I was born a Muslim and was the only boy in a family with 4 girls. I was so loved and treasured by my family that I could do no wrong and no one could rebuke me or question me. When I was 14 I visited a church on a Sunday morning out of curiosity to see how the Christians worshiped. There I saw a beautiful girl who was signing praises to Jesus. i determined that I would speak to her at the end of the service. The service went on and on and seemed like a waste of time until the preaching started. The pastor spoke about the power of the cross and I was the first person to respond in the invitation. I was ashamed of how I had been thinking about the girl and gave my life to serve the Lord. That was 1994. One week later I joined the choir. IN 1997 I began Bible training and in 1999 pastored my first church. I was 19 years old. Since then I have been involved in church planting.
My wife was from a Christian home and attended church all her life. An older girl friend led her to Christ and she began singing in the church choir. That is when I met her. She has served the Lord all her life and is such a help to me as a wife and ministry partner. She always desires to be with me and listen to me preach.
WE have a family need of $300 each month and receive about $30 from a friend. I have a public phone in my house that I rent for people to make calls. This helps us to survive.
i have 6 men now pastoring whom I trained and I have started 4 churches. All this after being trained by Samuel Muhima, the FF director in our area. i speak 2 languages international , French and English. and I speak Swahili and Lingala which are our local languages. WE live in a small house with two rooms made of bricks with an iron roof. I spend my time studying and training other men for ministry then going out to start churches and encourage the believers.
My country faces many political and military problems and we are creating many orphans and widows. Social life has broken down and I give my life and lay it down to reach the people of my country, disciple them to do likewise and start more churches.
