Apostle Gerald Kwitegereza
I was born in 1964 in DR Congo former Zaire. I am a son to peasants: Mr. & Mrs. Donati Ntawenda who are still alive today in DR Congo. I'm the 4th born in my mother's womb to one father polygamy of 4 wives, but one died. We are many children to one father .I grew in Zaire (DR Congo) studied primary, secondary levels in the same country.
I got saved in 1978. After completing my senior 3 in 1980 , I stopped and served the Lord under my pastor John Bakinahe as an Evangelist.
I planted several churches in Zaire. In 1982 , I married my wife Ventina, and we are blessed with 7 children, but the 1st born went in heaven. Currently we have 6 (3 boys& 3 girls).
The whole of my family was not happy of my salvation. I , with my wife were hated by all family members.
In 1983 , I , with my wife joined Bible school in Zaire called (Institut Biblique de Rwanguba ) for four years. In 1987 I was ordained as a Reverend. In 1988 - 1989 we were appointed to train pastors in a certain Bible School called Ecole Biblique de Buramba. In the same year 1989 the Lord called me to serve Him in Uganda .
I doubted since I did not know the language in Uganda , this was English as for me I just new French . The voice came again, then I obeyed & went to Uganda. By then we had 2 children (Recheal girl & Eli boy ).Reachel whom I consider as my 1st born since the real 1st one went to heaven, became sick, mental problem.
In 1990 we took her to hospitals but it was in vain . We backslid and went to wizards.
We went back to Zaire . In the same year the voice from the Lord came to me twice saying that Gerald , are you sleeping when my people in Uganda are dying? I though that the Lord will take me in Kampala the capital city of Uganda, if not ,then one of the major towns of Uganda. It was the opposite of my wish. He took my in a deep place called Kyakabadima in Kibale District.
Here it was worse. Some body gave me his hut in which I stayed with my family. When I began the ministry , since since I did not know the language (English ) even the local ones , communication was to hard. I with my family were hated by the religious people, we resisted until they bribed the police men and other big officers to arrest me due to ministry. I was jailed and beaten with sinners in prison for 17 days . When my parents heard of it they called me back to Zaire , they sent so many letters of discouragement. My reply to them was : Unless the One called me and sent says , I will obey. If not , I am still in Uganda .
I forgave my parents & family & those who harassed me in Uganda. Now almost all the people in my family are saved. The key man Francis Nsenga in Kyakabadima who bribed police to take into prison is now the one pastoring the same 1st church I planted in 1991.
By then I was affiliated to Assemblies of God until 1995 . In 1996 I joined World Revival & Salvation Ministries . In 1997 I was elected as the National treasurer of the ministry until 2005.
I planted and revived hundreds of churches in DR Congo,
Kenya , Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia , and Zimbambwe.. In 2000 I was confirmed as a
Bishop.
In 2006 to date God gave me a new ministry called Shalom Revival Ministries International, which is registered. At the moment we have 3 orphanages , in which one is in Kampala city and a church too.
On 24th Sept 2007, I was confirmed as an Apostle in the International Apostolic Net work (IAN) , and by God's grace I was elected as the Chairman of all the apostles in Kampala , those in IAN.
I am in need of your prayer support as my vision is to reach the whole world spreading the Word of God.
Thank you.
In His service:
