This is the only church in Uganda whose expansion all over the world, I fully support.
In this church, the motto is celebrating christ and โcaring for communityโ
Instead of constructing one mega church in Kampala, we construct smaller shelters in various places so that people can worship but above all, every community where Watoto has planted a church has benefitted greatly from the churchโs social economic programs.
We donโt have a Pentagon with 20 floors to worship in, but our gifts are helping 3,000 children in Uganda and SSD get a home, school, food and clothing.
Watoto church is the way modern christianity should be done. The church is aiming at the pain-points of society and working to fix societyโs biggest pains, not just yelling โKitwaleโ every sunday.
I really wish that I had discovered this church earlier nga Nakalokoka.
Other Balakole can learn from us, Donโt preach to Hungry people, feed them first. Donโt preach deliverance to orphans, educate them first.
Thereโs been an attempt to label me an abuser and an irresponsible father.
On being accused of being an abuser:โจI normally choose silence, but there are narratives that must be corrected. So allow me say this; I am part of the unreported statistics of men who experience domestic violence from partners with uncontrolled anger issues. But because โwe are men in a corporate world,โ we stay silent, show up every day. I restrained myself immensely despite all provocations and assaults. But society will, of course, believe the female gender. I have evidence of myself bleeding after being assaulted. All my closest friends, family know this.
On being accused of being an irresponsible father:โจDespite having only seen my children ONCE in the last ten months, I have never stopped sending money monthly, a figure that wasnโt decided by me, but by my accuser. There is evidence of this: messages saying โthank youโ and receipts of the transactions.
I have gone to court, fought, and been granted custody of my children, custody that authorities deliberately failed to enforce (that is a story for another day). Custody was granted on grounds of desertion: the mother had deserted them in a locked apartment with a maid while she was traveling overseas. Since January, I have been denied access to my children, despite numerous requests to seem and third parties intervening.
To men: speak up against violence from your wives when you still have the chance. I suffered in silence for too long. It didnโt help.
This is the last time I am addressing this issue, please give me space to heal.
I think some people just love to appear in the news whether for good or bad reasons.
For instance, what exactly does the Police gain from stopping a duly cleared presidential candidate from holding his campaigns? ๐ค
