IMPACTFUL GOSPEL: Kyabazinga lauds Radford Baptist Church’s impact on Busoga Kingdom

His Royal Highness (HRH) William Wilberforce Nadiope Gabula IV, the Kyabazinga, cultural ruler of the Busoga Kingdom, has expressed his profound appreciation and assured unwavering support to the Radford Baptist Church from Virginia, US, for their transformative work in the kingdom.

He lauded their efforts in education, healthcare, and spiritual development, emphasizing the positive impact on the community of Buwaidha village located in Buyende district and beyond.

The Kyabazinga’s remarks came during a courtesy visit by a delegation from Radford Baptist Church to his palace at Igenge, Jinja City, on June 11th, 2025.

“We are happy that you are helping us to shape the different communities in Buwaidha. We hope that more people shall come,” the Kyabazinga stated, acknowledging the church’s commitment to the region.

He further emphasized the role of faith in societal improvement, stating, “Through religion you have constructed a church that is growing. We know that through being God fearing, our people shall be morally upright.”

The Kyabazinga noted that the initiative is especially impactful on the youth, fostering positive development and shaping the future generation. “I get the feedback. They are seeing a lot of new development,” he added.

Radford Baptist Church’s primary focus in Buwaidha village, located in Buyende district, has been centered around establishing a strong foundation for education and spiritual growth.

They have built a church and the New Life Schools Buwaidha, a school offering free, high-quality education to disadvantaged children whose families are unable to afford it.

The Kyabazinga himself launched the school in 2023, which initially boasted state-of-the-art infrastructure for pre-primary learners.

He also officiated the groundbreaking for the construction of a new structure designed to accommodate primary and secondary school classrooms, along with essential facilities such as libraries and laboratories, demonstrating the Kingdom’s commitment to the project.

Eng. Gerald Isabirye, a director of New Life Academy, highlighted the initial challenge of low school attendance in the area. “But now, the children in Buwaidha and the neighboring villages come to this school,” he explained, showcasing the positive impact of the academy on the community’s access to education.

During the meeting, the Kyabazinga reiterated his commitment to fostering a strong and lasting partnership with Radford Baptist Church. “We know that as time goes on; we shall further strengthen our relationship into different projects and exchange programs,” he said, envisioning future collaborations.

He also pledged to mobilize his subjects to embrace the messages and initiatives from Radford Baptist Church, further enhancing their livelihoods.

Stephanie Von Rosenberg, the Team Leader of the Radford Baptist Church delegation, outlined the multifaceted support they have provided to the people of Buwaidha over the past four years.

Beyond gospel outreach and education, they have established annual health camps offering crucial medical services. These health camps have addressed prevalent health issues in the community.

“Last year also, we saw a gentleman who was told his hand had to be amputated; he came to our clinic, our nurses saw him and treated him and gave him the medications. His hand is well now. We also have given away many, many free glasses. Everything for free,” Von Rosenberg recounted, highlighting the tangible impact of their healthcare initiatives.

She also shared a heartwarming story of saving a pregnant woman and her twins. “Also, last year was a woman who was pregnant with twins that were breached? We paid for her to have a C-section. And I’m happy to tell you that all three of them are healthy and strong,” she added, illustrating the life-saving support they provide.

This year’s health camp, held on June 10th, 2025, saw over 500 people receive medical attention from the Radford Baptist Church team. Von Rosenberg noted the progress made in addressing health challenges: “There was a red eyes pandemic; this year it was under control. We had enough to solve that.”

Ultimately, Von Rosenberg emphasized that the most significant achievement has been “bringing the gospel to the people of Buwaidha,” solidifying the spiritual foundation for lasting positive change in the community and fostering a strong and lasting relationship with the Busoga Kingdom.

The continued collaboration promises a brighter future for the people of Buwaidha and the wider Busoga Kingdom.
