Belief

Serwdda got converted to Born-Again Faith on Christmas Eve 1975 and joined the Full Gospel Mission during the Height Amin's reign of terror and brutal regime. He was supported by this same church in 1977 to travel to Nairobi, Kenya where he studied journalism. He then went to the Grace Baptist Bible School in Ruaraka, Thika Road, one of the suburbs of Nairobi.

Serwadda saw Jesus in an open vision when he went on a dry fast of 11 days. In the same vision he was directed to champion a street outreach ministry in Kampala.

He first came to limelight when he staged Open-Air Gospel Crusades around Kampala-City in Kiyembe, Car Park, Owino Market and Wandegeya Yard that lasted for a solid five years (1982-1988) revealing his prolific gift as an Evangelist, Christian Apologetic and Activist.

During these Open-air Crusades which he conducted with a colleague, Deo Balabyekkubo (RIP) they were confronted on many occasions by Muslim extremists also known as Tabliqhs and open debates ensued on the person of Jesus and Christian theology. Two of these occasions involved assaults on him with fire-arms. Another incident on which a hand grenade hurled at him, forty-eight people were wounded and killed six on the spot.] Serwadda was however miraculously able to walk away with minor injuries. From these meetings, he established a teaching ministry that founded the Victory Christian Center Church, one of the mega-churches in Kampala.
