Our Story
The Late Rev. Ezekiel Mbuga founded the church in 1978 during the reign of President Idi Amin Dada, who is known to have persecuted Christians and abolished many churches. Many believers resorted to underground churches (home fellowships), while others like Rev. Ezekiel decided to proclaim the gospel openly and boldly - which got him in trouble with the law.
In 1978, about 700 believers gathered at Makerere Full Gospel Church in Kampala for overnight prayers. President Idi Amin sent trucks of armed forces, who surrounded the church auditorium and started firing at them. Some escaped, severely wounded, while others denied their Christian faith. The believers that stood firm for Christ's sake were imprisoned in Luzira Prison - one hundred one men and fifty women. The guards placed them in what many referred to as the Condemn Section (section for those sentenced for death).
