Uganda: Museveni Hails Col Nakalema's Late Dad for Combining Faith With Action

President Museveni honors Rev. Eliasaph Sserwadda for his ability to integrate faith with practical work during a memorial service in Mbarara District.

President Museveni delivered a message of tribute to the late Rev. Eliasaph Sserwadda, who is recognized for his exceptional ability to merge spiritual faith with practical service to the community. Rev. Sserwadda, who passed away last year, was a well-respected figure, regarded not only for his religious teachings but also for his expertise in metalwork and fabrication, which contributed to his family's livelihood. This blend of pastoral care and practical skills exemplified his understanding of the dual needs of society: spiritual and material.

The memorial service, attended by prominent figures including the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Thomas Tayebwa, was held in Kanyeganyegye, Kashari, aimed to honor Rev. Sserwadda's contributions and celebrate the construction of a new church in his memory. During the ceremony, the president emphasized that figures like Rev. Sserwadda are vital for communities as they serve both in spiritual and practical realms, providing a role model for future generations and especially for young people.

Museveni's remarks shed light on the importance of such individuals in enhancing community welfare, highlighting that true leadership combines faith with actionable outcomes in society. The tribute aligns with Museveni's broader approach to governance that emphasizes the significance of faith-based initiatives alongside economic development, further motivating citizens to combine their beliefs with tangible contributions to their communities.
