The following is the outline of the Uganda Report. The full report can be found here.
- All day seminar on the Bible and homosexuality
- Steve Parelli preaches an inclusive message and Jose gives his testimony at a small
Pentecostal church
- A committee of five forms for the purpose of exploring the idea of starting Other Sheep
Uganda
- Jose Ortiz and Steve Parelli visit New Life School, Masaka, Uganda
- Other Sheep fellowship cell group for closeted gays in Kampala since August 2007
- Additional individuals with whom we met/ and other notes (i.e., the book
Homosexuality: Perspectives from Uganda, copyright 2007).

Christopher Senyonjo, Rt. Rev. Bishop (D.D.Min), an Anglican priest, has an article in the book in which he speaks of "the sexual minority people whom some . . . call the other sheep" [page 15]. Also, on the same page, he recommends two books for reading, one of which is "The Children Are Free."
In 2007, Steve and Jose, while in Uganda for a few days, phoned Christopher Senyonjo and had a short conversation with him, but were not able to meet due to time restraints. Nonetheless, they did leave copies of the book "The Children Are Free" and they did introduce the ministry of Other Sheep to area LGBT Christians. Homosexuality: Perspectives from Uganda was published in 2007 sometime after our visit we assume because of newspaper articles included in the publication with a date late in 2007.
