My Name is Nyanzi Walakira Ronald (social accounts I use Nyanzi Emmy Ronnie). I am an orphan lost both parents in 1995(mother), 1996(father) to AIDS, I was taken up by a Step "Special" Mother, I call her Special because I can speak boldly that she loved me more than her own sons, she was a single mother who looked after the four of us (sons) . But she passed away in 2006 while I was watching.

The family I come from is a family of servants of God, some of these servants is Lord Sentamu in London who was once An Archbishop , another is Bishop Makumbi David in Boston, and Pastor Robert Kayanja of Miracle Center Cathedral.

I have three sisters and one brother, two sisters we share the same parents and the other two brother and sister separate mother and father. My big sister same parents is a Reverend and I serve under the same ministry.

I didn't grow up with my biological sisters , though my special mother had my brother, now after her death in 2006 , things changed, you may say I come from a well known Family but trust me it's not the case, everything change and it was time to look out for myself.

After school I joined my sister to serve God in 2008, because ministry had just started, up to now it is where I serve from though in Children's Church.

My passion and love gree deep for Children and God has helped grow more in this ministry, I don't regret, so because I have worked with children for years, I know their struggles, I decided to start helping out , with little things like clothes, shoes, we would collect them and Share, and in the community I would organize community clean ups, like trenches, Water collections, which were successful.

I also decided to do sports competitions because I had a chance to be trained by Scripture Union in 2013 and the training was how we would use sports to bring the youths, young and old to church , five years down the road I organized these activities where the winner would go home with A goat, soccer jerseys, and medals, I would bring teams from different communities and it was awesome. Sometimes I organized sports day where we did all kinds of sports and I had a gift for the winner which was only known to me, I would wrapped a fresh Jackfruit and people would spend whole competing not knowing the prize was just $1. But it brought togetherness. You would find people of all ages, beliefs.

It help me gain trust in my community and the neighborhood , whereby in 2020 I was elected the Youth Chairperson running up to 2026 and I can tell right now they want me to become their Community Councilor come 2026.

Because my passion is Preaching I have managed to bring youths young and old to our church and I don't have enemies within the community because everyone is my friend, I settle misunderstandings even with the executive that run our community, I work hand in hand with Police officers, Mayors, Councilors, probation Officers etc, I have kept my reputation clean and this is because I live to Serve and exalt God.

I have done Schools Outreaches, community service, within my community and outside, I have had a chance to be invited in different meetings , I preach in schools, different church, and do personal counseling yo youths and I give glory to God that I have witnessed His hand working .

Through Church I have managed to help families, young mothers and young fathers, youths, I have helped Connect lost kids to their homes, and in the Pandemic we reached out to more than 200 families. With food stuffs, clothes, basic needs and more.

At the end of the year Primary Seven Children do their finals and yes this year on 7th November they will be doing their finals, so I collect Mathematical Sets, Erasers, Rulers and give them so to be able to complete their finals, I do this because I was once given one when I was doing my final in primary seven , I felt good , I have never seen that person again but that seed was deeply sowed into me. And in 2017 I gave a young girl a Mathematical Set and she looked for me after three years later with money that could buy two sets( Proverbs 22 6).

I pray to God to help buy land where I can put up Children's church, a school a play ground where young, youths and old can come over and relax, I know how these things that are taken for granted do in lives of people.

During the Pandemic the country was in total lockdown, and within our community domestic violence was on a rise , so I decided to organize soccer competitions, and I can tell you that we played soccer , games until when the OC came to me and asked to stop , I knew the pandemic was there , but people were idle (an idle mind, devil's workshop) so I talked with the police officers and stopped but within three days problems came in and I was called to start again, Sports is so strong and it can be used to win souls, I have witnessed.
