FEM-I

Our History

Welcome to Favored Evangelistic Ministries International (FEM-I), a global ministry committed to spreading love and hope in a world that often feels hopeless and broken. Founded in the impoverished villages of western Uganda, FEM-I has grown into an international blessing, touching lives through the grace upon grace that accompanies its journey.

Originating from the heart of a young boy, Pastor Lamech Natukwatsa, who was driven from his home for accepting Jesus Christ, FEM-I began with house-to-house evangelism, fervent prayers, and humble night prayer sessions. Despite facing adversity, Pr Lamech’s commitment led to the organization of simple crusades with drums along the roads, attracting followers and resulting in the establishment of fellowships and churches nationwide.

The early days saw the ministry relying on various means of transportation, from walking to bicycles, then progressing to small cars, and eventually, by the grace of God, acquiring a car. The journey involved not only spreading the gospel across Uganda but also venturing internationally, with the ministry now conducting online services to reach a global audience.

In 2022, Pr Lamech Natukwatsa was ordained as the Bishop of Born Again Faith, Mbarara District, solidifying the ministry’s impact. FEM-I has expanded its reach with over 80 branch churches, including branches in Tanzania, Nairobi, Mombasa (Kenya), and even a Fellowship in Sweden.

The ministry remains committed to its core mission, conducting massive crusades with over 5000 attendees in different parts of the country. Additionally, FEM-I reaches a global audience
through online services on platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Google Meet, and Zoom.
