Africa-Press – Uganda. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Sunday hosted world-renowned evangelist Pastor Benny Hinn at the State Lodge in Nakasero, in a deeply spiritual and reflective meeting centered on the role of Christianity in Africa, national transformation, and prayer for the country.
During the engagement, President Museveni shared his thoughts on the historical and spiritual value Christianity has added to African societies, particularly highlighting the significance of the resurrection message.
“The value addition to Africa by Christianity was the message of resurrection,” President Museveni said.
“Our people knew God before—Katonda, the Creator—but the resurrection, that was new. The message of Jesus to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself is very important. That’s a key message.”
The President also revealed a personal connection to faith by disclosing that one of his daughters is a priest, underscoring his family’s ties to the Church.
In response, Pastor Benny Hinn offered a profound reflection on the essence of life, emphasizing that life itself is rooted in the person of Jesus Christ.
“Life is not a thing. Life is a person, and His name is Jesus,” said Pastor Hinn.
“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.”
Also in attendance was Pastor Robert Kayanja, who expressed gratitude to President Museveni for his long-standing commitment to Uganda’s liberation, development, and spiritual well-being. He acknowledged the President’s support for the Church and religious leaders, especially during Pastor Benny Hinn’s visit.
“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 event concluded with a moment of powerful prayer, as Pastor Hinn interceded for the First Family and the nation. A symbolic exchange of gifts followed, reflecting mutual respect and a shared commitment to spiritual and national growth.
