The Bishop of Diocese of West Ankole Rt. Rev Johnson Twinomujuni has tasked the clergy in the Diocese toembark on planning for establishment of income generating projects in their respective areas.
The Bishop said the Diocese is planning to celebrate 50years of its existence stressing that income generating projects will be one of the ‘yardstick’ to look at.
Church is one of the institutions with big chunks of land that has remained ‘idle’.
Twinomujuni was on Sunday preaching during his pastoral visit to Greater Bushenyi Archdeaconry where he confirmed over 600 Christians. The service took place at Bushenyi play grounds in Bushenyi town.
Twinomujuni also tasked the clergy to put more attention on the young children/generation saying they (clergy) should plan to establish children’s church atleast at every church where there is no space to conduct children’s services.
He advised the clergy to mobilize Christians and well wishers to support the start and completion of church projects.
Twinomujuni appealed to the youth to live a life that is responsible and to be people of purpose. “Don’t intoxicate your bodies with things like drugs and alcohol,” the Bishop advised. He noted that being a true Christian requires one to live a life free from sin, accepting Christ, and living according to His ways.
The Bishop toured a number of projects especially the children’s church that is under construction at Greater Bushenyi church.
Teaching on “Who a Christian is”, Maama Joy Twinomujuni defined a Christian as a follower of Christ, stressing that there are people who call themselves Christians but have parted ways with Christ. She highlighted some characters that a Christian should have that include; Love, Trust, Faithfulness, Humility, and Trustworthiness. End.
