Esther Magezi’s BIO
 

Born in 1978, in Mubugando, a small village of Butuku region in western Uganda.  My father died
when I was very young. My mother worked hard to feed and care for us, raising her nine children
without help. Because of the poverty we faced, I could not attend school.
 
In 1992, at the age of 14, I went to take care of my married sister who was suffering from HIV (now
deceased). When I arrived at their home, her husband shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with me,
and I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior that very day.
 
Much happened to me over the next 14 years: While in Fort Portal, a family member attempted to
prostitute me for financial gain. Shortly thereafter, my sister died. After her death, I returned home but when I entered our humble house, the Lord told me, “Leave this house and go stay at the church.” 
There were no rooms there, so I slept on the floor without a mattress or any covering.  The church
had no doors or windows. I often went days without food until the Lord touched someone to bring me nourishment.  While living at the church, I would walk to neighboring villages - sometimes 10-15 miles away - to share the Gospel with those who had not yet heard it. During this time, prayer and fasting were major in my life.
 
In 2008, a widowed pastor from World Vision came to preach at the church. He was a humble man of God, who understood and preached the Word with wisdom. He was not only very handsome, but he was educated and also knew how to speak English. He taught me about spiritual warfare. I prayedm earnestly for deliverance. Separately, God spoke to us to get married. In 2009, I was married to Arthur Magezi and we began a new journey in Christ together.
 
With marriage came the blessing of motherhood. Arthur had children, and I took on the honor and
privilege of becoming their mama. Many more were brought into our family one by one. Today, we are parents to 12 children and grandparents to four, with many more to come.
 
My journey has shaped who I am, how I teach, and how I care for others. I am deeply passionate
about the well-being of women and widows in our country. I opened a store to raise money for their
needs. Additionally, I implemented training for women so they are able to teach one another life skills such as raising goats, sewing, soap making, and hairstyling. I am currently working towards
establishing a program to help women get an education and become self-sufficient.  
 
My story is one of grace found in my Lord and Savior that has taken me from a multitude of
adolescent hardships to a powerful transforming relationship with Jesus Christ. Today, with delight, I
am fulfilling God’s calling on my life, as Women’s Director, Christ Transformation Ministries
(CTMAfrica.org).
 
I live by the words found in 1 Samuel 3:9: “And it shall be that if He calls you, that you must say,
“Speak Lord, for Your servant hears.” I look forward with hopeful expectation for the next chapter of
this little life of mine.
