The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda (COU), the Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu, has urged Ugandans to unite and seek divine intervention in the issues affecting the country at the time.
Speaking during the inauguration of the second Provincial Prayer Convention at the Provincial Secretariat in Namirembe, Archbishop Kazimba said that people should ditch their fears and commit the needs of the nation to God in prayer.
The three-day provincial prayer convention organized by COU is set to run from November 20-23, 2024, at the Uganda Martyrs Anglican Site in Namugongo under the theme, Conforming the Truth of God’s Word, not the Patterns of the World.
“It is of great importance at a time like this when we are challenged by the Marriage Bill, Coffee Bill, poverty, domestic violence, liberalism, nudity among young ones, and homosexuality to come to the place of prayer and plead for the divine intervention of the Lord,” he said.
He acknowledged the fears surrounding the Agricultural Ministry, highlighting the commonly asked question by the public of whether the ministry will effectively manage the coffee business.
The Archbishop urged Ugandans to stay calm, place their fears aside amongst all the chaos and misunderstandings happening in the country, and seek divine intervention during the convention.
“We are calling upon Christians to come for prayers so that we can really have God’s intervention in these issues,” he said.
On behalf of the Church of Uganda, he invited all Ugandans, especially the youth and students, to attend the convention at the Uganda Martyrs Site in Namugongo.
Bishops, clergy, lay readers, heads of laity, individuals, and various companies are expected to be in attendance and stand with the church and support the convention.
