I was born in 1960 and remained in Uganda during the Idi Amin era. I was born again in 1981 and after one year I felt the calling of God to ministry. Four years later I joined the Assemblies of God theological college in Nairobi, Kenya and received a B.A. in theology. I came back to Uganda in 1988 for pastoral ministry. In 1991 I married my wife, Debra, who was also from Uganda. In 1993 we pioneered a church in Entebbe. We were challenged by the great need of the poor and underprivileged children. Many of the children were not in school because their parents had died from AIDS or from the war.
 Debra had worked with an orphanage and had also toured with the African Children’s Choir, which gave her wisdom and insight for what was ahead of us. Debra and I have five children of our own and twelve more that we have adopted as our own.  

We have worked with Richard and Debra for years and through our relationship we are partnering to birth Abba House. At this time we are caring for 35 orphans.
