Fresh details reveal the inner workings of Ugandan pastors’ ministries, sparking public interest.
Journalist Blanshe Musinguzi uncovered key information about Prophet Elvis Mbonye’s Zoe Fellowship, registered as a company in 2007.
According to Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) records, Mbonye and Lorna Katusiime serve as directors, with Katusiime acting as administrator.
Musinguzi’s findings show Zoe Fellowship began with four directors in 2007, but by 2020, only Mbonye and Katusiime remained.

The ministry’s 2022 objectives include spreading the gospel, aiding needy children, and producing religious education materials.
However, URSB documents reveal Zoe lacks a bank account, as it never filed a resolution required to open one.
“Where do they keep the money?” Musinguzi asked.
Mbonye joins two other pastors whose ministry registrations surfaced recently.
On May 14, 2025, details emerged about Pastor Aloysious Bujjingo’s House of Prayer Ministries International.
Registered as a company limited by guarantee, it now has three directors: Bujjingo, Edward Kayizzi Luyimbazi, and Immaculate Babirye.
Bujjingo and Kayizzi are pastors, while Babirye is a businesswoman.
On January 20, 2022, the ministry removed three directors, including Bujjingo’s ex-wife, Teddy Naluswa, reducing the board from six.
Apostle Grace Lubega’s Phaneroo Ministries International also faced scrutiny. URSB documents disclosed that Phaneroo, founded on September 16, 2014, secured loans worth Shs18.5 billion.
Lubega recently unveiled plans for a $55 million (Shs200 billion) complex without a fundraiser.
Phaneroo dismissed these reports as “misleading” and “defamation attacks,” urging members to remain united.
