Ngalamye Full Gospel Church together with their sister Full Gospel Church of Nalyamangojja recently concluded a 2-day gospel crusade in Ngalamye, Kabubbu Ward. The event began with a door-to-door preaching on 12th Saturday, followed by an afternoon open air crusade at the church grounds on the first day. Pastor Feeza one of the pastors of Nalyamangojja FGC preached from Ezekiel 7: He highlighted
1) Warnings by Prophet Ezekiel of severe God’s wrath for their persistent disobedience and sinning.
2) Call to people to recognize their sin and turn back to God.
3) Explaining to people for their need for repentance.
4) Practically, the Pastor made people to consider how your actions align with God’s standards and seek His forgiveness for areas of disobedience John 3:16.Revealing to them that they need to evaluate their priorities and assess whether they are placing undue trust in material wealth or earthly security instead of relying on God. Asking the people to turn to God with a repentant heart, knowing that He desires to restore and forgive.
During the crusade on both days participants shared their personal testimonies. A total of 7 believers from the two Full Gospel Churches (men and women) testified of Jesus’s transformative power changed their lives. Some from being drunkards, harlots, no body and other sinful and worldly characters to now noble living.
On Sunday ,13 July 2025, the church held another crusade after their Sunday service.
Gospel praises, worship and open prayers started the crusade followed by evangelical cultural dances from Northern, Western and Central Uganda. Members from different regions of Uganda showcased traditional dances and music that praise God.
Pastor Oketayot David, the church administrator, explained the significance of incorporating culture into evangelism, saying, “The gospel needs to be packaged in an attractive manner to reach many hearts. By recognizing and embracing positive aspects of our cultures, we can effectively reach people for Christ.”
Children Choir Dancers from Nalyamangojja FGC were also given an opportunity to give praise to the lord through contemporary dances. This was a moment of inspiring and inviting children to participate in gospel ministry.
Pastor Charles Nkwiine, the lead pastor, preached about Today being time for God’s favor and His people’s salvation. He based his sermon on 2 Corinthians 6:2. He emphasized that God’s favor signify that the present time is God’s appointed time for reconciliation /salvation. Telling his hearers that preachers like him are ministers of reconciliation representing God. He told the people to receive God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. And when you get born again (saved) don’t receive God’s grace in Vain. He stressed how God’s word warns against taking God’s grace lightly or neglecting the opportunity for salvation, emphasizing the importance of responding with genuine faith and repentance. And if they harken to the warning they will gain understanding that the significance of the present moment of God’s favor is for their spiritual well-being. It brings healing, deliverance, and salvation to them. He finally encouraged believers to embrace the gift of salvation without delay, recognizing that God’s offer is immediate and accessible.
The crusade coincided with the Ngalamye Full Church’s completion of payments for her piece of land, a milestone that prompted celebration and praise among the congregation. Pastor Nkwiine expressed gratitude to their former landlord Mr Robert Semaganda for accepting to sell the piece of land to the Church.
Pastor Peter Kibira of Nalyamangojja Full Gospel Church highlighted the importance of crusades, saying, “As born-again believers, we are charged to preach the gospel. Our Master’s commission in Mathew 28:19 is to make disciples of men and women of all nations. And he explained to people that we organized this Crusade event to fulfill this mandate.”
Another beneficial portion of the crusade was offering free legal counseling to families and individuals by Counsel Jane Namaganda Kibira (Mrs) from Nalyamangojja FGC.
The crusade concluded with prayer for people according their individual needs- sickness, family issues, land issues and educational problems. Church leaders welcomed new believers. The Ngalamye community appreciated the event, and Ngalamye Full Gospel Church plans to continue preaching the gospel in the area. And Ngalamye FGC has scheduled to organize similar crusades at Bukemba- Magigye , Nansaana Municipality on July 26-27 2025 and at Kaawe, Kikyusa Luwero on 16- 17 August 2025.
