After serving in Soroti, Uganda for 9 years, the Sliedrecht family joined Good Shepherd’s Fold in Uganda in August 2016. With a vision of thriving families and transformed communities in Christ, GSF's mission is to make disciples of Jesus through child care and advocacy, education, and community development. Tim serves as the Director of Community Development with the strong conviction that the Gospel is central for Community Development, that the Fruit of the Spirit will blossom in lives grounded in faith, hope, and love, thus resulting in thriving families and transforming communities in Christ.

On such a foundation, they seek to come alongside and collaborate with leaders and members of the local communities, including the most vulnerable and under-resourced, to research, plan, implement, and oversee integrated movements of personal, economic, and spiritual growth. The focus of these movements is on reconciliation with God, self, others, and the land, highlighting the people’s dignity, assets and resources while addressing the brokenness within their communities.
