In a private retreat scheduled for Saturday 6th, August 2016, 1oo and more ‘well-chosen’ Pentecostal pastors from all across Uganda are expected to gather at J&M Hotel located along Entebbe Road, Uganda for spiritual refreshment, to decompress and get deep with God.

Sources close to Ug Christian News report that President Museveni was invited to grace the retreat, organised by Heal The Planet Global Organization, an NGO spearheaded by Kivumbi Earnest Benjamin.

“We separately established that this retreat is aimed at enabling Museveni directly participate in reconciling some of the top city pastors who have been fighting each-other and sometimes going to him to maliciously accuse their rivals,” Earnest told the press.

The retreat will run under the theme, “The Authority of a Church for the Seven mountains of Power; Education, Health, Family, Media business, Politics and Culture.”

“The president knows that these are the 100 most influential born again leaders in the country, and can’t rule himself out of such a gathering because when you meet and interact with them, you have met and interacted with 3m born again Christians we officially have in Uganda, according to UBOS,” he added

Conflicts between pastors, churches are becoming more frequent. Reasons are many and varied. Whatever the causes, pastor-parishioner conflicts are so frequent that they absorb too much time and energy and inhibit God’s work at many levels.
