Thomas Ojangole

Tom is 33. He grew up in the city of Kampala with his family. His first encounter with Christianity was 11 years ago when he went around visiting churches around their home out of sheer curiosity. He ended up joining the church through a friend’s invitation and gradually encountered the gospel and became a believer.

Tom is a civil engineer by training and is passionate about evangelism. He loves preaching and leading small group bible studies at his local church. After Apprentice Training, he hopes to teach and preach God’s Word faithfully in the context he is currently serving and hopes to serve in full-time gospel work.

Sandra Kosse Annie

Sandra is 33. She was raised in an Anglican home. She came to saving faith during one of the school’s Christian Union meetings. While at school Sandra was involved in the music ministry.

Now Sandra goes to an Anglican church where she serves in the music and children’s ministry. She became interested in AMT after hearing about it from two of our former Apprentices. During the interviews, she said she had been encouraged by how they had grown in their handling of God’s Word.

She hopes that the Apprentice Ministry Training will help her know God’s Word deeper and therefore become an effective minister in the ministries she is currently involved in.

Prynce Joel Atiku Okuyo

Prynce is 37. He is engaged to be married. He was raised in a Roman Catholic home to a father who served in the military. While growing up, Prynce had a lot of questions about the various practices in the Roman Catholic Church but was never convinced by the answers that were given by the priests.

He became a believer at the age of 10 through an evangelistic play about Christ that was shown at a cinema hall near his school. Since then, he has continued to grow through his involvement in bible study groups and fellowship with mature and godly friends.

Prynce started and continues to direct a film production company. He believes that God is calling him into media production as a means of witnessing to the world. He hopes that AMT will serve as a foundation that informs the content that he will produce as a film director.

Primrose Ninsiima

Primrose is 23. She came to faith in a Roman Catholic secondary school when she was 16. She heard the gospel preached in Scripture Union fellowship. She was a student leader in the University Christian fellowship while at the University.

Primrose has attended a number of LWU annual student leaders’ conferences and seminars. She’s passionate about God’s Word, desires to learn expository preaching for effective ministry at her local Church, a reason she applied for AMT. “I want to dig deeper into the word, know how to interpret and teach it well to others.”

Joanitta Ddambya

Joanitta is 27. She got to know Christ and became a believer through her fellow students in 2013. Although her salvation journey has not been smooth, she strongly believes that accepting Christ as Lord and serving Him was the best decision ever in her life.

She serves at a Pentecostal Church in the heart of Kampala. She is part of the discipleship team that helps nurture new believers and follow them up. She also serves as part of the welcoming team (usher).

Joanitta expects to acquire Bible knowledge and skills from AMT which will guide her preaching and teaching the Bible to other people. She also hopes AMT will serve as a stepping stone to further Theological training for full-time Christian work.

Immaculate Ariko

Immaculate is 50. She is a widow with 2 boys and 1 girl. Having been raised a Roman Catholic, she came to saving faith in 2011 through her interaction with a pastor in her local area. Since then, she has grown to maturity through the reading of God’s Word, prayer, and fellowship with fellow believers.

Immaculate recently joined a Baptist church where she is still praying for God’s guidance on how to serve. She is passionate about Children’s and Women’s ministry. She hopes that through Apprentice Ministry Training, she will learn how to study and accurately handle the word of God.

Farida Nakazzi Keren

Faridah is 30. She was raised in a Moslem family. She was saved at the age of 6 in a Pentecostal church near her home. With a lot of pressure from her father, Faridah was forced to go to the Mosque on Friday while stealthily going to church on Sunday. Her family members now believe in the God they once rejected; which was is a great encouragement for her.

Faridah continued to grow through reading the bible, Christian literature and getting involved in various Christian fellowships. During school, she served as the Christian Union’s chairperson and warden.

She goes to a Baptist church where she is involved in leading music and children’s ministry. She is also very passionate about teaching the bible to women and hopes to do this full-time. While at AMT, Faridah hopes to be equipped for the ministry of the Word and to discover her calling.

Dennis hopes that AMT will grow his knowledge and understanding of God’s word and his ability to teach it. He also hopes that the Lord will help him affirm his gospel call.

James Onegiu

Arnold Arinda Bright

Bright is 25. He is the 3rd born of five and grew up in an Anglican church where his father served as a minister. He came to saving faith 6 years ago after his father’s persistent witnessing to him.

He believes that AMT will equip him with the needed knowledge and skills to faithfully handle the Word of God and help him shape his mind for further theological training.

Desmond Okwairwoth

Desmond is 26. Growing up, Desmond used to go for alter calls most times according to how the sermon touched him, but his point of no return and total submission was when he was 14. Owing to his passion for music, he immediately started serving in his local church as part of the music, multimedia, and sound teams. He enjoys reaching out with the gospel to his peers and leading small bible studies at his church.

Desmond has attended as a student and served as a volunteer at three of Living Word Uganda’s annual student conferences where he developed a real hunger and yearning to study the bible more hence applying for AMT.

Desmond is hoping and is eager to get rooted in the Bible at AMT so as to serve his church better through discipling young people. He would like to see young people grow in the Lord to a point where they too can disciple others. He is passionate about music and would like to take the gospel to musicians so that they would write, sing and play music rooted in the Scriptures.

Christine Aboth Eveline

Christine is 27. She is married to Mr. Naho. She was raised in a Christian home where she was always forced to attend church. She didn’t come to saving faith until 2013 during her first year at University. After her conversion, Christine served in the Christian Union as the Ass. General secretary. She and her husband have recently joined a Pentecostal church where they are still seeking opportunities to serve.

Christine is very passionate about serving in Music, Evangelism, and children’s ministry. She dreams of opening up a Christian music school to train and equip others to think biblically about music. On why she joins AMT, Christine says “I seek to be equipped with skills of faithful Bible handling and teaching, I have never had an opportunity to get schooled in the word of God, and yet I do ministry. It’s very sad standing before a group of people with no idea of what one is saying because of lack of training.”

Therefore, Christine hopes that AMT will equip her with the skill of faithful bible handling so that she will also support the husband in his missionary endeavors. She also prays during this time the Lord will deepen her passion to study and teach God’s word.
