Vanensio & Eddy Bamwitirebye
Vanensio Bamwitirebye is the pastor of Bundibugyo Community Worship Centre in the Bundibugyo district, a region on the border of Uganda and Congo. This is an area that has been devastated with problems related to HIV/AIDS and by fighting that has left many people displaced, widowed and orphaned. After training and teaching at Westminster Theological College with Emma Kiwanuka, God gave Vanensio the burden to plant a church among the displaced Bundibugyo people. He shared the vision with a number of leaders including Geoffrey, Smith, Robert, Jacob and Deo. After a time of prayer and fasting, they planted the church in 2002. God has allowed the church to minister and teach in hospitals, jails, prisons, to the nearby pygmies and to the poor and afflicted of Bundibugyo. Vanensio and his wife Eddy are raising their four young children, all of whom suffer from sickle cell, a disease that is particularly prevalent in this region of Uganda.
