KABALE – The Bishop of the Diocese of Kigezi, the Rt Rev Gaddie Akanjuna has urged Christians across the Diocese to embrace purposeful living as a pathway to everlasting life.

He implored the congregation to infuse their lives with purpose, a beacon that would illuminate their journey alongside Christ.
In his sermon, Bishop Akanjuna also championed a life aligned with God’s grace, beseeching Christians to cultivate practices that nurture a profound connection with the divine.
He tenderly conveyed that God’s mercy and unwavering love await those who anchor their faith, embodying a truth that transcends time.
Bishop Akanjuna’s clarion call echoed throughout the sanctuary as he besought the newly confirmed to undertake a transformative path. This path demanded renouncing sinful ways, seeking divine communion, supporting the church’s mission and its spiritual custodians, engaging in consistent scripture study, fostering fellowship, tending to the vulnerable, and extending compassion to those in need.
