KAMPALA - There were tears and sorrow at Kawala based Christian Revival Church (CRC)when the founding father and Senior Pastor Augustine Yiga was being laid to rest.

Yiga died on October 28, 2020, in Nsambya Hospital after battling illness for several days.

Commonly known as ‘Abizzayo' meaning one who casts people's bad omens and sends them back to their origin, his second-born son, Pastor Andrew Jengo was declared the heir.

Yiga, in his will suggested his second born son, Jengo (dressed in black) to become the senior pastor of the Church.

By 8:00 am, hundreds of people had lined up outside CRC to pay their last respects to their fallen pastor and security was also tight at the church premises.

Reading the deceased's will, he (Yiga) suggested Jengo become the senior pastor of the Church and urged other pastors to help him out whenever in need.

Yiga also called for unity among the church members.

"I want my son, Jengo to succeed me but please help him whenever in need," Yiga's will read in part.

Jengo speaks to mourners

Jengo applauded the mourners that had comforted him and his family throughout the five days and promised not to let anybody down although his father has passed on.

"Yiga has been my mentor, spiritual and biological father who has left me a very huge task that I must accomplish," Jengo said.

He added, "Many of you may think that the church and ABS television are going to collapse but I want to assure you that I won't let you down and I am going to even work harder than before," he said.
