Dennis gave his life to Christ during a mega crusade organized by Jesus Power Evangelistic Mis­sion in December 2016, held at Shinyalu Market. After his conver­sion, he became a member of Kings Highway Baptist Church-Shinyalu, where he was mentored and disci­pled. His spiritual journey led to his appointment as a youth leader from 2020 to 2023, and he currently serves as the church secretary.

Throughout his ministry, Pastor Dennis has been actively involved in evan­gelism and teaching the gospel, working passionately to spread God’s word in his community.
