ecause our mother abandoned us and disappeared from us.

She left me with 5 brothers and 3 sisters to care for.

When I was 21 years old, with a strong background in the Catholic faith, I went and joined the Word & Spirit Seminary where I did my first diploma in Theology and a certificate in children’s ministry. In the 1993 I felt a call to the Ministry, orphans and HIV/AIDS work. In the year 1994, I was appointed as Minister/General Secretary of Assembly of Pentecostal Assembly of God Churches in Bukoli Areas of Uganda. In 1994 to 1996 I served as a primary teacher.
