________________

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Saturday hosted world-renowned evangelist Pastor Benny Hinn at the State Lodge in Nakasero, in a reflective meeting focused on the role of Christianity in Africa, national transformation, and spiritual guidance.

The engagement, also attended by Pastor Robert Kayanja, centred on how Christian values continue to influence Uganda’s development.

President Museveni took the opportunity to highlight what he believes is Christianity’s most important contribution to African spirituality.

“The value addition to Africa by Christianity was the message of resurrection,” President Museveni stated.

“Our people knew God before, we call Him Katonda in our language, the creator. But the resurrection, that was new. The message of Jesus to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbour as yourself is very important. That’s a key message.”

The President also revealed that one of his daughters, Patience Rwabogo, is a priest, underscoring his personal connection to the Church and Christian faith.

In response, Pastor Benny Hinn offered an insightful reflection on the nature of life, anchoring it in the person of Jesus Christ.

“Life is not a thing. Life is a person, and His name is Jesus. People talk about plant life, animal life, human life, but truly, it’s a living plant, a living animal, a living human because life itself is only found in Him.”

Pastor Kayanja praised President Museveni for his enduring contribution to Uganda’s liberation and development.

He acknowledged the President’s spiritual support, noting that Uganda may be one of the few countries led by a head of state whose family includes an active preacher of the gospel.

“Thank you, Mzee, for welcoming the anointing the way you did, providing security, transportation, and even your own vehicle for Pastor Benny Hinn,” said Pastor Kayanja.

“You have shown us humility, love for the Church, love for Jesus, and love for Uganda and Africa.”

The meeting concluded with a moment of prayer, as Pastor Hinn interceded for the First Family and the nation, as well as an exchange of gifts between President Museveni and his guests.
