The vision of Living in Victory International Church (L.V.I.C) is crafted to raise, ground and inspire its members to show God’s model for humanity. Vision is a snapshot finality of what we intend to produce in the aftermath of our existence.

Evans Bangira, serves as the lead steward of Living in Victory International Church, together with his wife, Kimberly and their vision is to build an apostolic house to the glory of the living God. They represent a rising generation of leaders called to re-model families into God’s predetermined plans and purposes according to God’s kingdom prototype. Evans and his wife represent a new breed of revolutionary lovers of God whom God is going to use in these last days because there is a generation that is arising that will not settle for concepts, ideas and theories.
