What I love about the role I play in ministry?

I love sharing the gospel and seeing people come to know Jesus especially the young adults on campus. Seeing how the Lord is transforming their lives as they grow to knowledge of Him gives me much joy.

About me

I'm a Born Again Christian with a passion for the Great Commission and seeing the lost return to Christ, just as I have. My heart's desire is to be at the feet of Jesus, knowing I can do nothing without Him. I enjoy evening walks, outdoor games, and have developed a newfound love for reading. I'm also an intercessor and find fulfillment in serving others.

My Story

Just like many people, I believed a lie that my fulfillment in life depended on how much money and material possessions I have, eventually turning to gambling as I helplessly watched it took my life down the drainage and I felt unfulfilled and hopeless. One evening, feeling overwhelmed with worry and hopelessness, I heard a voice urging me to turn to Jesus. Calling a pastor, I surrendered my life to Christ on October 28, 2021. Embracing daily Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship, I found true fulfillment in Jesus alone. He delivered me from gambling, replacing worry with joy and renewing my hope. Not only content with His blessings, I'm also certain that I have eternal life.

Before joining LIFE Ministry Uganda, I worked for the Directorate of Industrial Training (MoES), unaware of LIFE Ministry Uganda. During a leave after inviting Christ into my life, I served in my local church, which deepened my faith. The Lord opened my eyes to a call to reach the lost during Jesus film training in Gulu in March 2021, I resigned my job and He divinely aligned me to LIFE Ministry Uganda. Now, I'm a missionary Staff after finishing the Great Commission Training in March 2024. I'm working under student Led Movement together with a team of faithful ministry partners fulfilling God's call upon my life to make disciples as I witness lives being transformed by the Lord. Knowing He is with me always, gives me joy, hope and strength.
