A Man Who Changed His Community – Rogers Sserwadda

Rogers, Johan and Harriet

Rogers Sserwadda is an Uganda Pastor who has a congregation in Kampala. He is 48 years old,  is married to Harriet Sserwadda Mwesigwa and they have two biological children, named Rogers Mwesigwa and Ronald Kisekka. He enrolled as a student number 230 on the AFMIN On10 program in Nakuru Kenya, which he attended from April 2004 – August 2007. The reason why he attended the AFMIN school in Kenya is because AFMIN only started AFMIN On10 training in Uganda during March 2008.

Rogers is and always was a very loyal and faithful student to AFMIN. He always was a labourious young man and persistent that we needed to start a AFMIN school in Uganda. After graduation in August 2007, he returned to Kampala as a good ambassador for AFMIN.  He continued to train other pastors and leaders in the On10 program, using the same material. Recently I was honoured to meet 70 church leaders from West Kampala Pastors Fellowship, where Pastor Rogers Sserwadda is the Chairman. All of these pastors are doing the AFMIN On10 basic training! God willing, we will bless them at our next meeting in Kampala and hand them a AFMIN certificate.

We encouraged them to register with the next official AFMIN Leadership Institute On10 school which starts in Kampala during September 2013. We believe that Rogers has opened up a new method of recruiting new students for the on-going AFMIN  schools. For years we lost outstanding church leaders because we thought that after four years of training, the training process  was completed.  Now we have discovered that past students want to be part of the on-going training which AFMIN provides, but they do not know how. Rogers has shown us the way – Keep on training leaders, give them a taste of what AFMIN stands for and then recommend that they register in an official AFMIN On10 program.

Rogers is the pastor of The Living Vessels Church in Kawaala  Zone 2, Kasubi parish, Rubaga Division in Kampala city in Uganda. Because of poverty he is not dependant on the church’s financial support. He has tried many means of supporting himself and his family – sometimes successfully and other times not. Recently he stepped out in faith and, with a vision to educate small children, he started an infant  school which is called “Mwesigwa Community School”.   It was our privilege to visit this school during February 2013.  We were proud to see what AFMIN has achieved in the life of one man, Rogers Sserwadda. Today he is an honoured church leader, not only in his own community, but also in the church of the city of Kampala and surrounding areas.

Just think of it, if one man who was trained by AFMIN, could influenced a community and even a city, what can thousands of AFMIN trained men do?
