OUR PASTOR

Pastor Mwandha Michael was born form a family of Law Clerk in high Court of Jinja in 1967.  The life of Pastor Mwandha Michael turned into serious suffering when the father was murdered during Amin’s regime in 1977.  I grey up as a bush boy looking after goats and cows of village people.  I could not locate where my mother was since all assets and land was grabbed and sold by the relatives and brothers of my late father.   I was denied the right of education until the regime of Dr. Milton Obote took over in 1981, that I got chance to continue with my studies when they offered free education program for orphans.  During that time was time of experiencing serious poverty and ignorance.

I studied up to S.4 in 1989 and that is year I first met my mother but she lived only few days as she was affected with HIV/AIDS she died that very year, but before dying she had showed me to love Christ.  I had given my life to Christ in 1984 when I had from the preacher form Morocco called Abudalah.  I was in Church of Uganda.  I was in Church of Uganda. Until I got married to Sarah in 1989 and that very year I joined Unity for Christ who led me into water baptism and that very day I got baptism in the power of the Holy Spirit.  I became a youth leader until 1990 I was sent to Namwiwa village to be a local Pastor.

I used to travel a distance of 80kms to got and serve the church.  I could walk some times or the church could send in a member to come and pick on a bicycle until they bought a bicycle for me.  I had no salary in 1984, I was taken to Jinja and we began to establish Beroya Gospel Fellowship where I began as a co-founder.  We had a focus on church planting, training leaders and raising funds to buy land build up our own local church structures in remote villages.

In 1995, I was admitted in Global Theological Seminary, where I got a degree in Theology in 1999, during that time at seminary I helped to plant many local churches.  In 2000 I joined SIFAT College where I did a course in community development and appropriate technology, project planning and proposal writing.
