A Powerful Spiritual Encounter at State Lodge
President Museveni Benny Hinn met on Sunday at Nakasero State Lodge for a spiritually significant conversation about Christianity, leadership, and Uganda’s future. This important event brought together Uganda’s president and the globally renowned evangelist to reflect on how faith can shape both personal values and national direction.
President Museveni spoke about Christianity’s impact on African societies. He explained that Africans have long believed in a creator. However, the resurrection message introduced by Christianity brought a unique and transformative idea. “Our people knew God before—Katonda, the Creator—but the resurrection, that was new,” he said. He added that Jesus’ teachings about loving God and one’s neighbor remain essential for moral development.
Pastor Benny Hinn’s Message on Life and Faith
Pastor Benny Hinn responded with a deep insight about the meaning of life. He stated that life is not just a concept—it is a person named Jesus. “People talk about plant life, animal life, human life—but truly, it’s a living plant, a living animal, a living human because life itself is only found in Him.” His message echoed the President’s view that faith brings clarity and purpose to life.
Museveni also revealed a personal detail during the meeting. He shared that one of his daughters is a priest, highlighting the strong connection his family maintains with the Church. This insight made the conversation more intimate and sincere.

Kayanja thanked Museveni for arranging transportation, security, and even offering his personal vehicle for Pastor Hinn’s visit. “Thank you, Mzee, for welcoming the anointing with such humility,” Kayanja said. “You have shown love for the Church, love for Jesus, and love for Uganda and Africa.”
To close the occasion, Pastor Hinn prayed for the First Family and the entire country. The prayer asked for peace, protection, and spiritual growth. Afterward, the leaders exchanged symbolic gifts. This respectful gesture represented their mutual dedication to both spiritual unity and national transformation. The meeting between President Museveni and Benny Hinn highlighted the harmony that can exist between governance and faith. It showed how values like humility and love remain central to effective leadership. Uganda’s progress, both socially and spiritually, continues to benefit from moments like these.
