"Ateresebwa ebingi era alibuuzibwa bingi". You give credit where it is due. You should always give thanks to God.
Challenges
We have worked and reached this far. This leads us to stop working hard.
We have to thank God for the 112 years. Psalms 92:14 "
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
Now in these 112 years we still expect you to bear fruits.John 2:1-11 believe in Jesus the head of the Church that has spent 112 years to do a new thing amongst you.
When there are problems, to whom do you turn to? He asked. He went ahead to say that when the drinks got over at the wedding in Canna, they turned to Jesus fir help.
When Jesus comes into a situation everything turns for good. He called upon the people of Kabowa to have a new beginning in the next 112 years.

Jesus shows that he can be around any situation whether it is happiness or sorrows. He turns our mourning into dancing again. He lifts our sorrows and we cant stay silent. We must sing.
The Church of Uganda has spent hundreds of years preaching the gospel. We shall continue working hard to proclaim the gospel of Jesus.
There are so many churches around challenging us that we don't have the spirit of God. Saying that we were the first, that's not enough. We have to go back to the bible truths. We have to show that there is a Church building that is visible. The Church must have an impact to the communities so that people get to know.
When we opened the decade of mission, many challenged me for standing in an open air crusade. We have to get out of the comfort zone.
We need to know how many christians we do have in our Churches. Let God do a new thing in the coming years.

Times have changed nowdays Christians do not welcome us to their homes. We should use the new technologies to reach out to the Christians.

We thank God for giving us a radio but we lack a TV station yet the new Churches have all those avenues. When you get the media, you have power.

| Dr. Joseph Jombwe unveils the hospital project. A total of 35 million shillings was pledged that day |
Time for general elections is near. Let us engage in prayers but keep on praying and fasting for this country. Let God's will be done in the coming elections. Once we do that, we shall get the right leaders God is Choosing for us.
Let the words you say rotate around peace and we should love one another. Above all we must remain Ugandans. Let us pray hard to God because there are loose connections. "The bad dances and the way people are seating badly on bodabodas during campaigns with the man facing the lady, what a shame! We pray that God makes a new beginning." The Bishop lamented.
