My name is Kiggala Zion Mark.

I’m grateful for having been one out of so many chosen to attend the Metamorphic Bootcamp in September 2021 here in Uganda. This training helped change my mind and attitude about God and people. I have a fresh new knowledge about God, myself, and people.

The training about cave and kingdom, helped me see my community differently and that I should arise and become the leader in my community that God designed me to be. Firstly, to love my community and help it in its development.

Metamorphic helped see that development isn’t about buildings and infrastructure but that it’s all about people and removing limitations off their lives, which will result in projects being initiated by the community itself.

I learnt that relief produces dependence on another person and should only be used in catastrophic times and then quickly transition into a development program. Relief should be temporal, whereas development produces lasting results.

I realised that I could engage in business as a pastor, which will benefit my family and community. And it’s the same business which will help me be in contact with my community members.

I’d like to thank Metamorphic again for loving and teaching us life changing lessons and showing us that God has a clear plan for our community, a plan to prosper, a plan of transformation. As I go back to my community, I’m going to be the leader my community is lacking. I now have a plan to engage and help develop my community. I also have a clear plan for my business and how I can use that to assist others to develop their business skills. And of course, I have a plan to grow a great church that is a blessing to everyone, no matter what their background.

I see a very different future for our community as we break the poverty cycle together and build the self-esteem of our whole community.

Just as my thinking has been transformed – transformation will be our testimony as a community.
