Anna
Hello my name is Anna; I am a Ugandan Female Law Graduate.
I always thought my purpose had something to do with music because I love music and fortunately are talented in it too, so I did everything musical like joining every choir for each church I attended but still felt like something was missing. Knowing my purpose was very important to me because, I know that I was created to do more. So having learnt through Trace that my purpose was to help Children born with disabilities (CBDs) to realize their potential is such a blessing. Trace helped me understand that just because CBDs are a minority group doesn’t mean they are. Because, to God they are His heart.
You may be wondering what’s different here, well, in all the work done, love shall precede all else and I know that with love you can’t go wrong.
Derrick
Hello, I am Derrick. Before discovering my purpose, I was trapped in the endless routine of a 9–5 job, working tirelessly for money that never fulfilled me. I spent sleepless nights chasing wealth yet felt empty and without peace or direction.
Everything changed when I was given the opportunity to take the TraCE course. Through it, I learned that life is not about self-gratification but about fulfilling God’s purpose. This revelation transformed my mindset from being self-centred to Christ-centered.
As I grew in my relationship with the Holy Spirit, He opened my eyes to a group often overlooked in society—domestic workers. I realized these individuals play vital roles in homes and communities yet are frequently undervalued.
With the guidance of Trace, my team and I founded Ahava Domestic Services, a project that empowers domestic workers through training and job placement, promotes fair pay, and fosters community transformation by restoring dignity, inclusion, and voice in society.
Elvis
School project draft
My name is Elvis.
Before I got to know my purpose, I lived in fear and uncertainty, hopping from one petty job to another. And having spent most of my life in Christian settings, I believed that my purpose in life was only to preach the gospel. But when I came to know and participate in the TRACE leadership training program, my life changed.
I got to know my purpose and began to practice servant leadership in my home, family and community.
With further training and support from TRACE, I am working toward solving the lack of kingdom of God identity building in current formal education curriculums through developing new fear-of-God based curriculum.
My approach to solving this problem is to rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit to create and provide alternative kingdom of God formal education solutions in Uganda.
Faith
My name is Faith, I was ambitious, energetic and willing to try out every opportunity in the world to live to the fullest of my capacity in business, arts, leadership, social service, serving in church among others but was never fulfilled. All my efforts to understand the meaning of this life was in vain till I received my God-given purpose through Trace.
Having a Christ mind, basing all life decisions on the will of God and being intimate with the Holy Spirit has answered a lot of questions I, my family and those around me had.
My assignment is to bring on board the unutilized potential of women in poor and vulnerable households by empowering them and transmitting hope.
I am so certain that the sole fulfillment and success of this project depends on the Holy Spirit as the strategic leader thus having a positive impactful transformation of the society.
Bright
My name is Bright, leader in TraCE, and a project lead for KoG IEC material development.
Before I got to know my purpose, I was a student at University, studying to become a teacher, not because I wanted it, but for a profession, and never fulfilled. I hopped to different assemblies of believers but never felt fulfilled. But when I came to know of TraCE, my life changed.
Through the courses on transformational leadership, by TraCE, I got to know my purpose, which required transformation of self in order to be able to transform others. This has shaped what I listen to, watch, and people that surround me.
My assignment focuses on the development of IEC materials that disseminate the KoG gospel in hard-to-reach communities. By cultivating an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit to guide me on the “what” and “how” of this program is my uniqueness.
Kenneth
My name is Kenneth,
a creative from Trace.
Over the years, I’ve developed a passion for storytelling and a deep desire to tell God’s stories through music and film. For a long time, the vision felt unclear until I joined the Transformation Centre of Excellence, where I discovered my true calling “the Creative Mountain.” I realized that creativity is a powerful tool to influence and shape culture. The secular world has long defined the stories we tell, the music we listen to, and the way we entertain. These narratives shape our children, our values, and our society. We are now building a movement of creative transformational agents called to shift the narrative. Through God inspired storytelling in music, film, and creative entertainment, we aim to expand the Kingdom of God, influence culture, and transform society for His glory.
Jonathan
A City Within a City
My name is Jonathan, a teacher in the church of Christ. Before I joined TRACE, my life was meaningless and I was uncertain about what to make of it. I thought my purpose was in showcasing my talents and skills but I was living in dissatisfaction. TRACE introduced me to transformation leadership courses and trainings which have offered me direction about my calling and assignment. I’m experiencing daily transformation in my life and my family especially my children have been able to see and identify with the changes in my life.
Through TRACE strategic guidance, I embarked on addressing marginalization of the poor and exploitation of workers in cities as a common phenomenon that breeds many socioeconomic challenges. “A City Within a City” project aims at spearheading and championing better quality of livelihoods in cities to facilitate transformed households and identifiable neighborhoods in urban communities/societies.
Julian
My name is Julian
Before I got to know my purpose, I was ready to do any decent job as long as it could give me a good pay, but when I joined TraCE, I released that I was born for a particular purpose that was beyond my selfish desires. I also got to know that God the creator wants to be involved in our lives and has a solution for any problem we are faced with in our communities.
I was led to solve the problem of identity crisis which has been fuelled by brokenness in families pushing children to spend time on their gadgets instead of spending time with their parents and God. By the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the mentorship of TraCE, I have managed to create kingdom of God materials like games for children as an alternative to help shape their character through play.
Juliet
I am Juliet a retired teacher who earned so little which left me always struggling. I later opted to doing business hoped from one business to another, one dry patched land to another without results yet my dream was to help orphans
For long l used my little income to give them handouts and food to help a few families which could not even sustain one family for a week.
It was not until, l was introduced to Trace, where l got to know my purpose and to know that l needed to have the holy spirit to guide me in fulfilling my purpose which is to help the destitute who the world doesn’t appreciate. Trace taught me the heart of God that believes in inclusivity, diversity and equity which widened my vision.
Destitute don’t need only handouts but a holistic approach from a Collaboration with other spheres to benefit both of us. We also began a movement for everyone to contribute, “Clean the house.” what you don’t need can help a brother
Shaka
Holiday Mobile Program
Hello, Shaka here.
Working on a Holiday mobile program for children’s alternative to formal child programs intended to address the Lack of innovative non-formal & informal programs to promote Kingdom of God identity among children by closing gaps in the non-holistic formal Education giving rise to new breed of children leaders in Africa who are grounded in God.
Workers of iniquity is not limited to evil people who practice sinful, immoral, and unrighteous behaviour, defying God, it includes morally upright good serving ministers who are ignorant of their God appointed purposes. This man was me then, and this man maybe you today.
Attending TraCE courses and the Kingdom of God gospel message I died to my old religious views and many things that are not sinful yet continue to prevent men from a life of greater fullness of the Holy Spirit and full cooperation with God.
Edward
Growing up, my worldview was determined by my immediate family.
I firstly wanted to be a pilot, then lawyer, then doctor, then a politician and then bishop, and the list goes on, why? – to please my parents.
I did a course in university that I never liked, but was the best at it even in class but cut short my study after year 1 simply because I had lost the zeal, I went into another course and university and excelled highly with a first-class degree simply because I just had to graduate.
I did all kinds of all kinds of businesses and failed and nearly committed suicide out of depression until I came to Trace, found Jesus, found my purpose, and felt the void in my life finally filled.
Today, am helping youth find their purpose and have an intimate relationship with the Holy spirit
