Palmer's People (#3 of 8)

A profile of one of Palmer Robertson's 20 pioneer students in Uganda

Jalia Muwanga and Daniel Matovu

Jalia was raised in a Muslim home. Her father is a Hajii - one who has visited Mecca, and who is thereby a respected and honored Muslim. After becoming a Christian she was thrown out of her home, and was taken in by her pastor and his family. She already has a BA in Industrial Art from Makerere University in Kampala, but she and her fiance Daniel Matovu, who also has a BA in Art, and who has been accepted as a pioneer student to ABC, have set their hearts on being missionaries wherever God would call them. They desire to study for a second B.A. so that they may be thoroughly trained in the Scriptures and in sound theology so that they can be more effective in reaching others for Christ.
