Kampala, Uganda: Epikaizo Ministries International (EMI) over the weekend held a colourful Cultural Service that fused spirituality, heritage and national reflection, as congregants turned up in traditional attire to celebrate Ugandan culture and receive prophetic guidance on family values and peaceful nationhood.
The service, held on Sunday December 14, 2025, transformed EMI’s grand auditorium into a rich cultural showcase, with worshippers dressed in Busuti, Kanzu and other indigenous garments, underscoring the ministry’s emphasis on faith anchored in cultural identity.
The highlight of the service was a keynote address by Senior Prophet T. J. Collins, who used the occasion to challenge families to reclaim cultural norms as the foundation of moral discipline and national stability.
“Our culture is not a relic of the past; it is the blueprint for our future,” Prophet Collins told the congregation. “Parents must understand that their first ministry is at home. We must teach our children respect, discipline, proper grooming and dignified conduct as passed on by our ancestors.”
The Prophet warned that many of today’s social challenges stem from the gradual erosion of cultural values, urging parents to actively model integrity, responsibility and moral boundaries while guiding children to embrace respectful language, work ethic and reverence for elders.
He described the family unit as the cornerstone of society, stressing that upright citizenship begins with strong cultural grounding within the home.
Call for Peaceful Elections
Against the backdrop of an ongoing national electoral period, Prophet Collins extended his message beyond family life to national unity and peace.
“Epikaizo Ministries International stands for peace. Uganda is bigger than any political party or personal ambition,” he said. “I prophesy peace over this land. We must reject division, violence and intimidation.”
He urged political actors, supporters and citizens to embrace peaceful engagement, mature dialogue and restraint during campaigns, reminding the congregation that national cohesion outweighs partisan interests.
The service concluded with prayers for families, cultural restoration and peaceful elections, reinforcing EMI’s message that faith and culture are inseparable pillars in building a disciplined, prosperous and harmonious Uganda.
