John Mugowa has known the Noblins since they came to Uganda as missionaries. In 2009 he was awarded a scholarship to Uganda Christian University by The Rock Outreach, then his last year was Scholarship Coordinator for The Rock. From the time he lived in an orphanage started by Africa Renewal Ministries he has had a passion for teaching the Bible to children and nurturing families. Throughout secondary school John created and sold note cards to help him with his expenses.
His creativity, initiative and leadership is evident in the ministry he founded Develop A Child Africa, his own IT company MAGS Computer
Consulting and Video Production, and his career as IT Administrator for Africa Renewal Ministries. Being a role model in the culture gives hope and also illustrates to young children the plan and future God has for us. John's ministry provides sewing and music lessons, and basic computer training. In his grandmother's village he has started a piggery and is encouraging other agricultural businesses to support the widows and orphans.
