For all it's beauty and splendor Uganda also has had a dark past. In September 1977, President Idi Amin banned Pentecostal Churches and on 12th April 1978 armed soldiers stormed and desecrated the church at Makerere arresting 200 believers. The churches then went underground and grew even more during the persecution.
​
After the fall of Idi Amin in 1979, freedom of Worship was restored and tens of thousands of different Pentecostal churches blossomed. Much more is still needed be done to restore the lost last Glory of the church of Christ in Uganda since most of the available churches especially in some towns and village are still pray and worship under trees or grass arched and woods without iron sheets
