Lighthouse Television founder, Pastor Bob Nichols and his wife Joy Nichols are this week celebrating their 65th year in marriage.
The couple exchanged their wedding vows in 1954!
Several Christians took to social media on Sunday, 11th August 2019 to commemorate their anniversary with heartfelt congratulatory messages.
Through Calvary Cathedral in Fort Worth – USA and Lighthouse Television (LTV) whose network coverage goes beyond the Capital Kampala, Pastor Nichols and Joy have ministered to multitudes.
The couple also founded Calvary Cathedral International in 1964, just 10 years after their wedding. Since that time Calvary Cathedral has been reaching out to the city of Fort Worth, USA and surrounding areas with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
With an emphasis on faith, hope and love, thousands of people have been led to Christ through this church.
“Praying that they have many more great years together,” Calvary Cathedral said in a statement on Sunday.
Earlier during his visit to Uganda in 2017, Pastor Bob said LTV is not after making financial gains in the country but broadcasting the gospel of Jesus Christ on a daily basis.
“We have invested in Uganda because we believe in her till this very day. I could tell you all the challenges we have been through in the years, but when your faith is in God, when you realize that “I don’t have much but God has everything,” all things are possible to them that believe,” he said then.
“Christian television is not easy. We have invested several million dollars and we thank God for the privilege . Contrary to people’s belief, some [may] gain from Christian television, but that’s not what we came to do in Uganda, we are not here to make money, we are here to spread the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ,” he continued.
“The answer to Uganda becoming greater is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The gospel of Christ is the gospel of love, compassion, healing. The true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is a helping gospel, loving gospel, team work gospel if we all pull together and seek from God to do,” he concluded.
