From remote Alaska to the mountains of Uganda, Apostles Denver and Stacey Urlaub are living proof that when God calls, He equips—and when believers stand together, communities change. Their story through Loving the Majesty Ministries is marked by steady commitment to the Word, to people, and to staying where God sent them on the mission field. Their commitment isn’t seasonal; it’s a faith-filled response to a lifelong call.
Denver and Stacey became KCM Partners in 2012, the same year they attended their first Southwest Believers’ Convention (SWBC). In fall 2014, their first support from KCM arrived and has continued over the years, often covering 10% to 25% of their annual African budget. To the Urlaubs, that support is more than a number—it’s a tangible expression of commitment that arrives with faith, and at just the right time.
The Urlaubs are honored to share how their partnership with Kenneth Copeland Ministries supports missions in Uganda, and they’re thankful for every prayer and every seed sown.
Called to the Nations—Sent to Uganda
Their journey in East Africa began in a way only the Lord could orchestrate. In March 2012, while studying “caring for orphans and widows” in James 1:27, they received a letter from a 10-year-old orphan boy asking them to visit him. Soon after, a divine connection with another attendee at the Southwest Believers’ Convention opened the door to preach in Uganda—an invitation that became a turning point.
By 2013, the Urlaubs were travelling from village to village, often living in tents among the people. They returned repeatedly, not as visitors passing through, but with a deepening commitment to love, teach, and disciple while trusting God to confirm His Word with lasting fruit for Uganda missions.
“We came to bring the Word in depth—and watch it change lives.”
Denver Urlaub
For more than a decade, Apostles Denver and Stacey poured themselves into organizing and leading pastor conferences and children’s crusades across remote communities.
They hosted week-long teaching conferences patterned after SWBC, preaching faith, forgiveness, and love all day. They addressed cultural patterns that were hurting families and used Scripture to show a better way, helping local pastors lead with truth and compassion. That kind of ministry takes commitment, especially when the work is slow and relational.
They held multi-day children’s crusades filled with worship, Bible teaching, discipleship, and meals. On the final day, parents and leaders came to watch children present what they learned in English and the local language. One Christmas Eve, Denver shared, 26 parents—all Muslims—responded to an altar call and received Jesus.
A God-Sized Transition To Build for Generations
After years of constant travel, the Lord transitioned the Urlaubs into long-term training and discipleship work. Today, their ministry focuses on three connected assignments that strengthen the work on the mission field and multiply the reach of Uganda missions by training up local leaders, educating children, and pastoring the local community.
They are building Yahweh Yeshua Faith Bible College and Worship Center to train pastors who have never had access to Bible education. Many village pastors can’t afford traditional tuition; some don’t even own a Bible. Denver designed a six-semester degree with three-week intensives, priced affordably for all. Scholarships are made possible by generous individuals who partner with the Urlaub’s ministry. Denver teaches foundational doctrine, biblical interpretation, and faith; Stacey teaches prayer, the Holy Spirit, and healing.
“We are building a campus for future generations to know the Word,” Denver said. They own 1.8 acres in Uganda, and Denver has already completed a central structure with living units, an office, and the covered patio used for classes while they expand.
“I have poured a lot of concrete and laid several thousand cement blocks!” Denver said. He and two of their men are currently building a new latrine with indoor plumbing.
The Urlaubs also operate a licensed Christian school, Apostles Denver and Stacey Urlaub Christian Academy, serving preschool through sixth grade. Children receive meals and consistent discipleship in a region where many adults can’t read or write. In just a few years, children who once couldn’t write their names are learning English and scoring strongly on national exams.
Alongside the school and Bible college, the Urlaubs are discipling leaders and laying the foundation for the local church where they pastor. Despite their church building not being complete, weekly training is already underway, and they’re believing that the building will be completed as more support comes in from partners of their ministry. This is a long-haul commitment to people and places.
Compassion Is Part of the Call on the Mission Field
Recently, local children began entering their property and stealing firewood—a valuable commodity in that region—needed to cook meals for students. Denver admits he was upset, until they walked to the children’s homes and saw the poverty firsthand: empty huts, little food, and overwhelming need. Denver said, “My frustration disappeared as compassion overtook me.”
That moment became a fresh reminder that the mission field includes both spiritual hunger and practical hardship. The Urlaubs are there to preach the Word, disciple leaders, feed children, and demonstrate the love of Jesus in tangible ways. Their commitment is not merely to build structures, but to lift lives through the gospel.
Apostles Denver and Stacey are quick to say they could not continue without faithful friends and partners who stand with them to support the Uganda missions. KCM has been a steady source of encouragement through the years. But beyond finances, the Urlaubs say something just as meaningful: KCM Partners are family, and that commitment strengthens them in their mission.
They live in Africa for months at a time, but when they return to Alaska, their staff continues the work in Uganda year-round. Denver and Stacey Urlaub are full-time Word of Faith missionaries with a long-term assignment, and they’re grateful for everyone who prays, gives, and believes with them in Uganda’s missions.
If this testimony stirs your heart, you can be part of what God is doing on the mission field.
- Pray for Denver and Stacey, their team, and the pastors and children they serve.
- Give as the Lord leads to help train pastors, educate children, and build lasting facilities.
- Become a KCM Partner to help take the Word—and hope—to the nations.
When you partner, you’re not just supporting a project—you’re strengthening a shared commitment to establish believers, equip leaders, and raise up a generation that knows Jesus and knows His Word. Your commitment helps carry the load and expand the reach.
