Pr Mukisa, whose ministry has multiple locations across the central region of Uganda, said on Saturday that the late Archbishop won admiration from people of all walks of life.
Even those that weren’t Christians or under his clerical leadership, Pr Mukisa emphasized.
“He also was known as a developmental leader, who worked to help people experience the Kingdom of God here on earth, and not just prepare them for heaven,” Pr Mukisa said.
Nkoyoyo, at 82, succumbed to pneumonia. He was admitted at Kampala hospital on Monday January 1, 2018 and died last Friday morning, ending a battle against cancer that lasted more than a year, his family told press.
While described his predecessor during a requiem service at All Saints’ Cathedral – Kampala on Sunday, retired Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi said the late Nkoyoyo lived a testimony of the saving hand of God and was never embarrassed to say he was saved.
“His hard work prompted by faith and love taught me to commit myself wholeheartedly to undertaking tasks. I am proud to have been his teammate,” the assistant Bishop of Kampala, Hannington Mutebi, also said.
The late archbishop was taking care of 300 children, 75 of them blind. Nkoyoyo’s eldest son, Isaac Nkoyoyo, asked President Yoweri Museveni to extend support to the family.
