Rev. Emmanuel Baribusya, the parish priest of Murama Church of Uganda in Buhunga Archdeaconry, North Kigezi Diocese, emphasized the critical role of Christians in promoting development within their churches.
During a visit to the Nyamiyaga community at Charles Byamukama’s home to raise funds for church development, Rev. Baribusya urged Christians to collaborate and support ongoing church projects to ensure progress.
He expressed concerns about Christians neglecting essential projects such as construction work and fundraising for the diocesan quarters, noting that such actions hinder church development.
In an interview with our reporter, Rev. Emmanuel stated that they are currently visiting communities within the parish to raise funds for development projects. He highlighted that they have already constructed a parish latrine and are now focused on building the church, which is why they are organizing fundraising events.
Stanry Nyakashaija, the head of laity at the church, praised their priest for implementing strategies to advance the parish, acknowledging his efforts in helping the church progress. He mentioned that due to the strong working relationship between the Christians and the parish leadership, they have managed to pay off the diocesan quarters in full, allowing them to concentrate on further development.
A total of 1,568,000 UGX was collected to support the ongoing construction of a new church at Murama Church of Uganda.
