My name is Rita Lukombo, I am a mother I am a wife and I am a follower and server of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I am one of three siblings and I was born and raised in London in the UK. My childhood was a tough one, we were exposed to domestic violence, emotional abuse, sibling rivalry was being forced upon us, I was very insecure. Amongst a lot of other problems I was facing the most notorious of them all was rejection. Rejection started at home where you can say we were abandoned my father left the family home when I was around 11/12 and my mother was forced to work go to school and take care of us by herself. The rejection however, it followed me like a bad smell into my schooling life into my friendship groups and even into the church ! By the grace of God maybe I will share my testimony properly! My ministry started at the tender age of around 13/14 and so without revealing my age I can confirm I have spent all of my youth and adult life at the feet of of Jesus! Now that’s not to say that there haven’t been colder seasons in terms of my relationship with Christ! I started off as part of the choir, worked hard and prayed hard and by the grace of God I was bumped up to choir leader I worked a little more harder and I was bumped up to minister of worship. In 2025 my husband and I accepted the call and started our own ministry (Zion int UK) and we have been doing what we believe the Lord has called us to do ever since. Why am i sharing this I’m sharing this to motivate someone to inspire someone in saying with Jesus the way it started is not the way it’ll end!
