Early Life and Education

Serwadda born March 8, 1954 in Kalungu central Uganda in Buganda Kingdom. He is married to Freda Serwadda and they have eight children.

He is currently working on four (books) manuscripts during his free time.

Serwadda is a former teacher by profession and had his first job at Lubaale primary school in Kabulasoke, Gomba in Mpigi district which was even his first his job where he used to shs 187 per month. He was in charge of primary seven class and it was then when he was told that if he could get 5 first grades in his class he would be promoted. He became a village hero when his class was able to get 14 first grades overnight that academic year. He studied Journalism. “I still use albeit differently, and use communication skills for doing what I do today, evangelism,” Serwadda says.

Sserwadda is the Owner and CEO of 98.4 Impact FM and Dream TV

Belief

Serwadda 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.

Politics

According to Serwadda, “Ugandans who talk that way, (that Museveni has overstayed in power) have a problem.” He adds that elections don’t decide who rules a country but God decides. They have failed to understand that it is God leading Uganda. Many think it is elections that bring people to power, no. You can bring him, and God rejects him.”

Serwadda has written numerous articles for the newspapers, held radio shows in Europe and appeared on national Television Stations in Australia, New Zealand, USA and many African nations, he also speaks on topical issues on request.

Selected Writings

Serwadda has written Inspiration books and among those include;

1. The Kind That Jesus Called Great Faith

2. Victory And What It Takes

3. How To Clean The House Without Messing It

4. Untapped Resource In Uganda's Development.
