To the men and women with whom I served, I say a big thank you.
Together, we scaled the plains of Kitgum, the Kilak Hills of Gulu, the Zoka forests of Amuru, the dense forests of the Congo, the deserts of Somalia, and the vast plains of South Sudan and the Central African Republic, all in search of peace and stability, not only for the people of Uganda, but for our entire region.
Wherever duty called, we went. We answered the call without hesitation.
Today, it is not only Uganda celebrating the peace and stability we helped build. Our neighbours are celebrating too.
To every man and woman who stood beside me through those difficult years, thank you for your courage, sacrifice, loyalty and service.
We served together. We endured together. And together, we made a difference.
Janet Museveni: “Pastor Patience has a strong relationship with God. When we see Pastor Patience going to be consecrated as a Bishop, we cannot thank God enough as a family.”
Today, Maama Janet and I received international evangelist, Bishop Dr. LaDonna C. Osborn at State House Entebbe. She is in Uganda ahead of the consecration of Pastor Patience Rwabwogo as a Bishop.
Dr. Osborn recalled her first visit to Uganda in 1985 with her late mother, who ministered to many Ugandans during a difficult period in our history. Maama Janet also fondly recalled Dr. Osborn’s mother, who prayed with our family and gave our children their first Bibles.
We reflected on Uganda’s transformation over the years and the enduring friendship between the Osborn family and Uganda. I welcome Dr. Osborn back to Uganda and wish Pastor Patience a blessed consecration.
