History

It all started when…

Lifechange International began with a meeting between a Pastor Ian from England and Pastor Michael Kyazze of Uganda in the mid 1990's. Michael had a vision of providing food and education to the poorest children in his region, but his church did not have the financial resources to make it happen. 

Ian went back to England and challenged his church to pledge enough to take care of 25 children, and they jumped on board. So Michael went into the poorest neighborhood  he could find, rife with malnutrition and disease, and told the families his church wanted to pay for their children to go to school. In a place where prostitution was a common way to make enough money to eat, many doubted. But those who trusted Michael learned that he meant what he said.

Michael's Kids, the first LifeChange ministry, was born.

Since then, LifeChange International began partnering with Dwelling Places in Uganda and over the years has added several other ministries from around the world.

In 2022 Jack and Tammy Fairweather, who founded Arise Ministries in the Philippines took over daily operations LifeChange International.

Today LifeChange international is affiliated with LifeChange Vineyard Church in Littleton, Colorado and supports Kingdom-Building initiatives in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
