More Than 30 Pupils Give Their Lives to Christ as Kitende Parish Mission Reaches Schools

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.

A Gatekeeper’s Salvation Story Inspires Missioners on Day Three of Kitende Parish Door-to-Door Mission

By Hannington Sebuliba

The third day of the Kitende Parish Door-to-Door Mission Week began on a spiritually uplifting note as missioners gathered for a discipleship empowerment session aimed at equipping them with practical tactics for effective evangelism.

The training was facilitated by Mr. Alexandria, who challenged the missioners to embrace a five-point approach to every outreach encounter, reminding them that successful discipleship is built on worship, love, the Word of God, making disciples, and prayer.

The first principle, he emphasized, was worship, noting that every meeting should begin by acknowledging God and inviting His presence.

Secondly, he encouraged the missioners to love one another, describing love as one of the greatest commandments Jesus Christ gave His disciples. He urged them to demonstrate “loving accountability” among themselves and to the people they encounter during the mission.

The third component was sharing the Word of God with the communities they visit, as they carry the message of hope and salvation from home to home.

Mr. Alexandria stressed that the fourth component, making disciples, is the ultimate purpose of evangelism. He reminded the teams that beyond preaching, they should lead people to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour and nurture them in the faith.

The final component was prayer—first lifting up the needs of the people they minister to, and also praying for the continued expansion of God’s Kingdom on earth.

Following the training, various teams set out for their respective mission fields in Kajjansi and surrounding communities, while others headed to schools to share the Gospel.

Before the school teams departed, Rev. Muwonge gave them a powerful reminder: their mission should not stop with students alone but should also reach teachers, cooks, security personnel, and other support staff—people who are often overlooked despite their daily service.

Sharing a touching testimony, Rev. Muwonge recalled a recent encounter at Kitende Secondary School.

"When I visited Kitende Secondary School, I stopped and prayed with the gatekeeper. Guess what he told me? For 15 years, nobody had ever bothered to preach to him at that school. He ended up giving his life to Christ. That made my day," Rev. Muwonge narrated.

The testimony touched the hearts of the missioners and sparked spontaneous shouts of praise. The gathering soon erupted into joyful singing of the Luganda hymn, “Tukutendereza Yesu, Yesu oli Mwana gw’Endiga,” as they celebrated the transforming power of the Gospel.

The story of the gatekeeper became a powerful lesson for the missioners: that the Kingdom of God often grows through simple acts of love, attention, and a willingness to reach those whom society may easily overlook.

With renewed zeal and hearts set on their calling, the teams marched out into Kajjansi and the neighbouring areas, carrying a message of hope—one home, one person, and one transformed life at a time.

KITENDE PARISH DOOR-TO-DOOR MISSION OUTREACH ENTERS DAY TWO

The Kitende Parish Door-to-Door Mission and Evangelism Outreach has entered its second day with missioners continuing to spread the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ across the parish.

The mission teams, drawn from the various churches under Kitende Parish and supported by members of the Kitende Brethren Revival Fellowship, spent the day moving from door to door, business to business, stall to stall, and engaging individuals in one-on-one evangelism.

 The missioners shared the message of God's love, repentance, and restoration with people in their homes, workplaces, markets, and trading centres.

This year's mission is guided by the theme from Jeremiah 3:22: "Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding." In Luganda, the theme reads, "Mukomeewo mmwe abaana abaseeseetuse; nange ndibawonya obuseeseetefu bwammwe."

Throughout the day, missioners encouraged people to renew their relationship with God, reminding them that no one is beyond God's mercy and forgiveness. They shared testimonies, prayed with families, counseled individuals facing various challenges, and invited community members to place their trust in Christ Jesus.

The outreach has continued to receive a warm welcome from many residents who have appreciated the personal visits and prayers offered by the mission teams. Several people opened up about their spiritual journeys, while others expressed gratitude for the Church's efforts to bring the Gospel directly to their homes and places of work.

Speaking about the mission, parish leaders noted that the outreach is intended not only to win souls for Christ but also to strengthen believers who may have grown spiritually weak or drifted away from active Christian fellowship. The mission seeks to remind God's people of His enduring love and His desire to restore those who return to Him in repentance.

As the week-long mission continues, Christians are encouraged to pray for the mission teams, support the outreach activities, and actively participate in sharing the Good News with others.

The mission is expected to continue throughout the week, reaching hundreds of people across the parish with the life-changing message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

"Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding." (Jeremiah 3:22)

May God continue to bless the missioners and all those being reached through this evangelism outreach.

Day One of the Kitende Parish Door-to-Door Mission and Evangelism Outreach Begins Successfully

We bless the Lord for the successful start of the first day of the Kitende Parish Door-to-Door Mission and Evangelism Outreach at St. Stephen's Church, Kitende.

The mission kicked off with great enthusiasm as a team of more than 70 dedicated missioners set out early in the morning to visit people in their homes, workplaces, and various gathering points within the community. The purpose of the outreach is to share the Gospel message and call people back to a closer relationship with God.

One of the mission teams visited Kawotto Trading Centre, where they met and interacted with boda boda riders at their stage. Through one-on-one conversations and personal testimonies, the missioners shared the day's theme from Jeremiah 3:22: "Return, O backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding."

The message resonated deeply with the riders, many of whom quickly related it to their daily experiences. During the discussion, one boda boda rider gave a practical illustration of what backsliding means. He explained that when riding a motorcycle up a steep hill, a rider may begin to slide backward on the seat. To continue safely and maintain control, the rider must consciously adjust and move back into the correct position.

The missioners appreciated this illustration and pointed out that it perfectly reflects God's call in Jeremiah's message. Just as a rider corrects his position to continue the journey safely, God invites His people to recognize when they have drifted away from Him and return so that He may restore and heal them.

Throughout the day, the mission teams will continue moving from home to home and place to place, sharing the Gospel with everyone they encounter regardless of their religious background. Christians, Muslims, atheists, and people of all walks of life are being reached with the message of God's love, forgiveness, and restoration.

The week-long mission will continue until Sunday, 21st June 2026, when it will culminate in a grand closing celebration. The outreach seeks not only to preach the Gospel but also to encourage spiritual renewal, reconciliation with God, and transformation within the community.

In addition to the daytime evangelism activities, every evening the mission teams will gather in trading centres across the area to show a film depicting the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. These screenings are expected to provide another opportunity for people to learn about Christ and engage in discussions about faith.

We thank God for the good beginning, the favorable reception from the community, and the commitment of the missioners who have dedicated their time and energy to this important work. 

We pray that the Lord will continue to guide, protect, and use every team member throughout the week, and that many lives will be transformed through the power of His Word.

God heals broken hearts

Rev. Samuel Muwonge preaching to students Kitende S.S.

God heals the broken hearted

I surrender all to Jesus

Students of Kitende S.S.  respond to an altar call

This afternoon Rev. Samuel Muwonge led the Entebbe Archdeaconry Mission and School Ministry team to Kitende Secondary School to minister to the students.

His message was based on the theme: God heals the broken hearted.

"God promises to mend your hearts, heal them and strengthen you" he said amidst shouts of praises. He asked them to let go of the past. Don't live in your yesterday or your tomorrow, live in your today.

He told them that there was hope to smile again even when everything seemed deem. He later on made an alter call. 

As the hymn I surrender all was being played by the organist, one by one who had been touched by the message stood to his/her feet raising the hands and said a prayer after the Reverend asking Jesus to enter their hearts and be their Lord and King and Saviour.

Over 800 students this afternoon accepted the Lord to be their Saviour.

Thanks be to God.

At the end of it all, Reverend Muwonge prayed for the students to be restored to be excellent in whatever they are doing.
