Uganda is set to host renowned Malawian preacher and global faith leader Prophet Shepherd Bushiri on January 31, 2026, in what organisers describe as one of the most anticipated prophetic gatherings in recent years.

According to the organisers, the 'prophetic sessions', scheduled to take place at the Hockey Grounds in Kampala city, is being hosted by Healing Fountain Ministries under the leadership of Prophetess Dr Faith Obayi.

Speaking to the media on January 26, 2026, ahead of the event, leaders from Healing Fountain Ministries said the visit goes beyond a conventional religious meeting, positioning it as a moment of spiritual renewal, leadership guidance and national reflection at the start of the year.

“This is a great opportunity for us to have a man of God, a prophet in the calibre of Prophet Shepherd Bushiri,” said Chris Henry Mukooli, the director of finance and administration at Healing Fountain Ministries. 

“This is a man who is yearned for all over the globe—in America, Australia, Japan and across Africa. What a privilege to host such a speaker in our midst," he said during the briefing, held at Kampala Serena Hotel.

Deeply blessed

Mukooli emphasized that Uganda is “deeply blessed” to receive Prophet Bushiri at this time, noting that the conference is designed to impact not only individuals seeking spiritual intervention, but also leaders in business and governance.

“This is not only a spiritual event. It is a platform for prophetic insight for our business leaders, our leaders in government and governance. We are going to receive from a man of experience. He holds doctorates in management and philosophy, and at the same time he handles spiritual matters. We have got a lot to learn from him.” 

According to Mukooli, Bushiri’s appeal extends well beyond Uganda’s borders, with interest already registered from neighbouring countries.

“I have received calls internationally and nationally—from South Sudan, from Kenya—people saying, ‘What a privilege.’ Many nations across the world are yearning to meet this man of God, and now he is coming to Uganda,” he said.

Mukooli urged Ugandans from all sectors to attend, saying the prophetic encounter could help the nation move to a higher level of accountability and stewardship. 

“I am encouraging our people across all sectors to come and learn, to get direction in the area of stewardship, accountability and governance. This will impact our society and our nation. As a country, we can’t afford to miss this chance, especially at the beginning of the year,” he said.

He also shared personal testimonies from previous gatherings led by Prophet Bushiri, citing experiences of healing and prophetic insight as evidence of the impact of the preacher’s ministry. 

“I have personally experienced healings that challenged even the most skeptical. When you encounter such a prophet, you realize that God speaks in different dimensions, giving direction and solving deep-rooted challenges,” Mukooli said.

An honour and a responsibility

Obayi, the founder of Healing Fountain Ministries, described the upcoming conference as both an honour and a responsibility.

“I really want to appreciate God for giving me the honor to be the host of this conference that is going to happen on the 31st of January, 2026,” she said. “We are privileged to have Bushiri come and speak to us here in Uganda.”

Obayi described Bushiri as a global influencer whose ministry spans more than 76 countries. 

“He is a man that has raised and mentored presidents, businesspeople and leaders across the globe,” she said. 

“His profile is very high. He is not only a preacher, but a mentor and a businessman whose impact has touched nations.” 

She stressed the importance of beginning the year with spiritual guidance. “It is very important to start the year with a prophet,” Obayi said.

“The Bible tells us that God reveals His secrets through prophets. This prophet is very unique—you cannot encounter him and remain the same.”

According to Obayi, the conference is open to everyone, regardless of background. “I want to invite Uganda as a nation—individuals, families, spiritual leaders, politicians, businesspeople and students,” she said. “If you are seeking wisdom, direction, healing or clarity in your life, this is a moment you should not miss.”

She also highlighted Bushiri’s involvement in various economic sectors, including agriculture and education. 

“He owns over 20,000 acres of land where he is doing farming that is helping to raise the economy of Malawi. He also runs institutions like the IS Academy. Whatever field you are in—business, farming, academics—there is something to learn from him,” Obayi said.

She also expressed gratitude to Ugandan authorities for supporting freedom of worship. “We appreciate the government of Uganda and our leadership for the support and the freedom accorded to us to worship,” she said.

As anticipation builds, organizers say the January 31 gathering is intended to be a moment of unity, prayer and renewal. “Everyone is going through something quietly,” Mukooli said. “This is an invitation to come and embrace liberty, peace of mind and direction. Let God meet you at your very point of need.”
