PASTOR JOHNSON BAKASHABA

ABOUT ME
I was born in 1968 in Kabale Uganda. I lost my parents at an early age. I grew up with my relatives, who picked me up and raised me as their own child. They took me to school up to secondary school. My dream was to become a Medical Doctor, but calamity befell me in 1987, when my uncle who was paying my school fees died. I dropped out of school and started to help my auntie with business. Around then i gave my life to Jesus and a new life begun as i found new hope in Jesus Christ. God called me into ministry in 1988, i joined Bible school in 1989 for three years after which i started to serve in Pastoral ministry in our local church. God led me to start the present ministry in 1997 in a slummy place part of Kabale. We started 5 people but have grown today to 200 people. We have planted 30 churches in western Uganda.
I am married to Margaret and we have 3 children and 5 adopted children.
Because of the good seed of compassion my foster parents planted in,God has put a burden upon me to take care of helpless children. I spent my very first earnings to take orphans to school. My home is a shelter to home less ad suffering children. My desire has always been to see disadvantaged children go to school, have shelter, food and clothing.
I thank God for different people he has brought my way to make this dream a reality. May the good Lord bless you abundantly.

REVIVAL TABERNACLE MINISTRIES
BACKGROUND:
When God sent us in this slum, you could literally see no hope for such a community. People here were drunkards, prostitutes and murderers. And most of them bound by the evil spirit of witchcraft.The community has no economic activity for income, they basically depend on casual labors and small businesses. There is too much poverty in the land and because of a lot of prostitution there are so many children loitering on the streets, most of whom have lost their parents to diseases like HIV/AIDS. Other children are born of single mothers and child mothers. With no help these run to the streets for begging and many turn into thieves and the girls into prostitutes. Because most parents can't afford school fees, the majority of the children don't go to school. We started to pray and to reach out to the community with the gospel of salvation through Christ. However it became increasingly difficult to transform the entire community without meeting their basic needs especially feeding, clothing, medical care and education.
We pray that God will bring our way,people who can join hands with us to reach this community with the love of Christ.
