Kampala, Uganda · Sunday, Jan 18, 2026 — Wednesday, Jan 28, 2026
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!

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!
Our Lord Jesus Christ has charged us to keep our lamps burning. Many are praying together for the light to increase across NYC and advance his kingdom. Scripture makes it clear that when Christians are strong in the Lord, when their lamps are burning brightly, they can expect increased blessings and flourishing in their own lives and in their communities and cities.
“The essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be; God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.” – Fleming Rutledge, The Crucifixion
As we enter this Easter season, our eyes are fixed once again on the cross—the place where justice and mercy meet perfectly, not in abstraction but in a Person. At Harvard Law School, where many are striving to uphold the law and seek justice in a broken world, we are continually reminded that the truest justice was poured out on Christ and the deepest mercy offered through Him.
Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
“If you confess 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
Many of us know this verse well and can even quote it by heart. But to hear this verse uttered to 90+ Harvard students and affiliates gave it totally new significance to me. And praise God—this is exactly what happened! On April 1st, Christian Union Gloria hosted Dr. James Tour for a talk on evidence related to the origins of life. 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.”
Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from Ithaca! We are racing through this semester at a breakneck pace. It is always hard to believe how fast these semesters actually go by as we are ministering to these students, but we are thankful for every opportunity–and there are so many!
“For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” – John 1:16
As we press on in another semester at Harvard Law, we are continually in awe of the depths of God’s radical grace. This grace—undeserved, unrelenting, and transformative—has been the heartbeat of our studies, our fellowship, and our ministry this year. It is shaping us as we learn not only to receive it but to extend it to others in a world desperately in need of the gospel.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to Himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.” -1 Corinthians 5:17-19
Dear CU Lumine Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from New York City. It feels like the semester just started, yet we are halfway through it with spring break coming next week.
Over the last month, we have been experiencing a real movement of the Holy Spirit in our students who have developed a desire to grow deeper in their commitment to Christ. We have seen an increase of students attending our SEEK weekly Monday evening prayer meetings held on campus. We’ve also seen an increase of students participating in our ministry's weekly Friday fast. We gather at the ministry center at 4:30pm to pray and break fast with dinner together. It has truly been exciting to see our students become more intentional about their relationship with Christ and reaching others with His love.
Greetings from Princeton!
As I write this, the sun is shining, the weather is warming up, and Princeton students are off enjoying their spring break, having worked hard through midterms the week before. Passion for the gospel among our students is growing! Our February got off to a great start with 98 students attending our first Encounter of the semester! We also have a new group of students who are going out on campus to evangelize every Friday night before Encounter! Another new group is doing intercessory prayer on Tuesday nights for Princeton. And our Noon Prayer attendance has nearly quadrupled every day this semester! It has been powerful to see so many students come to pray for an hour every weekday.
Greetings from Stanford!
As we near the end of the winter quarter, we rejoice in God’s continued goodness to our community and are grateful for your steadfast prayers and support.
"I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." -Psalm 113:4-6
The winter term is ending here at Dartmouth, and our thoughts are bending towards all things spring. The students have finished up classes and are now completing their exams and heading home for a couple of weeks of well-earned vacation. We’ve had a great term, and are ready for the final third of our year to begin.
Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
“But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.”
-2 Timothy 1:12
Spring is attempting to make a breakthrough in Cambridge; the daylight is lengthening; days are getting warmer, and all our hearts are encouraged. I believe the Spirit is showing up in similar ways at Christian Union Gloria. God is moving at Harvard! Hallelujah, and thanks be to our Lord Jesus. This semester has already been quite eventful, and we see the Lord stirring the hearts of those among our fellowship.
