Joy of Christ Ministries
Joy of Christ Ministries was founded in 2012 by Pastor Elijah Bawuye after a personal journey of faith that began when he gave his life to Christ in 2002 while in high school.
What started as one man's surrender to Christ has grown into a movement touching thousands of lives across Uganda.

Year the ministry was founded
The ministry started as a small home fellowship of five people meeting in a sitting room, later moving outside under a tree as it grew. Through prayer, the Word of God, and the leading of the Holy Spirit, the fellowship developed into a ministry focused on transformation and discipleship.
Today, Joy of Christ Ministries is a growing apostolic work involved in church planting, evangelism, leadership development, and community outreach, including education for vulnerable children through Joy of Christ Schools.
