Moses Mukisa was born to Adlam and Merab Bamuzibire on March 29th 1976, and is the last born of six children. Having been orphaned at eight years, and then having his eldest brother murdered three years later, the chances of ever making it in life looked bleak. With his widowed mother being a primary school teacher and very poorly paid, it was only a miracle that he with all his siblings went through school.
In 1996, Moses lost his mother just two weeks before the national A level exams at which he had to excel, else the future was still uncertain. Having sat for those exams under such extraordinary circumstances, the Lord performed another miracle when he came out the 4th best in the sciences category in the whole country! He went on to university to study architecture. This was and still remains a turning moment; a cementing of trust.
While at Makerere university, Moses joined St Francis Chapel which had very great youth programs under Rev Canon Benoni Mugarura – Mutana. This led to a discovery of gifts and talents including music, teaching of the word and leadership. In December 2000, Moses mobilized many other people to start Come Alive Ministries, which later became Worship Harvest.
In 2005, Moses had a call from God to plant a unique church with a focus on resourcing people in worshiping God and serving others meaningfully. The church started in April 2006 and has grown to two congregations now. Worship Harvest still emphasizes the more traditional ministries of worship, fellowship, discipleship and evangelism; but has also redefined missions; engaging community in the areas of business/finance, education, health and governance or leadership.
At Worship Harvest, church begins on Monday!
God in His own grace has turned a child who grew up with no father and no material things to celebrate about into one who is being a father figure to many and creating a culture of transformation for many. Only God can tell where this story is going, but there is certainly already much to give thanks for.
