In a significant show of pastoral solidarity, Pastor Victor Francis Mutaawe of Praise Jesus Tower Ministries in Jinja Walukuba paid a heartfelt courtesy visit to Canaan Land on Sunday, receiving a warm welcome from Senior Pastor Aloysious Bujjingo and the congregation.
The visit was marked by messages of encouragement, shared history, and a strong pledge of support for the church's highly anticipated Independence Night celebrations.
Pastor Mutaawe, who once shepherded the very congregation he addressed, was given the platform to speak. He began by expressing his profound gratitude to the members of House of Prayer Ministries International for their unwavering support of Pastor Bujjingo through all circumstances.
"There is more blessing here at Canaan Land," Mutaawe declared, reflecting on his own tenure at the church. "I know this because I was a pastor in this same place. The foundation here is strong."
The highlight of his address was a firm commitment to the upcoming Independence Night event. He conveyed a message from the people of Jinja, stating they are "more than ready" to attend the celebration in large numbers. Furthermore, Pastor Mutaawe made a personal pledge of financial support for the event, underscoring his belief in its mission.
He concluded his sermon with a broader spiritual charge, encouraging Christians to prioritize investing in the gospel. "It is the only investment you will never regret," he told the attentive congregation.
The service also served as a platform for Pastor Bujjingo to rally his church for the final preparations leading to the Independence Night. He announced that this Friday will feature the last overnight prayer service before the main event, urging members to attend and pray in preparation.
In a separate announcement, Pastor Bujjingo revealed that a baptism ceremony is scheduled for this Saturday. He noted that the baptism would coincide with a special service already planned at Canaan Land, indicating a day of significant spiritual activity for the church.
The visit and mutual expressions of support have generated increased excitement among the faithful, setting a collaborative and expectant tone for the church's upcoming events.
