The true restored Kingdom of God began in Africa when Stephen Munyora was ordained an Elder by Elder Samuel E. West. Since April 23, 2005, the kingdom has grown to over 600 true Latter Day Saints. CHILDREN'S HOME CHILDREN’S HOME Elder
Stephen’s wife, Rose, was the operator of a children’s home when he entered
the kingdom on On
“Most
of the children are orphans left after the death of parents and others are
less privileged which I am to attach a copy of the information bulletin sent to
donors. Most of the people who sponsor such homes are non governmental
organizations; others are from the publicity in the media which I have an
access.” On December
23, Rose wrote, “I would also like to let you know that yesterday we
succeeded in having all done concerning my children's home. I believe Stephen

a possibility to get in touch with some church members there in the I answered James and he responded,
“I was so glad to hear from you and most delighted with the news that there
are other groups of the original LDS church here in “Please
Elder West, thank you for all your possible help to see that I receive baptism
including my whole group and above all my wife who was at first also in the Utah
Mormon church. We got married immediately after serving as full time
missionaries for the above church and I testify to you that it was God's divine
plan for us to decide to change our path to eternity by being willing to follow
the teachings of the original LDS church leaving all the friends we have been
associating with in our previous faith before seeing the light. It is our great
hope and faith that our merciful father in heaven may provide any quick possible
way for us to be part of His true restored church. All along I have been
searching the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon including Doctrine and
Covenants ( I wrote to Stephen and advised him
concerning those in “The greatest duty we owe to
ourselves and our families in this mortal life is to know God, understand His
will, and secure our salvation in eternity. We all lived together as spirits
before living in this mortal flesh. Our works during this first estate

very glad to hear from you. Please, warm regards from the other group members.
We are really grateful and most delighted to know that what we have been
prayerfully yearning for a long time has been granted unto us by our loving
father in heaven. What a great
opportunity and blessing we have to join the Lord's true church through baptism
and confirmation! The Holy Ghost manifests and confirms to me that I have
wisely chosen the right path after many years of being spiritually blinded by
men's precepts. I am so grateful
that I have seen the light! That is why I had a strong desire to share this true
restored gospel with other interested people and I don't regret the decision I
have made and I don't have to boast but to praise and give glory to the Father
of our spirits who is always merciful and kind to His faithful children. And I
truly believe that there is opposition in all things; but what we have to do is
to take the right regardless of Satan's influence in opposing the Lord's
great plan of happiness to all those who accepted to follow Jesus Christ during
the pre-mortal council with our Father in heaven before our mortal life here on
earth. “Well,
I am grateful for Elder Samuel E. West's great teachings and his words of
exaltation so that all those with a broken heart and contrite spirit may repent
of their sins, be baptized and receive the holy ghost as they join the Lord's
true restored church with true priesthood used in performing ordinances
pertaining to our salvation and exaltation. May our merciful father in heaven
bless him in his divine work of gathering the faithful from this corrupt world
as we await for the Lord's second coming. “Please
Elder Munyora, thank you for the great work you are doing in serving the Lord. I
know that there is no greater call than that you are fulfilling in seeing that
true restored gospel is preached in this part of the world and we
look forward to warmly receiving with you here in “Regarding

James opened a branch near On November
17, James wrote to me, “Since I joined this church I can come on
counting various places I
encountered with God and still have a good record that has comforted me in
this field of battle. Isaiah prophesied of young men becoming weary and faint
but he said to them that wait upon the Lord He will renew their strength.
They will climb up like eagles and run like deer and they will never
faint. I now need to apply a lot of faith towards that because I need it to
continue. But all the same nothing can separate me from the Love of God, neither
the present, or the future.” Elder
James in On November

tell mum that I enjoy her text messages. Allen also sends her warm regards to
you and we are so glad that Bill is in good condition now after recovering from
Malaria fever. Please, dad and mum we greatly appreciate all your love and care.
It was such a wonderful church service we had last Sabbath and the attendance
was good (68) and among those in attendance was a friend of mine by the name of Samuel Muzaale. “Please
dad, I truly believe that this is the Lord's work and the Holy Priesthood I
now hold is real! “Dad, thank
you for having delivered me from the usurpers and now I know their dirty
tricks. Also I have great faith that I will be able to withstand the Brighamites

wonderful messages from you. Please, thank you. My younger brother Samuel and I

different areas preaching the true restored gospel. On November
26, he wrote, “Please, mum and dad, the good news I have for you is that
we have had a wonderful church service. The attendance was 68. Also I am so
thrilled to text you that my former Brighamite church companion, Samuel
Muzaale, is going to get baptized
in two hours time from now!! What a great blessing.” “Dear
mum and dad it is a great blessing for us
to have another Elder, Samuel Muzaale being called of God to preach the true
restored gospel in Kapala and I’m greatly honored to hold the true holy
Melchisedec Priesthood of God and also having a privilege of confirming the true
priesthood powers to others. I know that two more branches will be opened up in Kapala and Mukono District.” On November
29, James wrote, “Please, thank you for the wonderful, inspiring church
doctrinal messages. I am learning a lot in addition to the great knowledge I'm
getting from the first two books you sent me. I am also very grateful that my
young family is greatly blessed since Allen and I became converted to the true
restored church. In fact the Brighamites
are misleading many souls but I have great faith that I will rescue some of
the spiritually blinded souls unto this marvelous light with God's help. Please
dad, I want to let you know that several Brighamites have tried to persuade me
go back to their false doctrines because they know that there
several people who will leave their church after getting to know about the true
restored gospel teachings I'm spreading here in Uganda. I
am now very aware of their dirty tricks and I truly know that Prophet James
J. Strang was the true successor (not Brigham Young) after the martyrdom of
Prophet Joseph Smith. Please dad, I lack words to describe my sincere
appreciation for your great efforts to show me the truth regarding the true
restored church. May our merciful Father bless you and mum in all ways. I
promise to sacrifice every thing I have to build the Lord's Kingdom here in On December
2, James wrote, “There will be some baptisms on the 17th this
month (22 people, 13 staying at Kapala and 9 staying at Mukono).” On December
11, he wrote, “Please mum and dad, I have just received an urgent phone
call from a friend of mine (a Brighamite sister turned missionary) who lives at
Mukono. I had already shared with her regarding this marvelous true restored
gospel and she seems interested in having what she termed as ‘new restored
gospel doctrine.’ She said that she has been having trouble with sleepless
nights and that I have to travel there this evening so that I may know her final
conclusion regarding baptism.” “Please
I am already in Irene’s home. She stays with her brother called Michael, also
a returned missionary. Both served in “Please
mum and dad I am through with Sister Irene. The wonderful news I have for you is
that Irene has at last accepted baptism!!
What a great blessing!! We have already had a closing prayer and I am now on my
way to meet another friend of mine called John also living in Mukono. He is
among those to get baptized this coming Sabbath, 17th.” “They
[Brighamites] are trying to persuade Allen and me to go back to their false
doctrines; but we are very firm and we can't be deviated from this marvelous
true restored gospel we have already received. My faith is becoming stronger and
stronger each day and I prayerfully find several ways of expanding this true
restored church and please dad, I greatly appreciate all your possible support
for the progress of the church here in On December

the upcoming events of 17th and 18th; and I have planned to travel to Mukono
district to brief those ready for baptism and after that I have to do the same
to those living in Kampala with Elder Samuel Muzaale and all will be
traveling to come and have a holy convocation with us and then baptisms and
other ordinances will be performed with the help of Elders Samuel Mukisa, my
younger brother, and Elder Samuel Muzaale proselyting in Kampala. My goal is to
setup two additional branches ( On December 17, he wrote, “We are through
with baptisms and are traveling back for the confirmation of twenty-three people; and I am being assisted by
Elders Samuel Mukisa, my younger brother, and Samuel Muzaale. Love Elder James,
your son.” On December
19, James wrote, “Allen and I are so grateful for this True Restored
Gospel revealed to us by our merciful heavenly Father and above all for having
paved a way for us to escape the man made Brighamite false doctrines. We
strongly believe that all this had been for-planned by God for a very special
divine purpose. Please, dad and mum, we greatly appreciate all your possible
support in order for the Lord's Kingdom to expand here in “Well,
for the past two days (17th and 18th), the Lord has been with us regardless of
Satan's fiery darts to disrupt the Lord's work; and 23 people were baptized and
confirmed with the help of Elders Samuel Mukisa and Samuel Muzaale. Then
yesterday on the 18th, we had a marvelous branch social/Church Literature
display and the attendance was beyond our expectations! We had expected to have
approx. 150 people but amazingly 176
people turned up during the Branch Social and that signified that such an
event if well planned in other areas like Kampala and Mukono could enable us
have more people in our Gospel teaching pool.” On December
21, he wrote, “Please mum and dad I have a plan to have a get together wholesome
party for the young kids on the 25th December (not celebrating
Xmas, because it is a pagan festival and not part of the Lord’s true restored
gospel); but to make these young kids not feel bored seeing their fellow kids
celebrating and having fun on the pagan Xmas day. Please, I request you to
advise me on this matter. Thank you; love Elder James your son. Please the adult
now understand why celebrating Xmas is a false man made pagan practice.” On December
29, James was afflicted by cerebral
malaria—generally a fatal decease. He
wrote, “Yes mum and dad I am almost in a coma. Other Elders
administered to me and anointed me with oil.
I can’t let them take me to the hospital without your consent. [I text

lack air time. Satan can’t win this game. Allen and Bill are also frightened.
Some say it may be cerebral malaria. I cannot continue in this mess.” “Giving
additional priesthood blessing and I am already admitted to one of hospitals
here at Kajjansi. Our small family business is at a stand still.” “I
am currently put on a water drip here at Kajjansi while at hospital and
receiving some injections. My younger brother Elder Samuel has administered to
me.” On “Dear mum and dad, I am still
admitted in the whole of last evening. I was almost unconscious and I couldn’t
walk.” “I give all my thanks and praise
to our loving and merciful heavenly Father to let me accomplish this divine work
whenever He would want me to labor in His vineyard. I am not dead. The
Almighty still needs me in mortality. This sacred holy Melchisedec
Priesthood is indescribable regarding its reality.” “Please, mum and dad, I am going
through what I may term as a gradual recovery. I am truly witnessed what I call
steep edges of death. I have never experienced that before. My fellow saints
walked long distance to come and visit me in the hospital and I saw tears in
their eyes flowing down their cheeks. I am so thrilled to regain the eating
appetite unlike the past days. Please
mum and dad, I am feeling better now and I am still at the hospital. Please mum
and dad, Allen and Bill have also just arrived to see my health condition.” On January 2, James was released
from the hospital. “Now Allen and Bill are leaving the hospital back home
before it gets late and they are going to hire a taxi. It is not far to reach
our apartment. My younger brother Samuel has also just arrived to nurse me where
needed in addition to the doctor’s medical treatment.” On January 4, he wrote, “I am regained strength now and Allen has to
prepare a big meal to satisfy me (I can now consume a meal meant for two
people). So that sounds interesting. I have also resumed missionary work
straight away and I am very much aware that the adversary and his servants are
not well pleased with what I am currently doing here in On January 5, he wrote, “Last evening I reported back to the hospital
as I had been told by the doctor to check my current health situation. I
was advised by the doctor to have bed rest for a couple of weeks while
taking extra fluids. I was also prompted by the Spirit to share this true
restored gospel with some of the medical staff at the hospital including the
doctor himself; and I am so glad to tell you that he accepted some church
literature and told me that he needs me to visit his family some day after a two

we finalize with our preparation to shift permanently to Mukono on 5th Feb.,

to permanently shift there including our family business. There are several
saints, newly baptized living in Mukono who currently lack an Elder to minister
and strengthen them. The Brighamites also have a church there and so it is my
obligation to be as a watch tower to see that the Brighamites don't attempt to
disrupt the newly baptized saints in Mukono. “My younger brother, Elder

nearby hospital today for a medical
checkup. I was advised by the doctor to avoid excessive heat exposure from
the sun which I have all along doing during my missionary labors, knocking from
door to door. What I have to do is to purchase a mountain bike with a helmet to cover my head. I left the other bike
with my younger brother Elder Samuel Mukisa and his assistant Elder Frank
Bisasso. The doctor has also advised me to take a lot of fluids in order to
avoid dehydration as I move during my missionary labor.” On March 21, he wrote, “I am still a bit
due to the mild fever I developed and I have got some treatment from a
nearby hospital. The doctor has advised me not to move too much in the hot
sunshine instead use easy means of transport and so I have also planned to
purchase a mountain bike for Mukono missionary work. God bless you.” On March
