Uganda’s Pentecostal clergy, led by Presiding Apostle Dr. Joseph Sserwadda of Victory Christian Church, Ndeeba, have launched a nationwide weekly pastors’ altar, bringing together thousands of ministers from across the country in what they describe as a spiritual campaign to pray for the nation’s future.

The inaugural gathering took place on Friday evening at Victory Christian Church in Ndeeba, Kampala, where church leaders emphasized the need for sustained intercession over Uganda’s leadership, economy, and moral direction.

Addressing the congregation of pastors, Dr. Sserwadda revealed that the vision for the weekly altar began after a meeting with Pastor Dissan Kaddu, who shared what he believed was a divine message calling for pastors to unite in prayer. Dr. Sserwadda said he later sought God’s guidance and, after receiving confirmation, concluded that the time had come to mobilize church leaders from across the country.

He had earlier shared the testimony during his popular Ebizimba Okukkiriza programme aired on Dream TV and 98.4 Impact FM, explaining how the burden to establish a national prayer altar had grown stronger over time.
Fellow Pentecostal leader Apostle Charles Tumwine also confirmed receiving a similar divine instruction several months earlier. Speaking at the launch, Tumwine said the conviction was so strong that he postponed his annual ministers’ conference in obedience to what he believed God had directed him to do.

Tumwine recounted that God spoke to him in the same room where he had miraculously recovered from a life-threatening battle with COVID-19. He said the purpose of the national pastors’ altar is to seek God’s intervention so that Uganda’s leadership, economy, and future “do not go to the dogs.”

The clergy expressed concern over what they described as increasing corruption, moral decay, and other societal challenges facing the country. They said the weekly prayer gatherings are intended to seek God’s mercy, promote national transformation, and intercede for Uganda’s peace, righteousness, and prosperity.

Dr. Sserwadda announced that the National Pastors’ Altar will now be held every week, providing a regular platform for pastors from different denominations to unite in prayer for the nation.
The launch attracted thousands of pastors and church leaders from various parts of Uganda, marking what organizers described as the beginning of a nationwide spiritual movement focused on national revival and restoration.
