Christians have been urged to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior for all their concerns to be sorted in Him.
This call was made by Grace Muheirwe from Kyamate Denary, South Ankole Diocese, during the closure of a three-day convention held at St. Paul’s Kasoroza Parish, Nyakagyeme Archdeaconry. The convention began on Friday night, October 10th, 2025, and attracted a large number of believers from different areas.
Grace Muheirwe encouraged parents to receive Christ not only for their own salvation but also for the sake of their children, emphasizing that parents are the first channel of blessings for their families. She reminded the congregation that “everyone reaps what they sow” and advised Christians to avoid boasting in worldly possessions, which cannot be taken to heaven. She urged believers to remain grateful for what they have and encouraged the wealthy to share their blessings with the needy.
Addressing teachers, Muheirwe called on them to serve with a godly heart and remember their initial gratitude to God when they first got employed. She cautioned them against mistreating learners, noting that money alone should not define their service.
Meanwhile, Rev. Julius Niwagaba Tengyeta, the North Kigezi Diocesan Mission Coordinator, urged the congregation to live exemplary lives that reflect Christ both inside and outside the church. He warned against hiding behind church activities while living contrary to Christian values. Tengyeta further encouraged Christians to put into practice the teachings they had received, adding that priests should continue preaching the Gospel of truth, assuring them that God will fight for them.
The Venerable Ronald Natuwhera, Archdeacon of St. Paul’s Kasoroza Parish, thanked the office of the Bishop and the missions coordinator for organizing the three-day mission. He revealed that thousands of people had received Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
He added that the mission also focused on promoting development, with teachings that emphasized the importance of hard work and using one’s hands productively. He urged the faithful to maintain the spirit of togetherness and to continue applying what they learned, saying that the convention had truly transformed many lives.
