Price’s Testimony

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! May Great and peaceful Grace Reign supreme in your life today.  May all your loved ones be blessed with that unspeakable joy that is full of Glory. May God the Father shelter you under the cover of His wings and may He fill you with His Spirit so that you may say with all the other Host of Heaven, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.  It is by His Grace Alone that has joined us together in His wonderful and beautiful Plan; and it is by His Grace Alone that will bring it about, Amen and Amen! (Isaiah 14:1 “For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob”)

I am Pastor Price Ibrahim; I come from a small District in Uganda, East Africa, Called Kabarole and I am located in South Western Part of the country. Our Town is Fort Portal. We have some Countries that are neibouring us and those are Kenya, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda to mention a few.

I am a Mutoro by Tribe and the language I speak is Rutooro as my local Language, Also I speak other languages like Runyankole, Rukiga, and Luganda and also I use much English and I speak it very well mostly when I go to preach in any area or place where they don’t listen to my local language.

I was born on 15th, December, 1980. I have both of my parents who are Pentecostals. My Dad is Called Mr. Sam Baranga and my Mom is Called Miss Kajumba Olive and are both in the age of 50s approaching 60s.

I have my Brother and Sister’s namely; Lucky Sarah, Annet Kabarokole and Muhenda Robert and I, Price Ibrahim, I am the first born. Therefore, all of us are born 4 in number.

Both of my Brother and Sisters still live with my parents in the same home and I am the only one that stays in a small rented apartment.

Putting all that aside, I was born a Pentecostal from my Child hood. I used to think that being a Pentecostal is better than any other Church denomination. I knew it was the right Church full of truth. My Father and Mother used to take me and all of my brother and sisters for fellowship every Sunday and sometimes I could dodge them to go for church service and he would punish me severely for failing to attend Church.

When I grew up, I started to go to school and I reached at my higher level of education.

When at my higher level of education, they used to train us Computers and in my heart, I used to love the Lord with all my heart. So, most of the time, I could go on internet and search for sites that would provide scriptures and sermons to learn and study much about God. That was the time I landed on the website for the late Brother David Zane Jones( David died on 4.16.2020) in Indiana, USA and I saw it was a Reformed Baptist Church website and I never knew what a reformed church was. And I had never heard about it in my life and in my country Uganda, we never had any Reformed Baptist Church.

When I landed on this website, I read many articles and many other things and it brought some light of truth in my heart.  I wrote to the Founder and he responded to me with much excited, I introduced myself to him as shown above.

He introduced me to his ministry. By that time, his ministry was “Heritage Reformed Baptist Church” and he would to write me more frequently, sending me Reformed Sermons/Lessons and started to train and introduced me deeply to the reformed faith/Theology of which I felt in much love with.

He went on to send me Lessons both on line and via post office to study them, gives me questions and I send him the answers for marking to make sure I know what he was teaching me. He saw I was doing well and he got excited.

From there, he started to ship me hard copies of the reformed books and in the books he sent me, included, The London Baptist confession of faith of 1689, John Calvin books, Reformation Study Bible, Concordance book, Luther Martin books, John Macarthur books and so many other Reformation study books, just to mention a few of which I read and helped me very much in my understanding the reformed theology.

When David Jones saw that I was excited about this, he went on and told me to get other Brothers and Sisters together and we make a small church and I start training them what he teaches me. I went on and started our first Church plant in Fort Portal Called “Heritage Reformed Baptist Church of Fort Portal” and also I went to another place and I planted another church plant with one of the pastors that David Jones trained me with and this Church was by the names of “Rutoma Heritage reformed Baptist church”

After we had planted these Churches, many people saw that we were doing well though we had a very small congregation in all our churches. Other Pastors decided to come and partner with us. We trained the doctrines of Grace to some of those Pastors that had joined us and started to do ministry work together.  But all in all, at the end, some Pastors disappeared thinking that since they are in our ministry, the ministry would provide them with everything they needed like money and other things and when this failed, they ran away and this showed us that they had not joined us for the cause of the gospel of Christ…This led me to think of the Bible verse in “Matthew 22:14” Many are called but few are chosen!


When my Parents saw that I was really very much committed to the Doctrines of Grace, they never rejected me at all. They knew, I was old enough to decide what was right for me.  I have as well taught them the Doctrines of Grace but still all of them are much affected by Pentecostalism in the church where they go. They still love me so much and respect me as the man of God and this makes them feel so much excited to find I am on the good line with Christ. I am happy; God is touching on my mom little by little with this truth. She sometimes comes to my church for the Fellowship.

Generally, I feel so much proud to be a true Calvinist/man of God.  I have moved from some level to a higher level as a Reformed Brother with the truth and I will never regret at any time as to why I become a Calvinist… I have witnessed many Reformed Churches full of truth. (I am not meaning that only reformed Churches are full of truth but there also some other few churches full of truth. The bad thing, here in Uganda, most of the Pentecostal churches preach the gospel of prosperity and so many other errors and not focused much on the word)

Because of being a Reformed Pastor full of truth, I have been invited to many Churches to preach to them the Doctrines of Grace.  I have had many mission trips to Kenya, I have had house to house evangelism, I have preached in Hospitals and I have as well preached on many radio stations… Psalms 105:1 says, “O give thanks unto the lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people”

For our more Pastors training, we have had a chance to attend many reformed pastors trainings in Kampala which has helped me and other of our pastors to learn a lot of theology full of truth and to know more things we have never known from Scriptures.

As I talk right now, I have so far planted with Pastor Stephen four small reformed Baptist Churches in Uganda. Two churches are located in Eastern and two more located in South Western parts of the country…So, right now, we are called “Grace Fellowship Church”.

For its by Grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it’s the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast-Ephesians 2:8-9


My Testimony about how i felt after knowing the truth in the Doctrines of Grace compared to what i had been taught when i was a Pentecostal

When I was still a Pentecostal from my childhood, I really loved to go to church every Sunday with my Dad and Mom. I remember, those days, my Dad had a bicycle and he would ride on all of us together with my brother and two sisters and my Mother would walk to church. The church we had in our area those days, one would travel 10 kilometers to reach there.

For my going to church, in my heart and mind, I had no reason for going there but just I used to enjoy the dance we had in church, gospel full of prosperity, just to be prayed for, to meet with my friends and my life to be prophesied upon plus many other reasons which were not centered to Christ.

From my childhood till the time I grew up, I never knew any reason as to why I would go to church. I also used to sing in a church choir every Sunday to entertain people but not to worship my lord in faith and truth.

Also, at church, our pastor was a woman and I would love that, not knowing that a woman should never preach in church but keep quite “1 Timothy 2:12 KJV” plus other many bible verses that stop women to preach. And again, we used to have some service every Friday and this service was called “Praise and Worship night”. In this service, our woman pastor would allow us to dance start evening hours till morning without preaching any message. Again, we would pray on top of our voices and every one would speak in his language and we were really disorganized till the time I came to know the truth from the doctrines of Grace as shown in my testimony on how I got saved.
From all those points, when I started to read much on the doctrines of Grace, I found out that I was totally lost and for sure, up to this time, I regret for my time I wasted when a Pentecostal and sometimes, I feel tears coming out of my eyes!! The bible tells us clearly in the book of Hosea that, my people are lost for lack of Knowledge. And that was me!

When I remember all that, it brings me to scriptures like from the book of 1 Corinthians 14:33KJV. This shows us clearly that “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints”. Also, I love many of our Reformed Brothers who preached the truth like, John Calvin. In one of his sermons, he said, “Mans Ignorance of God’s word Is the devils greatest weapon” and Steve Lawson, said, “The God who said, let there be light is the God who looked at your dead soul and said, let there be life” Lastly, RC Sproul said, “your duty is to believe and preach what the bible says, not what you want it to say”

After taking a long time reading many reformed theological books as I used to do every day as my job. I found out that truly, there is no any other church in Uganda full of truth like reformed churches. These churches move with scriptures alone and nothing else. I love the five solas of reformation. They attracted me very much in knowing much of the truth (Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Christ Alone, Scripture Alone and lastly Glory of God Alone) when I read deeply about these solas, I said, wow! And immediately, they brought me to another reformed brother who wrote and said, “don’t look for a church that is close to your house but look for the church that is close to Christ” from there, my life changed and that’s when I said, no more Pentecostalism which is full of heresy in my life but I have to be reformed!

Therefore, from all that I had seen as an error in the gospel, and knowing the truth in reading much. For now, I feel a great change in my life and I see almost anyone who is not reformed is totally LOST!

Right now, we pray at church in a very organized way led by men only. Also, all our ladies at church know well that no woman is supposed to preach! The way we sing in church, it glorifies the lord and all our songs come from scriptures alone and from nowhere else!

Also, the way we interpret the Bible is amazing. I remember, our woman pastor, would come that day and prepare a sermon when we are all at church of which at the end, when I become reformed, I saw it as an error. A good pastor, you have to prepare a sermon for at least three days to make sure your sermon is full of truth. Our pastor used much topical sermons and when I came to know the truth, I found out that we have to do Expository sermon!

As I talk now, I feel that even if it means to stay alone with my truth I can do that! I feel with all my heart and mind that, I have total truth in me even though I am still going on to learn and study much!

I remember, one day, I was telling a Brother and other friends of mine that, even if you cut my body, my blood will remain reformed! Haha...it’s true. I am really very grateful for the lord who introduced me to his only truth as I know; man is saved by Gods Grace.

Right now, many people hate me for the only truth. But I say, I have to go on at all times even though it means being chased from anywhere, I will continue. I remember, one time, I was preaching in Hospital and a lady abused me and chased me from the hospital for my preaching to her the truth.
