‘Persecuted’ Anglican priest turns Pentecostal

From Uganda-

A senior West Ankole diocese priest, who recently crossed to the Pentecostal church, has been baptized.

Rev. Canon Benon Byamugisha was baptized in the Ekiyanja Ky’omugabe Lake in Mbarara district.

He and other 13 converts from Islam, Roman Catholic and Anglican faiths were baptized by Pastor Norman Mugarura of Daystar cathedral in the presence of the church’s bishop, Nathan Turyamureeba. 

Byamugisha, 54, served as the diocesan health coordinator in the diocese at Bweranyangi in Bushenyi district.

He accused fellow priests in the diocese of persecuting him.

He said he had suffered from a strange ailment that had blocked his digestive system, forcing him into a month of not being able to eat.

But when a Pentecostal pastor, Wilberforce Ssamanya, prayed for him, he “got well”.
