Pastor Robert Kayanja, founder of Miracle Centre Cathedral, has called on Ugandans to adopt a mindset of unity, ethical leadership, and development as the nation prepares for the upcoming “Mega Gospel and Leadership Convention,” scheduled for November 12–16, 2025.
Speaking at a press briefing at Rubaga Miracle Centre Cathedral, Pastor Kayanja described the convention as a platform to empower participants with leadership, development, and spiritual growth skills.
The event will bring together local and international leaders to share insights on governance, innovation, and community transformation.
Among the distinguished guests is Dr Paula White-Cain, spiritual adviser to former U
.S President Donald Trump, who will serve as the main speaker, providing guidance on faith-based leadership.
Pastor Kayanja also confirmed that President Museveni will attend, addressing pastors, business leaders, and local government officials on development strategies and poverty eradication programs such as the Parish Development Model (PDM).
“We often see the President teaching about programs like the PDM on television. I requested him to come and speak to us directly—and he graciously accepted,” Pastor Kayanja said.
During the convention, President Museveni is expected to launch a new modern airfield within the church premises, an initiative Pastor Kayanja described as a symbol of innovation and Uganda’s growing capacity for modern infrastructure.
“This airfield will demonstrate that development is not limited to certain regions. It’s possible everywhere in Uganda if we work together,” he emphasized.
The five-day convention will feature international speakers including Major General Daniel York, Commander of the US Army Reserve 76th Division, who will discuss integrity and ethical leadership.
Training sessions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies will explore how innovation can address challenges in healthcare, communication, and infrastructure.
Pastor Kayanja invited teachers, pastors, businesspeople, local government leaders, and community influencers to participate, urging them to take advantage of the knowledge-sharing and networking opportunities.
“This is not just a church gathering; it’s a national empowerment platform. We want Ugandans to think bigger, cooperate more, and prepare for global impact,” he said.
Organizers expect participants from over 30 countries, positioning Uganda as a regional hub for leadership and spiritual transformation.
On Saturday, a business seminar on entrepreneurship and international trade will be held, with proceeds directed to development projects in Karamoja.
Pastor Kayanja assured attendees that adequate security measures would be in place throughout the event and reminded participants to avoid prohibited items to ensure a peaceful experience.
“We want a safe, inspiring, and unifying experience for everyone. This is a time for Ugandans to rise together and embrace positive change,” he concluded.
