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.
