A Humble Beginning
Pastor Namaga J. Robert Wanjala’s journey is a testament to faith, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to serving God and humanity. Born on July 2, 1984, in Kapenguria, Kenya, to a Ugandan mother and Kenyan father, his early years were marked by hardship. At the tender age of three, he was taken to Bumulegi Sub County, Sironko District, Uganda, where he was raised by his grandmother. His upbringing was not without challenges, but these formative years instilled in him a deep sense of faith and perseverance.
Despite struggling academically and facing personal battles, including a period of alcoholism, Namaga’s life took a dramatic turn when Bishop Mabusu Emanuel guided him back to his educational journey and spiritual path. Completing his studies in Mbale District, Uganda, was a crucial step in his transformation, paving the way for his future mission.
Answering the Call to Ministry
In 2011, Pastor Namaga was called to serve in Kenya, spending 13 years in Mombasa working as a pastor under the Free Pentecostal Church. His time in Mombasa allowed him to build strong connections with his community, ministering to those in need and offering both spiritual and practical support. During this period, he also engaged in small-scale farming, which would later play a role in his broader vision of community transformation.
His heart for service extended beyond the church walls, as he continuously sought ways to uplift the most vulnerable in society. It was this passion that eventually led to the foundation of DeLeon’s Ministries and Victory School.
The Birth of DeLeon’s Ministries and Victory School
During a 2021 visit to his mother in Lwakhakha, Uganda, Pastor Namaga received a divine revelation—he felt a strong calling to establish a school for underprivileged children. Recognizing the dire need for education, nourishment, and hope, he partnered with Pastor Juaquin DeLeon in the USA, and together they laid the groundwork for DeLeon’s Victory School in 2022.
Starting with humble resources, the school initially served a handful of children, offering them basic education and meals. The mission was simple but profound: to provide access to quality education and a brighter future for children who otherwise had little hope. Over time, the school grew, and as of today, 76 children benefit from this initiative.
The Growth and Impact of DeLeon’s Ministries
DeLeon’s Ministries expanded beyond the school, encompassing community outreach, empowerment programs, and spiritual guidance. Through partnerships with local and international organizations, the ministry has continued to grow, offering:
- Educational support for children in need
- Food programs to combat hunger and malnutrition
- Spiritual mentorship and guidance for the youth
- Small-scale farming initiatives to promote sustainability
- Collaborations with civic and religious organizations to enhance community self-sufficiency
Pastor Namaga’s vision for DeLeon’s Ministries is rooted in faith, education, and empowerment. His dream is to transform communities by expanding access to healthcare, affordable housing, and modern agricultural techniques.
A Vision for the Future
Pastor Namaga’s dedication remains unwavering. His long-term goal is to establish more educational centers, increase community outreach programs, and foster self-sufficiency among disadvantaged populations. Through the continued support of partners and donors, DeLeon’s Ministries and Victory School will continue to flourish, touching even more lives across Uganda, Kenya, and beyond.
His journey, from a struggling youth to a beacon of hope for many, is an inspiration to all. Pastor Namaga’s story is a powerful reminder that faith, perseverance, and a heart for service can truly change the world—one child, one community, and one mission at a time.
