OUR HISTORY
After serving under his pastor for several years, in 1995, Pastor Jackson Senyonga heard God say, “move to the capital city of Uganda and start a church, I will use your obedience to touch the city, nation and beyond.” After he heard this, he and his wife, Pastor Eve engaged in an intense prayer and fasting season. They consulted with their pastor, got his blessing and moved to Kampala with 7 other people. When they got to Kampala, they launched a 30-day outdoor crusade, sharing the gospel with anyone who would listen. It became clear that God had already moved in the city, because Christian Life Church grew from 7 people to 2,000 in two weeks! Within ten months, 7,000 people called Christian Life Church their church home. We have continued to grow over the last 20+ years and with that growth our mission has become more real and more tangible; “Transform the world through the power of Jesus Christ”. What started with one heart has now gone on to be shared with countless others.
OUR PASTOR
Jackson Senyonga is founder and president of Christian Life Ministries. Jackson is a Ugandan native, a husband to a beautiful woman named Eve and the father of three beautiful, healthy children. CLM was established to Mobilize people and resources to help impact lives all over the world especially in Africa. Through the years, homes, schools, churches, and water wells have been built.
Each year short term mission trips from the United States take place to Africa to ensure CLM’s ongoing ministry there continues.
As a supporter of Christian Life Ministries, you can extend Jackson’s vision to countless in Uganda and beyond. Let us show you how.
TOP RADIO
In 1998, we started TOP Radio. It was the first Christian media outlet anywhere in the country. At the time there were only 5 radio stations and most of them were owned by the government. Through the grace of God, we were able to launch it and today it has expanded to the largest privately-owned media house in the country; with TOP radio, TOP TV, Kampala FM, and Rhino FM. We run programs like prayer hours, lunch hours, Christian talk shows, sermons, wedding events, and much more. Through the media house we have seen the development of people, raising of talents, creation of jobs, and transformation of many lives and in the country.
OUTREACH
In 2004, we expanded Top Radio to the northern region of the country, and what we saw there changed our lives forever. The region of Lira was filled with refugee camps due to civil war, famine, and deadly diseases like AIDS. Sadly, the most affected in the camps was the children. In that moment, God challenged us by saying, “if you are truly my followers you MUST actively do something about this.” So, we temporarily abandoned the plan of the radio station, bought a small house with the money we had, and moved in 12 young children. We did this without a strategic plan, but we knew something had to be done. Today, we have built a village, elementary school, and high school for children who would typically not have a chance in life, all through the grace of God and the love and support from many friends. We are also proud to have had our first-round graduates from the university.
