Archdeacon George Bazahuuza of Buhunga Archdeaconry recently visited Rwamuninga Church of Uganda in Rukungiri District, Uganda. During his pastoral visit on November 10, 2026, he emphasized the importance of unity and cooperation among Christians to develop their church and advance God’s kingdom. The visit took place in Rwenkuba Cell, Katurika Parish, Buhunga Sub-county. Bazahuuza’s message highlighted the need for spiritual growth through discipline in families, church, and daily life.
Bazahuuza encouraged Christians to uphold good morals and positive behaviour as they serve God and participate in church activities. He stressed that discipline is essential for spiritual growth and development. The Archdeacon’s call to action was complemented by Muhwezi Isaac, the church’s Lay Reader, who also urged Christians to embrace unity and teamwork. Isaac emphasized that working together is crucial for improving the church and ensuring God’s kingdom continues to flourish.
The Head of Laity, Bamanya Stephen, discussed the church’s ongoing projects and challenges. The church is constructing rental facilities to generate income for its activities and plans to complete the lay leaders’ house. Additionally, a small coffee plantation has been established, but its expansion is limited by the available land. Stephen expressed concern about the low attendance at Sunday services, noting that only a few Christians attend regularly.
Stephen also mentioned that the church has access to water but lacks electricity. This is one of the challenges the church faces in its daily operations. Despite these challenges, Christians Niwagaba Evas and Atukwase Evelyn welcomed the Archdeacon’s visit, describing it as an opportunity to strengthen their faith. They encouraged fellow Christians, particularly men, to return to church services, as attendance has increasingly been left to women.
The pastoral visit by Archdeacon Bazahuuza served as a reminder of the importance of community and cooperation in church development. His message resonated with the congregation, who are eager to improve their church and serve God more effectively. The church’s initiatives, such as the construction of rental facilities and the coffee plantation, demonstrate its commitment to self-sustainability.
The issue of low attendance at Sunday services remains a concern for the church. Efforts to address this issue and improve overall participation are ongoing. The church’s leadership, including Archdeacon Bazahuuza and the Lay Reader, are working to find solutions to this challenge. Unity and teamwork are seen as key to overcoming these obstacles and achieving the church’s goals.
The visit concluded with a renewed sense of purpose among the congregation. Christians were encouraged to work together, embrace discipline, and uphold good morals. The church’s development and spiritual growth depend on these principles. Key points from the visit include the importance of unity, the need for discipline in daily life, and the church’s ongoing projects to improve its sustainability.
