Ugandan News Media has been awash with stories of high profile Pastors in Uganda’s Evangelical Church accused of Sodomy and Child Molestation. The latest case has been Pastor Isaac Kiwewesi of Kansanga Miracle Center (www.kmc.ug) who has been accused of sodomizing a church member.
Mr Arinaitwe, who says he was employed at Kansanga Miracle Centre from 2002, has filed a case with Kabalagala Police Station alleging that Pastor Kiwewesi sodomised him between 2006 and 2007 and promised to pay him Shs3 million. “He used me until 2007 when he got married. He promised me Sh3 million for my parents and said he would send me to the US to stay there with his cousin,” he told Daily Monitor on Monday.
Mr Arinaitwe also accuses Pastor Kiwewesi of harassment and threatening him with death after learning that he was coming out with the “secret”. The OC of Kabalagala Police Station, Ms Dorothy Awori, said police are investigating the matter. http://www.monitor.co.ug/artman/publish/regional-special/Pastor_Kiwewesi_denies_sodomy_allegations_72442.shtml
According to the local press, the Prosperity Pastor is currently under investigations and was summoned to the local police station with a warrant of arrest issued against him as he had objected to the summons.
Pastor Kiwewesi is a pastor of a large Mega Prosperity Church in Kansanga, a suburb of Kampala, Uganda’s capital. His Church is an offspring of the Rubaga Miracle Center Cathedral, one of the largest Mega Churches in Uganda, Pastured by Robert Kayanja who frequents as guest speaker of TBN’s Praise The Lord, and has himself over the years been rumored to be engaged in Homosexuality. It is Kayanja who hosted such TBN celebrities as Creflo Dollar and Benny Hinn. (www.kayanja.org)
It is interesting to note that Robert Kayanja the Senior Pastor of Kiwewesi is associated with and close to Paul Crouch who in recent years was accused of Sodomy and had to settle the law suit against him out of court. Another associate of Pastor Kayanja and had ministry ties to Kiwewesi was Pastor Kitaka who was exposed in the local press after sodomizing a teenager. All these Pastors frequent California…

Another story took Uganda’s Evangelical Church by storm when it was reported that a Famous Prosperity Pastor Jackson Ssenyonga was arrested in the USA for molesting a teenage girl on the plane to California… Jackson Ssenyonga Pastors the largest Mega Church in Kampala City with members estimated to 20,000 plus...

Pastor Jackson Ssenyonga, the senior pastor of Christian Life Centre was arrested last Saturday for allegedly molesting a 13-year-old girl while on a flight in the United States of America (USA). The Contra Costa Times newspaper in the US reported that Sheriff's deputies (American policemen) apprehended Past Ssenyonga at Oakland International Airport accused of molesting the girl on a flight that originated in Denver to Oakland.

These stories though in some cases inflated by the local press and tabloids in particular, are factual as the victims are real. In Africa, the Law enforcement suffers from corruption and often the offenders go unpunished. Pastors use this weakness to bribe law enforcement out of serious crimes like sodomy.
Many folks from The West, Apostasy seems to be defined only in Western Countries and it is very difficult for such individuals to phantom the idea that the Church in general, globally is experiencing apostasy. However, with the advent of telecommunication and faster transportation, sin, evil, and apostasy in the church seem to be evident every where around the globe. Apostasy has become global. If there is an instance of Apostasy you can name in the West, be sure you will find it in some other country that clinches on Western Ideology.
The Church in Africa has not been immune to sin and apostasy. Just like in the West, The Love of money has been a source of all kinds of evil in the African Church. Almost all types of vices associated with apostasy in the Western Church are clearly visible in the African Church especially in Uganda, a country though very poor yet fancies in the Hollywood type of lifestyles especially among the “African Middle Class”.

What this means is that as the secular “African Middle Class” grows and yearns for more of Hollywood and pomp lifestyles, the ‘spiritual’ “African Middle Class” seeks for counterparts in the West to satisfy the desire for more materialism but using the Gospel as a means to cover the nakedness and shame associated with such a vice in the midst of people without.
So, the prosperity gospel has been a vehicle through which greed can be fully exercised without the fear of guilt from the poor whose silence by what they see is an indictment to the “African Middle Class” – their irresponsibility in caring for the poor. You often hear statements like, “give all you have to the Pastor and God will take away your poverty…” The Pastor then ends up living in a Million Dollar Mansion and driving a Hummer – in Africa, in the midst of very poor and malnourished people.
Ugandan Pastors normally frequent Western Capitals in search for “Donations” and “Sponsors” to help build large churches – Mega Churches in Uganda. It is in this search for money that many fall prey to Sodomites and Pedophiles in the West who use Christianity as Cover.
When the Ugandan Pastor returns to Africa, they begin to prey on their congregations by Sodomizing and committing acts of Pedophilia to the young. Such vices are not only sanctioned to the Western Church but now the African Church has to deal with them. The believers in Africa have not only had their little resources stolen by Prosperity Preachers but now are sodomised and molested by those who claim to represent Christ. Western Christians continue to give to such ministers so as to report big numbers in their yearly budgets. My prayer is that you will stop supporting such conmen, thieves, thugs, robbers, sodomites, pedophiles who pretend to represent Christ but don't!
