospel in a comprehensive way: through scientists, street evangelism campaigns, and other methods of outreach because, in a culture of deception and despair, there is nothing more logical and loving than sharing the truth of God's metaphysical love through the physical revelation of Jesus Christ.
As we step into the spring quarter, we thank God for his continued work on our campus and for your partnership in prayer and support. With new opportunities ahead, we ask for your prayers as we seek to make Christ known at Stanford!
Something big is continuing to stir at Yale! This past month has been nothing short of remarkable. God is moving mightily at Yale, and we are seeing students boldly proclaim the gospel like never before.
Night after night, 20-25 students are walking across campus, sharing the good news of Jesus and praying with their peers. The hunger for truth is undeniable. Just before our evangelistic prayer and worship event at Battell Chapel on February 21-22, an email titled, “What is the Purpose of Your Life?” was sent out to every student on campus. That email ignited a firestorm of discussion, going viral on Yale’s internal social media platform, Fizz, with 2,100 comments in a single day! The curiosity and spiritual hunger this initiative sparked is overwhelming.
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” -Matthew 24:14
Even as the spring semester comes to a rapid close, we have had a flurry of great events here, and the campus is buzzing with spiritual conversations! In mid-March we hosted CU Proclaim!, a week of evangelism training and evangelism on campus where students at Princeton and students visiting from CU Lux at Yale, CU Vox at Dartmouth, and CU Lumine at Columbia honed their skills and boldly proclaimed the gospel across Princeton’s campus!
“And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts.” -Acts 2:46
Home to the students at CU Libertas is the Judson Ministry Center. This is a warm space on campus where student leaders flock together for Bible courses, discipleship meetings, and to break bread with one another. Before spring break, the students arranged a fasting day, prayer, and a meal together at the ministry center. The students agreed to fast for the entire day to pray for the campus, our ministry, and one another. The fast was finished together that evening with prayer and a meal with one another. The word that comes to mind when I think of the growth thus far with CU Libertas is “unity.”
Dear CU Lumine Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Grace and peace from New York City.
As our students return from spring break, please continue to pray for Columbia University and Barnard College. During the past couple of weeks, we’ve had protests taking place on and around campus. Our students are becoming weary and overwhelmed at times, as you can imagine. However, they believe God is stirring the hearts of their peers and see this as a great opportunity to share the gospel with those who are struggling during these difficult times.
Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
What an incredible month March was here at Christian Union Vita! The winter weather finally lost its hold on Cornell’s campus for some much-needed sunshine and relative warmth, and students and faculty alike experienced lifted spirits and joyful gratitude to feel the sun’s warming rays after months of bitter cold, gray skies, and lots of snow.
"The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world."
-Psalm 19:1-4 ESV
One of the greatest ways that people are exposed to the gospel is through the inimitable beauty of nature. You can’t miss the grandeur of God's creation, especially in a place like Dartmouth! And the great thing about what God has made is that it’s not just on the surface. No matter how deep you go, it just gets more incredible. Far from being in conflict, the deeper you look, the more science and religion work together!
