Philip Kakungulu

PEACEBUILDING MOBILIZER & CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION TRAINER | UGANDA

Philip (aka Philipstargate) lives in Kampala, Uganda with his family. He is a pastor and seminary graduate with a Master of Divinity, having majored in Faith-Based Training in Conflict Transformation for Trainers. As the team leader and founder of Crossing Lines Africa and a founding member of the African Peace Warriors Network in 2013 (part of Global Peace Warriors), Philip works as a peacebuilding mobilizer, promoting peace-oriented theologies and facilitating conflict transformation training around the Great Lakes Region of Africa and beyond. In addition to his peacebuilding and conflict transformation work, he has worked extensively with faith leaders in refugee settlements and internally displaced people settlements in Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia, D.R.Congo, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi because he sees all work to heal individuals and groups as part of God’s reconciling mission.

He lives with the conviction that God’s peacebuilding mission forms the basic essence of Christianity and that we participate in the Kingdom of God as we pursue peace with God, self, neighbors, and the world. Philip believes that this all-encompassing peace is the core of what Christians are called to work for in the world, living with the conviction that we will never look in the face of another human being whom God does not love. 

Philip is married to Immaculate, and they have four children.
