Our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family, the people of Tooro Kingdom, and the nation of Uganda following the passing of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV.
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted...” - Psalm 34:18
May God comfort all who mourn.
The King has many photos of him, but for many of us born in the 1990s, this remains the most memorable. A 3-year-old King on the throne. His portrait was in our home for years, inspiring children who grew up alongside the King. Condolences to the people of Tooro.
A warm Watoto welcome.
We were honoured to welcome distinguished guests from across Buganda and beyond as we hosted the Thanksgiving Church Service celebrating His Majesty Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II's 33rd Coronation Anniversary.
Thank you for celebrating this historic occasion with us.

Watoto Church to host the Thanksgiving Service for the Kabaka’s 33rd Coronation Anniversary
Watoto Church is honoured to host the Thanksgiving Service for Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II's 33rd Coronation Anniversary. The church prayers will take place on Friday, 31 July 2026 at Watoto Church Bweyogerere.
In a special press conference hosted by the Katikiro of the Kingdom of Buganda, Senior Pastor and Team Leader, Watoto Church Ministries, Pastor Julius Rwotlonyo, expressed gratitude to the Katikkiro and the Kingdom of Buganda for choosing Watoto Church to host the Thanksgiving Service.
"As a church, we welcome every opportunity to give thanks to God. The service will glorify God and honour the Kabaka and people of Buganda. I appreciate the Katikkiro and the organising team for their cooperation throughout the preparation journey,” he said.
The Katikkiro of Buganda, Owek. Charles Peter Mayiga praised Watoto Church's partnership, saying that the event is a milestone that marks Watoto Church as the first evangelical church to host a Thanksgiving Service for the Kabaka.
“It has become our practice to hold prayers for the anniversary celebrations at different places of worship, and this year, it pleased His Majesty, the Kabaka to come to Watoto Church. I am very happy that you agreed to host the service as we pray for the king, the kingdom, and the country. We’re grateful for this partnership and look forward to celebrating God's goodness together,” he said.
The Thanksgiving Service is open to everyone. And as preparations gear up, members of the congregation are invited to pray for a God-honouring service that exalts Jesus Christ; serve and attend the service where possible.

Ronald Ganafa added that he had always been curious and had always enjoyed learning and discovering what was new. Even before AI became popular, he said he spent a lot of time on his phone researching, reading, and keeping up with new developments. He recalled that his father would sometimes ask what productive thing he was doing on his phone all the time, but for him, that was research. He explained that he was teaching himself, staying updated, and building knowledge.
He also noted that someone might begin in one discipline and eventually end up building solutions in a completely different one, and that this was perfectly okay. What mattered most, he said, was one’s willingness to grow, respond to change, and create wherever one found oneself.
Finally, he pointed out that people today have YouTube, AI, and access to knowledge like never before, and he encouraged the audience to use these tools and keep learning.
This pastor decided to skip church one Sunday morning and go play golf.
He told his assistant that he wasn't feeling well. He drove to a golf course in another city, so nobody would know him.
He teed off on the first hole. A huge gust of wind caught his ball, carried is an extra hundred yards and dropped it right in the hole, for a 450 yard hole in one.
An angel looked at God and said "What'd you do that for?" God smiled and said "Who's he going to tell?"
Choose life. Choose eternity.
