Uganda is a deeply religious country, but I guess you already knew that. Our faith was watered by the blood of the Martyrs over a century ago in 1886 and we have never looked back. Now we are getting an even more exciting religion.

When the Son of Man came among us, He promised to turn those who followed him into fishers of men. And the day they threw away their fishing nets and followed him, they stared harvesting men instead. Of course, a man is more valuable than a fish, so they followed him. And we followed them. Today their cumulative catch is billions of men.
