TO PENTECOSTAL CHURCHES OF UGANDA Pentecostal Churches of Uganda (PCU) is a result of the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by Finnish and Norwegian missionaries in partnership with Ugandan Christians. PCU was formed in 1984 through the support of the Finnish Free Foreign Mission (Fida International) and the Norwegian Pentecostal Mission (PYM) currently known as Norwegian Pentecostal Mission (NPM). Since 1984, PCU has been working in partnership with the Norwegian Pentecostal Foreign Mission and Fida International (formerly Finnish Free Foreign Mission) with the purpose of serving the Ugandan society holistically through local churches and projects. The church has implemented health-related and other projects since the 1990\u2019s: the Mpigi Health Project (started 1990), the Rural Development Programme, the Uganda AIDS project (operational 1992-2002) which still continues as a Child Support Programme, the Capacity Building Project of the partner, and HIV\/AIDS projects, code named \u201cOpportunity in Crisis\u201d and \u201cWomen Against AIDS,\u201d and a humanitarian aid project, the first one in 1986.\u00a0 LEADERSHIP MEET THE NEC TEAM Bishop Charles Bagonza General Overseer Bishop David Rubahinda Deputy Overseer Sempijja Fred National Treasurer Pastor Vincent Mugarura General Secretary Pastor Godrey Wafula Coordinator Development Pastor John Elamu Missions Coordinator Message from the Overseer We exist to accomplish the unfinished task of our Lord Jesus Christ through worldwide evangelistic movement approach, Strategically mobilising,Sensitizing and training the body of Christ(church) to cause multiplication in Mission field, gospel approach and church planting among the unreached\/ least reached groups within and outside Uganda.
