Uganda Christian University (UCU) Prof. Peter Nyende’s first love was football. In the 1980s, as a young boy at Kenya’s Jamhuri High School in Nairobi, he was part of the national team that represented the country in the under-14 football competition in South Korea. Nyende’s interest in the game made him harbor intentions of playing it at a professional level. However, his father thought he should pursue a “more serious career.” 

The Rt. Rev. Onesimus Asiimwe, the newly consecrated Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of North Kigezi, grew up in a home where it was mandatory to pray. In fact, he used to even take readings in church. However, at some point in his life, Asiimwe took to drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes so much so that many people lost hope in him.

Uganda Christian University (UCU) has come out of the Covid pandemic and lockdown with its first School of Medicine (SoM) graduates, a new building on the Mukono campus and recognition of faculty elevated to high-level leadership positions, among others.

The outgoing leadership of the Law Love Fellowship has handed over the responsibility of the service to the new incoming leadership at an event held at Kingdom View, an extension of the university.

After the death of James Kibirige, the father of new Mukono Diocese Bishop Enos Kitto Kagodo, the burden of looking after the family fell on their mother. Ruth Kibirige found herself brewing local beer and selling fish to get money to keep her children in school. Occasionally, Good Samaritans would support Ruth with handouts for the family. At the time, Kagodo was in Primary Five.

The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 presented a significant challenge for churches in Uganda. With restrictions on public gatherings as a mechanism to curb the spread of the coranavirus, many churches had to adapt quickly in order to continue providing spiritual support and guidance to their members.
