A Ugandan Pastor, together with several other born-again Christians in the United States, took to the streets of Boston on Saturday to spread the Gospel, and encourage multitudes to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
Pastor Kasibante Charles, who is the vision bearer of House of Inspiration Church – Mutundwe, Kampala proclaimed publicly that God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth fully.
As he continually emphasised that the day of salvation is an urgent call, others held up placards with Bible verses and socked themselves in prayer to and fro the area.
The evangelical initiative come days after a survey revealed that nearly half of millennials (ages 18 to 36) in America “don’t know, don’t care or don’t believe” God exists
The report found that just 26% of Gen X and 16% of millennials believe that when they die, they will go to Heaven only because they confessed their sins and accepted Jesus as their Savior.
The report found that young adults in America are significantly less likely to embrace key traditional biblical teachings, including the nature of God, “original sin”, salvation, creation, life after death, human purpose, and biblical morality.
Moving on, Pastor Kasibante urged that the “Gospel is the power of God unto salvation”, and encouraged listeners to fully embrace the great commission.
“Share the gospel. We are fishers of men,” he said during the Street Evangelism Movement.
“The moment of salvation is now,” he went on.
Like Zacchaeus, a chief tax-collector at Jericho, known primarily for his faith in climbing a sycamore tree to see Jesus (Luke 19:1-10), Pastor Kasibante revealed how every individual is able to live a different, fuller life following an encounter with Jesus.
“Like Zacchaeus, come to Jesus just as you are…. When you make a move and run to Him, He runs to you,” he said.
“Sometimes people think the Gospel is for the poor,” Kasibante stated. “Even when everything is going on well with you, there is something that the Gospel can do that nothing else can. The Gospel will wash you of your iniquity.”
“Some people have gone through the COVID experience, you have lost your loved ones, you have been depressed, you don’t know what to do. [The Gospel is] a message of life, God wants to be apart of your life,” he said.
Boston, which is the capital and most populous city of Massachusetts, has an estimated population of 692,600, and was one of several cities hit hard by COVID-19.
