Under the guidance of Church youth supervisor Jesse Kakenga and six dedicated volunteers, the program focused on imparting valuable life skills and Christian values. The curriculum covered essential topics such as living a Godly life, the significance of obedience to elders and parents, and the importance of proper hygiene and etiquette in daily life.
Mr. Kakenga emphasized the importance of obedience, saying, “As a youth, the least you can do in your early years is obedience, especially to your elders and parents at home.” This message resonated with the young participants, who were encouraged to apply these principles in their interactions with others.
In a special session for the young girls, Miss Eunice Emugge, a senior woman teacher and counselor, shared practical advice on maintaining personal hygiene and presenting oneself responsibly in public. The program’s holistic approach to youth development was evident in its emphasis on both spiritual growth and practical life skills.
The discipleship classes were deemed a resounding success, with participants gaining valuable insights and forming meaningful connections with peers from different backgrounds. The program’s impact was shared with the congregation during Sunday’s service, showcasing the church’s commitment to nurturing the spiritual growth of its young members.
