Serving, Changing and Transforming
In the Beginning ......
When the Apostolic Church Uganda, a Pentecostal affiliate of the Apostolic Church Nigeria unfairly dismissed Pastor Geoffrey Okot in April 2016, he decided to move back to Northern Uganda his home town; a land that was ravaged by over two decades of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) atrocities of displacement, kidnaps, mutilations and killings
Arriving in Koch Goma with his wife, he joined Christ Revival Outreach Ministries and served as a bible instructor for three years with the hope of returning to the Apostolic Church Uganda. During his time with Christ Revival Outreach Ministries, he made his intention of establishing Thou Art The Christ as a center of spiritual excellence for Africa known. Local pastors, believers and friends pledged to support his vision
Meanwhile from home, his family rejected his vision and demanded that his immediate return to the teaching profession which he refused. To buy more time, he began to carryout agriculture as a mean of livelihood, growing different crops like Papaya, Green Peppers, Cabbages, Bananas and keeping of animals while serious prayers were being made for God to make a way. In 2017, God opened a door and elevated him from an ordinary farmer to the position of the national President of the Young Farmers Federation of Uganda (UNYFA), a position that exposed him to national and international platforms. This position helped him to understand organizational structural setup and formation that was used to establish Thou Art The Christ step by step
Community Outreach
2016-2019
On 06th October 2019, having completed all the necessary documentation and legal framework, the ministry was officially launched in the presence of the Chairman Local Council III of Koch Goma Town Council, Hon Okullu John Bosco, the Chairman National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches of Nwoya district Rev Okumu Morris Christopher, Christ Revival Ourtrach Minstries and the community where it started it normal operation in a rental premises at Vilanova Business Park
The same year, he started Discipleship Programs at Skyland Academy Secondary School, Market Evangelism at Koch Goma Market and Hospital Visitations at Koch Goma Health Centre IV, proclaiming the Gospel of Christ and making disciples. Consequently, many people started gathering at his family home for spiritual counseling, bringing the sick and demon possessed for prayers and deliverance
By the end of 2017, the gathering had grown and transformed itself into a meaningful home fellowship. In February 2018, the Lord being pleased with the efforts of Pastor Geoffrey Okot and his wife provided a monthly financial support through His Daughter’s Meekness, a Christian ministry focused on trauma recovery, self-care and spiritual growth. This financial support though small supported the establishment of the foundational and legal framework of Thou Art The Christ like ministry registration
During the 2020 Covid 19 Pandemic, the ministry acquired two acres of land in Hima Store, of Koch Goma Town Council, Nwoya District of Northern Uganda where it is operating from currently to the Glory of God
