The Bishop Emeritus of East Rwenzori Diocese, Rt Rev Geoffrey Rwobusisi, has called on Christians to place their trust in God as their personal saviour and provider rather than relying on what he described as “earthly counterfeit gods.”
He made the remarks on Wednesday, February 26, 2026, while presiding over a memorial service for the late Rev Canon Ephraim Gensi, proprietor of St Paul’s Community Nursing and Primary School. The event also marked the school’s Silver Jubilee celebrations at Rwakabengo Ward in Southern Division, Rukungiri Municipality.
In his sermon, Bishop Rwobusisi urged believers to remain steadfast in their faith, emphasizing that many people put their hope in “small gods” and end up disappointed. He encouraged students to prioritise education despite financial challenges, noting that dedication and trust in God are key to a successful future.
The Bishop of North Kigezi Diocese, Rt Rev Onesmus Asiimwe, commended St Paul’s Community Nursing and Primary School for the quality education it offers. He challenged the school’s proprietors and sponsors to consider expanding the institution to include a secondary school and eventually a university to further serve the community.
Canon Mary Rwobusisi encouraged students to fear God, saying that reverence for Him is the foundation of wisdom and essential for a bright and meaningful future.
Margret Gensi, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors at St Paul’s Community Nursing and Primary School, paid tribute to her late husband, Rev Canon Ephraim Gensi, for his dedication to education and Christian service. She reaffirmed the school’s commitment to nurturing Christian values and producing God-fearing learners with integrity.
The memorial service and Silver Jubilee celebrations were also marked by the commissioning of a newly constructed standard boys’ hostel, built with support from Brian Kruth from the United Kingdom. The new facility is expected to improve accommodation and enhance the learning environment at the school.
