Our History

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.
