Soldiers of Christ Hold Prayer and Fasting Ahead of School Outreach

The Soldiers of Christ, a youth ministry of the Diocese of Kinkiizi dedicated to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, today held a prayer and fasting session at Kanyantorogo Church of Uganda in preparation for an evangelistic outreach to schools in Kanyantorogo Archdeaconry.

The two-year-old ministry continues to reach young people through vibrant missions and online fellowships, with a vision of spreading the Gospel across the Diocese of Kinkiizi and the Province of the Church of Uganda. The session was attended by members of the Soldiers of Christ and the Kinkiizi Youth Evangelist Team.

Addressing the youth, the Diocesan Youth and Children Coordinator, Rev. Steven Niwabeine, urged them to surrender, submit, and commit themselves to God as they fulfil their calling to preach the Gospel. His message was echoed by Rev. Owen Abaho, Parish Priest of Kashojwa Church of Uganda, who encouraged them to remain faithful in ministry.

The event was hosted by Rev. Bob Mababazi, Parish Priest of Centenary Church of Uganda, Kanyantorogo, and Patron of the Soldiers of Christ ministry.

The upcoming mission will see the team visit more than 20 schools across Kanyantorogo Archdeaconry to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, encourage students to commit their lives to Christ, and inspire them to grow in Christian faith and godly living.

Diocese of Kinkiizi Solemnizes Marriages of 17 Couples in Mass Wedding Service

11 July 2026 | St. Peter’s Cathedral Nyakatare

The Diocese of Kinkiizi has on Saturday, 11 July 2026, held a Mass Wedding Service during which 17 couples solemnized their marriages after successfully completing marriage counselling and orientation organized by St. Peter’s Cathedral Nyakatare Deanery.

The couples voluntarily registered for the ceremony as part of the Deanery’s ongoing efforts to promote Christian marriage, strengthen families, and encourage couples to formalize their unions before God.

The service was presided over by the Rt. Rev. Dan Zoreka, Bishop of the Diocese of Kinkiizi, and led by the Very Rev. Canon Richard Tumwebaze, Sub-Dean of St. Peter’s Cathedral Nyakatare.

In his sermon, Bishop Dan congratulated the newly married couples and urged them to build their homes on the foundation of God’s Word. He encouraged them to remain faithful to one another, to love unconditionally, and to uphold their marriage vows with commitment and mutual respect, reminding them that Christ should always remain at the centre of their families.

As part of the celebration, the Diocesan Head of Laity, Hon. Eng. Sam Kajojo, presented special gifts to each of the newly wedded couples as a gesture of love, encouragement, and support as they begin a new chapter in their married lives.

The joyous occasion was further marked by a welcome rainfall after a prolonged dry spell. Worshippers received the rain with thanksgiving, describing it as a timely blessing from God that added to the significance and joy of the celebration.

The Mass Wedding Service reflects the Diocese of Kinkiizi’s continued commitment to strengthening Christian families by equipping couples for lifelong, God-centred marriages.
