FEM-I began in the villages of western Uganda through the simple but courageous faith of a young boy, Lamech Natukwatsa. After giving his life to Christ, he faced rejection at home and in his community. Yet he continued to pray, read Scripture by lamplight, and gather neighbors quietly from house to house.   Those early moments of prayer and fellowship in humble settings became the foundation of a ministry that would grow steadily over the decades.

The first years of FEM-I were marked by simplicity and perseverance. Prayer meetings were held in living rooms, on verandas, and beneath trees. Evangelism was done on foot, by bicycle, and later with shared transport.   Drums played by the roadside drew people together for worship, encouragement, and fellowship, forming small groups of believers who continued to meet regularly even when conditions were difficult.

Over time, these small fellowships multiplied across western Uganda and beyond. Often referred to as “branches,” many still worship without permanent buildings, meeting in family compounds, borrowed rooms, unfinished structures, or under temporary shelters. Each fellowship represents a community choosing faith, prayer, and unity despite limited facilities.

Depuis sa création, FEM-I fonctionne principalement comme un ministère itinérant. Croisades, sessions d'enseignement, réunions de prière et programmes d'aide communautaire sont fréquemment organisés dans des espaces ouverts ou des salles louées. Le transport de tentes, de chaises, de systèmes de sonorisation et de générateurs d'un lieu à l'autre est indispensable, le carburant, l'entretien et l'alimentation électrique des générateurs restant essentiels, notamment dans les zones rurales où l'électricité est instable ou inexistante.   Cette mobilité a permis à FEM-I d'atteindre de nombreuses communautés mal desservies tout en opérant sans base permanente.

As technology advanced, FEM-I embraced digital platforms to extend its reach. Livestream services on Facebook and YouTube now connect with viewers across Uganda, East Africa, and beyond. These online gatherings continue the ministry’s original mission—offering teaching, encouragement, and prayer to those seeking hope, wherever they may be.

At the heart of FEM-I is a deep commitment to people. Over the years, the ministry has developed initiatives such as: ​ • Children’s biblical teaching programs • Youth fellowship and mentorship • Women’s empowerment gatherings • Literacy support • Worship and creative arts teams • Basic skills and life-training programs   Each initiative was created to uplift families and strengthen communities using the resources available at the time.

Après de nombreuses années d'action mobile, FEM-I continue de prier et de planifier un lieu permanent – le Centre de Transformation – où le culte, la formation, le discipulat et le soutien communautaire pourront se développer de manière structurée et durable. ​ Bien que la vision s'élargisse, le cœur du ministère demeure inchangé : ​ • Pour atteindre ceux qui se sentent oubliés • Pour fortifier les croyants dans leur foi • Marcher aux côtés des communautés avec compassion, dignité et espoir   FEM-I reste fidèle à sa vocation d’être les mains et les pieds de Jésus – aujourd’hui et pour les générations à venir.
