About the Founder


John McPhaill is a church-planting missionary to Africa. He currently leads his third church-plant in Mukono, Uganda, and he is engaged in regular mission trips to other parts of Uganda and East Africa at large.

John is an American identical twin, born in 1996, and saved by grace through faith in Christ at about the age of 16. He was led to Christ and baptized by a pastor of a non-denominational Bible church in the small-town of Mohave Valley, Arizona.

After years of learning and serving in that church, he moved to attend university, majoring in pre-medical studies, with plans of becoming a physician. He also began attending an independent Baptist church, with a strong desire to learn how to preach the gospel to others more effectively.

Within a couple years, he felt called to full-time ministry. He sacrificed his educational and vocational aspirations, and trained for his calling through extensive self-study. A short-term mission trip to the African country of Malawi helped him to realize that his calling was to preach the gospel in Africa. Since June of 2019, John has been serving as a full-time evangelist in Africa.

John is happily married to his favourite and most beautiful disciple, Angela, and, together with their highly favoured daughter Modest, they live in Mukono, Uganda.
