Leadership Dinner

On Wednesday, 80 headteachers, deputy headteachers, chaplains, and Scripture Union patrons gathered for a Leadership Dinner organized by African Evangelistic Enterprise Uganda (AEE-U) in partnership with the Diocese of Mukono.

The event was graced by The Rt. Rev. Enos Kitto Kagodo, who served as the Guest of Honor, alongside Rev. Can. Dr. John Ssenyonyi as the Guest Speaker, and Rev. Can. Paul Wasswa, who represented the AEE-U Board.

In his address, Rev. Ssenyonyi reflected on the meaning of Easter through the lens of death, burial, and resurrection. He emphasized the foundational truth of the Gospel. “If Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.”
(1 Corinthians 15:12–13)

He underscored that Christ’s burial is vital to the Gospel, stating that, “The message is not simply that Jesus rose. It’s that He was raised from the dead. That distinction is essential because without the risen Christ, there is no Gospel. Sin causes death, and to save us from sin, Christ died for our sins. That’s the good news.”

Rev. Canon Edward Balamaze, representing the mission’s steering committee, issued a strong reminder to the leaders in attendance. “Who are the influencers of these young people? It is us, sitting here tonight. To teach is to touch lives forever.”

He further challenged them to take their role seriously, warning that, “We will be judged harshly because we have been given the authority to guide young people, and we must faithfully fulfill that calling.”

The Rt. Rev. Enos Kitto Kagodo expressed his appreciation for AEE-U, saying that, “I’ve heard about AEE-U for a long time, but this is my first time to fully interact with you. Thank you for the work you’ve done in Mukono — many have benefitted from this mission.”

He closed with a heartfelt exhortation to the leaders, “Use your teaching gift to draw many to Christ.”

By the end of the evening, 6 participants gave their lives to Christ, 7 made assurances of salvation, 6 rededicated their lives to Christ.
