According to his ministry team, the man of God and the author of more than 80 books was admitted at a hospital in San Diego USA after being diagnosed with Pneumonia.

The Evangelist who began preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ at 16 first visited Uganda in 1993 and met president Museveni alongside other Christian leaders.

He returned in 2007 under the invitation of pastor Robert Kayanja of Miracle Centre Cathedral. During the miracle crusade in Kampala by then, he revealed that he is a good friend to president Museveni and mama Janet Kataha Museveni.
 

‘I have learnt of the passing away of Dr Morris Cerullo at the great old age of 88 years. Dr Cerullo’s life and works are well known because this man of God traversed the world many times preaching the Word of God, particularly in Africa.

He trained many younger evangelists in the ministry and conducted healing services, making it clear that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Healer.

He was a gifted and prolific writer and the Church has benefited from some 80 books which he authored during his lifetime.

While we on earth will miss this great giant of the faith, we can rest in the knowledge that Heaven is rejoicing as they welcome such a great General in the army of the Lord.

We praise God for the tremendous impact Evangelist Cerullo made on the Church of Jesus Christ throughout his life, and we pray that his ministry will continue to grow and produce fruit for many generations to come.

May his family be strengthened in knowing that his life has been a blessing to so many and Dr Cerullo has not died, he has merely gone home to our permanent place where they too will join him in God’s time,’said Janet.

‘Dr Morris Cerullo fought the good fight’


Pastor Kayanja: We celebrate the life of God’s general. 

 

Church leaders have paid tribute to well-known evangelist Morris Cerullo, who died Saturday at the age of 88. Amongst them, the founder of Miracle Centre Cathedral – Rubaga, Pastor Robert Kayanja, described the preacher as one who fought a good fight of faith even at an advanced age.
Pastor Kayanja said evangelist Cerullo is fondly remembered for his video ministry which he urges had great impact here in Uganda and in the whole of Africa.
“We were shaken by the news of the Home-going of a father in the faith, a mentor, a friend and one of the most impactful servants of God of the 20th and 21st Century- Dr. Morris Cerullo,” Pastor Kayanja said in a release.
Mr Kayanja stated that evangelist Cerullo’s faith and faithfulness to the Lord have been inspirational.
“He has lived on the mission field. Even in his old age, he kept dreaming,” Pastor Kayanja said.
On July 9, Dr. Cerullo’s family posted an urgent prayer request on Facebook, indicating that he was in the hospital.
Cerullo became a believer at the age of 14 and started preaching when he was 15-years-old.
The evangelist was called to international ministry and formed Morris Cerullo World Evangelism (M.C.W.E.) in 1961. In 2011, he launched the daily television show, “Victory Today” and he has written more than 200 Christian books.
“After spending a night at a homeless shelter, the San Diego Mission, on my first overseas trip to the USA, I was directed to Dr. Cerullo’s offices in San Diego where I met his Executive Vice President at the time, a man of God called Shultz. He welcomed me, took me out for lunch and prophesied to me that God was going to use me mightily in America and around the world. He said to me that God wanted me to go to Phoenix, Arizona. He proceeded to purchase an airline ticket for me and I went to Phoenix where my ministry in the US took off and never remained the same,” Pastor Kayanja said.

Morris Cerullo (1931-2020) is an American pentecostal evangelist. He traveled extensively around the world for his ministry. He hosted “Victory Today,” a daily television program, and published hundreds of books.

Through Dr. Cerullo’s world conferences, Pastor Kayanja says so many upcoming Christian leaders at the time gained world prominence where he would invite them to minister.
Dr Cerullo came to Uganda in 1993 and conducted a believers’ conference at the Makerere University Freedom Square.
He returned on several occasions, and also shared the gospel of Jesus Christ in multiple other countries across the world including Nigeria, Mexico, Brazil, The Philippines, Korea, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, Indonesia, and the Netherlands.
“Brother Cerullo, as we fondly called him, was probably the last remaining revivalist that participated in the healing revivals of the 1940s and 50s in America. He has fought a good fight, he has run his race and now prepared for him is a crown (for Dr. Cerullo, I believe it is a number of crowns.),” Pastor Kayanja said.
Pastor Noah Sematimba of Breakthrough Miracle Life Ministries said evangelist Cerullo’s ministry through the conferences he did in Uganda at the time, ignited what many described as MTR ( Mango Tree Revival) meetings at Makerere University.
He said the initiative ushered many into ministry especially those who attended studies at the tertiary institution.
“Fare thee well Man Of God. Enjoy your well earned rest in the loving arms of the one you served so faithfully,” he said.
Many leaders have sent their condolences to the televangelist’s wife of over 50 years, Theresa Cerullo. The couple had two surviving children David and Susan.
