"I also commend the wives of all men who allowed them to be here today."

According to Rwabwogo, they came up with the men's conference to confront the things that disturb men to save lives, improve household incomes and marriage.

The men's conference is being graced by several Christians, religious, political, military, prison, Police, business and other officials.

The men's conference is an initial activity of the week-long momentous Light Up Uganda for Jesus initiative, whose chief convener is Pastor Patience Rwabwogo.

The initiative, in its third year, aims to awaken the Church, unify believers and ignite a wave of revival that extends beyond Uganda’s borders.

The “Light Up Uganda for Jesus” mission is part of a broader initiative Pr Rwabwogo has championed to spiritually revive the nation and position Uganda as a beacon of hope for the African continent.

The week-long initiative is expected to feature a diverse lineup of speakers from various denominations, including renowned evangelist Bishop Ladonna Osborne from the United States.

According to Patience, the conference aims to unite believers in prayer, worship and strategy to lead Uganda into a new era of spiritual and societal change.

She explained that her vision is rooted in a prophetic encounter in which she saw a small light emerging from Uganda and spreading across Africa.

“That light symbolises Uganda’s role in igniting a continental spiritual revival. But it starts with us, the Church, standing together as one,” she said.
