Ahead of celebrations to mark seven (7) years of Phaneroo Ministries International, a popular Canadian television station has made changes in its programming lineup to start broadcasting sermons by Apostle Grace Lubega.
Faith TV, owned and operated by ZoomerMedia Limited, presents the most popular and inspirational programs from various influential Christian televangelists including Joyce Meyer, Steven Furtick, Dr. Charles Stanley, Dr David Jeremiah, James Robison, and from shows like Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural, 700 Club US and 700 Club Canada among others.
The television station is currently available on digital cable in approximately 6 million Canadian families for whom access to “faith at home” is increasingly important as they age.
Faith TV can be watched nationally on Bell 591 / Bell Fibe 1244, throughout Alberta & BC on Telus Optik 875 or Telus Satellite 591, throughout Manitoba on Shaw 11 / MTS 1011 and throughout Ontario and New Brunswick on Rogers 174 / Ignite 225.
Apostle Lubega’s teachings will air every Sunday, at 7:30 AM, according to the ministry.
The development comes as the ministry continues to proclaim the Gospel through the production and broadcasting of TV programmes, supported by other electronic media, social networks and community initiatives.
The ministry recently launched on TBN Africa, GOD TV, which is watched via ViewSat covering 20 million homes across Sub-Saharan Africa on the IS20 satellite, Calvary TV in India, BTN in Rwanda and BETV in Burundi.
Locally, the ministry took up slots on Urban TV and LightHouse TV.
Anniversary Celebrations: ‘Eight symbolizes a new beginning’
As Phaneroo virtually celebrates its seventh anniversary, entering into its 8th year on the 7th August 2021, the ministry leadership said in a statement sent to Uganda Christian News that they believe God has a covenant with Uganda, and it’s “His doing that we see a generation of men and women hungry for His Word.”
In just under three years, the ministry changed venue four times to accommodate the exponential growth in congregant numbers.
The inaugural service, at the Theatre Labonita, couldn’t accommodate actual attendance on the day—over one thousand people crammed into the venue with several hundreds in the overflow. The MTN arena and UMA multi-purpose halls were not any different hence the move to an open-air fellowship at the UMA upper grounds where average attendance was ten thousand persons.
This unprecedented growth, according to Apostle Grace, can only be attributed “to the move of God.”
The leadership urged in the statement that not only should the body of Christ “look at the pace-setting accomplishments of the ministry to believe God is at the heart of this movement,” but also “position ourselves for His next move.”
“At Phaneroo we believe in the integrity of the Word of God and as such we labour to raise the holistic Christian—distinctive in the knowledge and wisdom of God and by extension, ably demonstrative of His power,” Apostle Grace Lubega is quoted as saying.
“We believe God has a covenant with this country and it’s His doing that we see a generation of men and women hungry for His Word.”
“God is very deliberate and purposeful in His work and timing. It is therefore not coincidental that the inaugural Phaneroo service was held on the 7th August (2014). In biblical numerology, the numbers seven and eight carry particular spiritual significance—seven is the number of completeness and perfection while eight signifies a new beginning,” the statement reads.
