Gap-Filler Ministries Mission Statement:
To fill the gaps that sometimes exist in areas of Christian Ministry. Specifically through the means of Biblically-Based, Spiritually-Minded Preaching, Teaching, Prayer, and Giving of financial resources.
We help provide the basics.
We all live on bread and water. Gap-Filler Ministries has helped provide basic necessities to widows and orphans, prisoners, families, refugees, and and other people the Lord has called us to help.
Water
From piping water to a town, to providing a local water storage tank — we have had the opportunity to help provide water to God’s people.
Food

A report from a Prison Ministry:
"I was walking on the streets of Kampala and someone came from behind and grabbed my hand shouting, "Praise God Pastor" and I was wondering who is this person. When I asked him how did you know that I am a pastor, HE TOLD ME THAT I WENT TO THE PRISON WITH A WHITE MAN WHO PREACHED AND I GOT SAVED THAT DAY HE CAME ... AND HE RECALLED YOUR NAMES ... AND SINCE THAT DAY HE ACCEPTED THE LORD AS HIS PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR ...
The good news is that he is a free man now and attends one of the churches in Kampala. He is doing business on the streets selling clothing to vendors. So, my brother, we do plant the seed, but we without knowing how it will germinate, but God knows better. The ministry and support that you do in Africa is very important! It is my prayer that the Lord will continue to bless
Gap-Filler Ministries."

A report from Beam International Ministry:
"Dearest Bro. Dave,
Greetings to you, your family and the entire Gap-Filler's Network.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to these mosquito nets because they presented to me an avenue where we invited all the parents of the school and we brought the single mothers together at the same venue. A function that gathered up to 1000 children and their parents and I utilized the avenue to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many people got saved that day because of the great works of the Lord they witnessed. You cannot imagine what a celebration it ignites in the heart of an orphan, a single mother, a poor helpless one and the entire community when it is received from a Christian Church.
A report from a Church:
"You were a tremendous blessing to the ministry here. We haven't recovered from the Highs of the occasion. Actually, you are still the talk of the sub-county and may Jesus name be praised!"
In His Services,
Vincent Kinene
