Day four of the Kitende Parish Door-to-Door Mission Outreach began on a spiritually uplifting note as missioners gathered for prayer and encouragement before setting out with a renewed commitment to walk in step with the Holy Spirit.
Among the various mission teams was the schools ministry team led by Mubuulizi Nsereko.
Their mission for the day was to take the Gospel message directly to young learners and educators in several schools within the parish. The team visited Vision School Kitende, Jjanyi Church of Uganda Primary School, and St. Peter's School.
At Jjanyi Church of Uganda Primary School, the missioners received a particularly warm and enthusiastic welcome from both the school administration and the pupils. The atmosphere quickly came alive as the team led the children in vibrant praise and worship sessions. Joyful singing, clapping, and dancing filled the school compound as pupils eagerly participated in the worship experience.
Following the praise and worship, the mission team shared the Word of God from Daniel 1:8, focusing on the example of Daniel, who purposed in his heart to remain faithful to God despite the challenges and pressures around him. The pupils were encouraged to develop strong Christian values, make godly choices, and stand firm in their faith even when faced with temptation.
The message resonated deeply with many of the children. Missioners reminded them that they are never too young to serve God and that every aspect of their lives—from their studies and friendships to their behavior at home and school—should bring glory to Him.
Drawing from Scripture, the team emphasized that whatever the children do, they should do it wholeheartedly and for the glory of God. Teachers and pupils alike listened attentively as the message challenged them to live lives that reflect Christian character and integrity.
One of the most touching moments of the day came at the conclusion of the sermon when an altar call was made. As heads were bowed in prayer, dozens of young hands went up in response to the invitation to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. More than 30 pupils stepped forward, publicly declaring their decision to follow Christ.
The sight of young children responding to the Gospel brought joy and thanksgiving to both the mission team and the school community. Missioners prayed with the new believers, encouraging them to continue growing in their faith through prayer, Bible reading, and active participation in church and school fellowship activities.
As the Kitende Parish Mission Outreach continues, testimonies such as these serve as a powerful reminder that God is at work among people of all ages. The decision by more than 30 children to surrender their lives to Christ stands as a lasting testimony to the transforming power of the Gospel and the importance of reaching young people with the message of salvation.
The parish continues to pray that the seeds planted during this mission week will bear lasting fruit in the lives of the children, their families, and the wider community.
