My Story: How My Life Changed

 This weekly discipleship group is led by two staff of LIFE Ministry Uganda (LMU); Douglas and Rita Ssemaganda. I am so grateful to God for that afternoon when I decided to join the group because my life has never been the same again.

I have faced a number of challenges in my Christian journey, but I have learned how to live a victorious life in Christ from the discipleship sessions. I have learned that I am a child of God and I have to seek the Lord daily. In relation to that, I ought to read the Bible, reflect on its message and apply it in my life. I have also been able to understand through the Scriptures that God’s love is so abundant and He forgives us of all our sins when we confess and repent. I have realized that the more I invest in God and prioritize my spiritual life, the more I grow in Christ’s likeness. Douglas is a wonderful teacher, orator, and diligent servant of God. He has taught us a lot about Christ through the Scriptures. His personal experiences have also helped me in my journey with the Lord. He has extended his teachings as far as equipping us with the skills to ensure that we excel in other areas of our lives, for example, academics, relationships and so much more, all of which I am eternally grateful for.

My experience with LMU has been fulfilling, socially exciting, and eye-opening. It has greatly improved my emotional and spiritual well-being. I wish many more young people have this opportunity.

Testimonies, one after the other have been received, for example, a member called Jamirah stated to me through a WhatsApp audio that she really gives thanks to God for friends like me and other LI group members. She said that we have helped her to welcome Christ back in her life because she had gotten lost, forgotten God and was living a prayer less life. Through LI groups and the home cell fellowship that we formed, she reported that now she can pray and share Christ with her friends and family. Through learning how to pray as observed by ‘DAUDA’ in the Walking with Jesus clips, she prayed to God in such a simple and humble way and God has answered her with a job – we give God all the Glory. Many of our group members have witnessed transformation and God has continued to answer many of their prayers.

What started as a simple LI group, it has birthed into Wednesday and Sunday evening gatherings/fellowships. We thank God that amidst the challenges of being in a Muslim country, we can still spread the good news of Jesus Christ through Leader Impact groups.

Special thanks to Eng. Elon Katweheyo, our Team Leader and Mrs. Ruth Katweheyo, our support staff for all the support and help they have rendered to us. God richly bless you.
