Phaneroo Ministries International has announced that the fifth edition of its Global Inter-University Conference (GIC) will take place on November 14 at the Phaneroo Grounds in Naguru, Kampala. The conference, which begins at 2 p.m., aims to bring together students from universities, technical colleges, vocational schools, and specialized training institutions. This event is designed to provide a platform for young people to engage in spiritual, leadership, and career-focused activities.
The Global Inter-University Conference has become one of Phaneroo's key platforms for engaging young people through religious teaching, personal development, and leadership training. Now in its fifth year, the conference has attracted significant attention from students and stakeholders in the education sector. The program will feature a range of activities, including preaching, worship, counseling, networking, and career-related events. A student talent showcase, featuring music, dance, and drama, is also planned.
Apostle Grace Lubega, the vision bearer of Phaneroo Ministries, emphasized that the conference is intended to equip young people beyond their academic training. Lubega highlighted the potential of the current generation to transform nations and stated that the conference aims to raise young people who are spiritually grounded, intellectually equipped, and prepared to lead with excellence in every sphere of society.
The 2026 conference program will feature Apostle Grace Lubega, leadership coach and author Dr. Cindy Trimm, and Apostle Felix Okoh of House of Treasures Ministries in Johannesburg. Zambian gospel musician Pompi and Ugandan gospel ministers are also scheduled to perform. The conference will combine its religious program with activities addressing practical concerns facing students as they prepare for employment and professional life.
Participants will have access to counseling and opportunities to interact with corporate organizations through partnerships established by Phaneroo. The talent showcase is expected to provide a platform for students to present their work in music, dance, and drama, with prizes planned for outstanding performances. Previous editions of the conference have attracted young people from institutions of higher learning and generated testimonies from attendees.
The conference comes at a time when universities and other tertiary institutions are increasingly becoming important spaces for engagement around young people's spiritual, social, and professional lives. For religious organizations, student-focused gatherings provide an avenue to combine faith-based teaching with discussions about leadership, careers, and personal development.
Beyond the program itself, the organizers say security arrangements have been made for the event and that the necessary permissions from relevant authorities have been obtained. Phaneroo Ministries International is working with security agencies and other partners to provide security at the venue. The event is expected to have a significant impact on the lives of young people in Uganda and beyond.
