In a bold and faith-fueled move, Apostle Grace Lubega, founder of Phaneroo Ministries International, has announced plans to construct a groundbreaking church facility worth $55 million (about Shs200 billion).
The project, still in its early stages, is poised to become one of East Africa’s most iconic places of worship—and notably, it will be built without a single loan.
Lubega revealed the vision during a recent service at the ministry’s Naguru gathering, where he told thousands of energized congregants that the future of Phaneroo lies in building a sanctuary that matches its exponential growth.
“We are planning to build a $55 million building, and I’m not borrowing,” he declared to thunderous applause.
Positioning the project as a divine assignment, Lubega said,
“I am Abraham’s son. Between now and how it will manifest, I know there’s a young man in the industry saying, ‘God, I want to give a million dollars on that.’ He doesn’t have a job, but he has the heart. That’s the one I’m looking for.”
Though specific details such as the church’s design and location remain under wraps, sources close to the ministry say the vision is grand—aiming for a landmark structure that not only accommodates thousands but also redefines religious infrastructure in the region.
Phaneroo Ministries, founded in 2014, has become a spiritual powerhouse—particularly among Uganda’s youth.
The ministry’s Thursday and Sunday services pull in large crowds both physically and online. Its teachings, often streamed across continents, have built a loyal global following.
Apostle Lubega’s teachings emphasize identity, faith, and purpose, drawing testimonies of transformation from professionals, students, and even diaspora Ugandans.
The announcement of the Shs200 billion project has further galvanized the congregation, many of whom have already pledged to give sacrificially.
The move also signals a shift in how local religious leaders approach large-scale projects—moving away from debt and into community-funded development.
Lubega’s insistence on a debt-free model reflects a message he has long preached: faith can finance the impossible.
While skeptics may question the feasibility, supporters are already rallying behind the vision. Whether it takes months or years, one thing is clear: the foundation for this massive faith-driven initiative has already been laid—in the hearts of believers.
Stay tuned. This is not just about a building. It’s about legacy, belief, and rewriting Uganda’s religious story.
