Francis' March 2025 Graduation

From aspiring accountant to dedicated pastor, my journey has been one of bold decisions, perseverance, and unwavering faith. Despite financial struggles growing up as the youngest of ten children, I remained determined to excel academically, driven by a prayer at 16 to earn a doctorate before 40—a dream fulfilled at 38. Though I initially pursued accounting, I soon realized my true calling lay in pastoral care, leading me to train for ministry and complete a Doctor of Ministry degree in Church Growth. Balancing family, work, and studies presented immense challenges, but through God's grace, I persevered. My story is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and trusting in God's perfect timing.

From a small primary school to earning my CPA certification in 2024, my academic journey has been one of perseverance, sacrifice, and unwavering faith. Inspired by my mathematician father, my passion for accounting drove me to excel, overcoming hurdles and resisting distractions to achieve my dream. With the unwavering support of my family and divine connections, I remained steadfast in my goal to help individuals and organizations navigate their financial operations with clarity. Now, as the head of finance at Hands of Love in Uganda, I look back with gratitude, knowing that through God's grace, every challenge was a stepping stone to success.
