The Bishop of Mukono Diocese the Rt. Rev Enos Kitto Kagodo urged Christians in church to try as much as they can to stand firm amidst all the challenges faced during ministry so that they can take on the gospel to all levels.
He mentioned this at St. Andrews church of Uganda in Kisoga Parish in Mpumu Archdeaconry Mukono Diocese where He confirmed over 61 children in the Anglican faith.
During the service, Bishop Kagodo noted that believers go through a lot of challenges during their ministry as other people work for others downfall who he said such people are being used by the devil. He challenged them to stand and believe in the Lord that they serve so that they escape all the traps of the devil.
Kisoga Parish Priest Rev. Samuel Matovu revealed to the Bishop that they introduced the overnight system in their church and it has helped to convert people into Christianity and helping to pray for those in need.
He added that as away of strengthening people’s faith in Christ, they have determined to build a project house to help them continue with the gospel. However, he reported to the Bishop the evil deeds among the people such as murder, and parents who let their children loiter in the society and engage in evil acts which has misled most of them.
In his response towards Rev Samuel’s report, the Bishop called upon the youth to attract their fellow youth into the ministry so that they can desist from the evil acts that turn them into irresponsible citizens. However, he challenged confirmands to be faithful in the lord and serve Him whole heartedly.
Bishop Kitto’ s wife Maama Catherine Kitto commended people in the church for being committed to offering towards the goodness of the church and asked them to continue serving the Lord. She as well called upon women in the church to join the Christian Women’s Fellowship group so that they can continue serving the lord.
During the same service, the Diocesan Secretary Rev. Can John Ssebudde led the fundraising for the Mission truck and Christians were able to contribute over 1 million shillings, and Bishop Kagodo confirmed the parish intercessors.
Bishop Enos Kagodo and Maama Catherine Kitto were accompanied by the Diocesan Secretary Rev. Can. John Ssebudde, and Rev. Captain Wilson Kkonde – Head of Bishop’s Advance Team and also Namataba Parish Priest.
