Mutabani wammwe azaaliddwa omulundi ogwokubiri… Neekasudde ku Kristo.
Andrew Murray yazaalibwa nga 9 Maayi 1828 mu Graaff-Reinet, akabuga ak'oku nsalo ak'enfuufu mu Koloni ya Cape, mu maka agaali gamaze okujjula okusaba. Kitaawe, omuweereza Omuskoti eyatumibwa Ekkanisa y'e Scotland, yalina empisa ey'olubeerera ey'okusomera amaka ge ebyafaayo by'okuzuukuka era ng'asaba, wiiki ku wiiki, nti Katonda afuke Omwoyo we ku Afirika ey'Obukiikaddyo. Andrew yakulira ng'awulira okusaba okwo ku kyoto ky'amaka, era wadde eky'okuddamu kyandiwiddeyo ekiseera ekiwanvu okutuuka, kyandizze ng'ayita mu mwana eyafukamira okumpi ne kitaawe oyo. Nnyina, Maria Susanna Stegmann, olulyo lwe lwava mu banoonyi b'obubudamu Abahuguenoti Abafalansa n'Abaluteeri Abagirimaani, ng'olwo mu misuwa gy'omulenzi mwe mwakulukuta ekijjukizo ky'amawanga abiri agaali gabonyeebonye olw'okukkiriza kwabwe.
Omulenzi Eyaweerezebwa Emitala w'Ennyanja
Ng'alina emyaka kkumi, mu Julaayi 1838, Andrew ne mukulu we John baaweerezebwa emitala w'ennyanja okugenda e Scotland okusomera e Aberdeen, nga bakola olugendo oluwanvu wansi w'obulabirizi bwa Omuweereza ne Mukyala James Archbell, era nga basula ne kojjaabwe, Omuweereza John Murray, eyalabirira okutendekebwa kwabwe. Kyali kizibu okuteeka abalenzi babiri abato ku meeri okugenda ku kitundu ky'ensi ekirala nga tobaddayo kubalaba nate okumala emyaka, era okwawukana kuno ne kubanyigiriza. Naye Scotland yawaayo nga bwe yaggyako. Mu biseera by'obutiti bwa 1840, omubuulizi w'okuzuukuka William C. Burns yajja e Aberdeen, era abalenzi ne bamulaba nga bali kumpi omuntu okubuulira kwe n'engeri ye yonna ey'obulamu kwali kuweereddwayo eri Katonda; akabonero Burns ke yaleka ku Andrew omuto ne kafuuka kamu ku bintu ebyabumba obulamu bwe. Ab'oluganda baasikibwa mu mukutu gw'okuzuukuka okw'okwenjiriza okwali kunyeenya ensi mu kiseera ekyo, nga bassa omukka gwe gumu n'abasajja nga Robert Murray M'Cheyne ne Horatius Bonar, era bombi ne baweebwa diguli zaabwe mu Marischal College e Aberdeen mu 1845. Okuva awo ne bagenda mu Yunivasite y'e Utrecht mu Budaaki okusoma theeyologiya, ne beegatta ku Het Réveil, ekibiina ky'okuzuukuka eky'Abapolotesitanti ekyeteekawo okwolekagana n'amagezi amakalu ag'ekkanisa ey'Ekidaaki era nga kissa ekitiibwa ku kukyusa, obutukuvu obw'omunda, n'eddiini ey'okukwatibwako mu mutima.
Wadde nga yakulira mu kutya Katonda, Murray teyeewaana ku ddiini ye ye. Okusinziira ku bye yannyonnyola yennyini, mu kusooka yali agenderedde obuweereza ng'omulimu ogw'ekitiibwa okusinga ng'ekikolwa eky'okukkiriza. Kyali mu myaka gy'e Utrecht okukkiriza kwe kwennyini we kwatuukira ku bukakafu obunywevu, era n'awandiikira eka ku nkyukakyuka eyo n'obwangu bw'omuntu eyamanya enjawulo wakati w'enzikiriza esikiddwa n'okwewaayo okw'obuntu.
Mutabani wammwe azaaliddwa omulundi ogwokubiri… Neekasudde ku Kristo.
— Andrew Murray, mu bbaluwa eri bazadde be okuva e Utrecht
Enkyukakyuka yali ya buziba okusinga okusalawo kumu; ne kifuuka ennyonta ey'obulamu bwonna ey'okubeera mu maaso ga Katonda, eyakwatibwa mu kusaba kwe kwennyini nti tewaba dakiika n'emu ey'obulamu bwange ekumalibwa ebweru w'ekitangaala, okwagala, n'essanyu by'okubeerawo kwa Katonda. Nga 9 Maayi 1848, ku lunaku lw'amazaalibwa ge ag'amakumi abiri, ye ne mukulu we baawongebwa Akakiiko ak'e Hague ak'Ekkanisa ey'Ekidaaki ery'Enkyukakyuka, ne bakyusa amaaso gaabwe okudda e Afirika, okudda eka.
Obuweereza obw'oku Mbalaasa
Obuvunaanyizibwa bwe obw'olubereberye bwali Bloemfontein, ekitundu ekyali si kabuga wabula kifo — nga mayiro emitwalo kkumi ez'enkulungo, nga kigaziwa okusukka Emigga Orange ne Vaal. Ng'ateekebwawo mu 1849 ng'alina emyaka amakumi abiri mu gumu gyokka, n'afuuka omuweereza asooka okusenga mu bukiikakkono bwa Mugga Orange, ng'avunaanyizibwa ku bibiina bya Voortrekker ebyali bisaasaanye mu bbanga eddene era eritaliimu nguudo. Yeebagala embalaasa okumala wiiki nga takoma okutuuka mu maka ag'obwesulu, ng'abatiza, ng'ayigiriza katekisimu, ng'agatta mu bufumbo, ng'aziika, era ng'abuulira abantu abaali batasobola kulaba muweereza nate okumala omwaka; mu kiseera kimu eky'emyaka ebiri egyaddiriragana yabatiza abaana abasukka lukaaga. Aba-trekker ne bajja okwesiga omuweereza omuto ekisinga emmeeme zaabwe, era n'ayimirira wamu nabo ng'omukwano era omutabaganya mu nkkaanya zaabwe ez'okwesalulwa mu bufuzi bw'Abangereza. Bwali buweereza obw'entebe y'embalaasa n'obw'omu ttale erigazi, era ne bumuyigiriza mangu nti omulimu gwali gwa Katonda so si gugwe ye.
Nga 2 Julaayi 1856 yawasa Emma Rutherford mu Cape Town, obufumbo obw'okwagala okw'obuziba era okw'olubeerera obwandibawadde abaana kkumi na omu, mwenda ku bo ne batuuka ku bukulu. Oluvannyuma, mu 1860, ne wajja enfuula y'obulamu bwe. Murray yakkiriza okuyitibwa okugenda e Worcester, era eyo n'atambulira butereevu mu ky'okuddamu ky'okusaba kwa kitaawe okw'emyaka mingi.
Okuzuukuka kwa 1860
Okuzuukuka kwa 1860 tekwatandika na Murray. Ku ttaka okumpi ne Worcester, akakuŋŋaana k'abakkiriza baali bakuŋŋaana buli wiiki okumala emyezi, nga basaba olw'okufukibwa kw'Omwoyo; omukazi omu mu bo yali yeeraliikiridde nnyo n'okutuusa lwe yasaba awatali kukoma okumala wiiki. Omwoyo bwe yagwa, yagwa n'amaanyi agakyusa ennono zonna ez'ekyamagezi ez'okusinza kw'Ekkanisa ey'Ekidaaki. Murray yennyini, ng'akulembera kimu ku bibiina ebyali bwe bityo, yawa ebiragiro bye eby'obwegendereza era n'akoowoola abantu okusaba omu ku omu — naye mu kifo ekyo ekibiina kyonna ne kimenyeka amangu mu kusaba okw'omu kiseera kimu ng'abantu bakaaba nga basaba okusaasirwa. Murray bwe yagezaako okuzza obutebenkevu, omu ku balimi yamugamba butereevu nti yeeye wabbali: teri muntu asobola okuzimba bbugwe ku ekyo Katonda kye yali akola. Kyali kisomo omuweereza omuto ow'obutebenkevu n'obwegendereza kye yakwata ku mutima. Yayiga okuggyako emiguwa mu ngalo ze, era Katonda n'amukozesa okulunda okuzuukuka kwe yali tasobola kutonda era kwe yali tasobola kuzikiza.
Okuva mu kuzuukuka okwo ne wajja Murray omuwandiisi. Okulabirira kwe okw'obuweereza olw'omuwendo omunene ennyo ogw'abakyusibwa abapya, okweraliikirira kwe nti okwagala kwabwe okw'olubereberye kuleme kunnyogoga kufuuke mpisa busa, ne kumusindika okuwandiika Abide in Christ — okusooka mu Ludaaki nga Blijf in Jezus — era mu kyo n'afuna omusuwa gwe yandikoledde ekiseera kye ekyasigala kyonna. Okuva e Worcester yagenda mu Groote Kerk ey'e Cape Town mu 1864, ng'ayimirira eyo okwolekagana n'omuyaga ogwali gulinnya ogw'obuliberali obw'ekyamagezi, ne mu 1871 n'agenda e Wellington, gye yasenga okumala ekiseera ekisinga obuwanvu era ekisinga ebibala mu buweereza bwe, emyaka amakumi asatu mu etaano ku kituuti kimu.
Wellington n'Okwolesebwa Okugaziwa
Wellington ne kifuuka ekisiga eky'okwolesebwa kwe okugaziyiddwa. Ekkanisa ye yamanya omuwendo gwe: emirundi mukaaga mu myaka Ekkanisa ey'Ekidaaki ey'Enkyukakyuka mu Afirika ey'Obukiikaddyo yamuyita okuweereza ng'omukulembeze (moderator) wa Sinodi yaayo, era abasajja batono abaakola nnyo nga ye okukyusa ekibiina ekyo ekyali kyetunuulira munda kifuuke ekkanisa ey'obuminsani. Ng'alina obukakafu nti ekkanisa erina okukyukira ebweru, yafuba okutandikawo ebitongole ebyandimuwangaalidde. Mu 1874, ng'akubirizibwa omulimu gwa mubereberye ogw'omuyigiriza Omumerika Mary Lyon, yatandikawo Essemeneri ya Huguenot olw'okuyigiriza okwa Kikristo okw'abakazi, ng'aggya abayigiriza baayo okuva e Amerika; ng'ekisimbye emirandira mu kusaba, essomero ne likula ne lifuuka Huguenot University College era likyabeerawo ne leero nga Huguenot College, nga likyagenda mu maaso n'okutendeka abaweereza b'Ekikristo n'abakulembeze b'omu bantu. Ng'omu ku bantu b'akakiiko k'ekkanisa ye ak'obuminsani obw'ebweru, yakuŋŋaanya ensimbi okutandikawo ebibiina bisatu mu Wellington mu 1877 — Omukago gw'Abaweereza ogw'Obuminsani, Omukago gwa Bayibuli n'Okusaba, ne Ligi y'Obuminsani obw'Abalaayiki — era mu 1889, wamu ne Martha Osborn ne Spencer Walton, yayamba okutondawo Misoni Enkalakkalira ey'Afirika ey'Obukiikaddyo, omulimu ogwabawangaala bonna, ne gufuuka Africa Evangelical Fellowship mu 1965 era ne gwegatta ku SIM International mu 1998.
Ekkalaamu ye teyawummulako. Okutuuka ku nkomerero yali awandiise ebitabo, obujulizi, n'okubuulira ebisukka mu 240 — ku kusaba okusinga omutwe gwonna omulala, naye era ku kwatula ebibi, ku kumanya okusiima kwa Katonda, ku bumu obwa buli lunaku ne Katonda, ku buwanguzi bw'Ekikristo — nga byawandiikibwa mu Lungereza ne mu Ludaaki era ne bivvuunulwa mu nnimi ezisukka mu kkumi n'ettaano, okutuusa okusinza kwe okusirifu okw'Oluafirikaana we kwasomerwa mu buli ssemazinga. Okuwandiika kwe okusinga obulungi kwakula okuva mu liiso ly'omubuulizi ery'okulaba ekyokulabirako ekiramu. Mu kyeya kya 1898 yafuna ekikonge ky'omuzabbibu ekya kitaka, era okuva mu kufumiitiriza okuwanvu ku kyo n'awandiika The Mystery of the True Vine, ng'akiwaayo eri Abakristaayo abalwana mu nsi yonna; okutuusa lwe kyafulumizibwa, ekikonge ekikadde kyali kimuyigirizza essomo eddala, era n'awandiika The Fruit of the Vine oluvannyuma lwakyo.
Obwetoowaze, ekifo eky'okwesiga Katonda okutuukiridde, kiri, olw'obutonde bw'ebintu byennyini, omulimu ogw'olubereberye n'empisa ey'oku ntikko ey'ekitonde, era omulandira gwa buli mpisa.
— Andrew Murray, Humility
Ebigezo n'Emyaka egy'Okusirika
Okukkiriza kwe tekwalekebwa awatali bigezo byakwo, era teyeefuula nga si bwe kiri. Mu 1879 emimiro gye ne gimulemera; yafiirwa eddoboozi lye n'ayingira mu kye yayita «emyaka gye egy'okusirika», emyaka ebiri omubuulizi mwe yali tasobola kubuulira. N'okuwandiika kwennyini ne kufuuka omulimu, kale n'awa mukyala we ne muwala we okufumiitiriza kwe okuwandiika — era ku nkomerero ya buli kumu yakunja emikono gye, n'azibiriza amaaso ge, era n'asaba ennyiriri ez'enkomerero mu ddoboozi ery'omu waggulu nga tegannawandiikibwa, ng'ebitabo bye bwe bikoma awo omutima gwe we gwakoma, mu kusaba. Yanoonya abo abaayigiriza theeyologiya y'okuwonya okw'obwakatonda, era mu 1882 yatambula okutuuka mu nnyumba y'okukkiriza mu London, gye yakomawo ng'alina obukakafu nti okuwonya kwali mu mulimu gwa Kristo ogw'okununula, era n'azzibwawo ku kituuti kye. Wabula teyafuula okuwonya kwe muggo gw'okukuba abalwadde, wadde okugaana obujjanjabi obwa bulijjo. Oluvannyuma, mu 1893, akabenje k'ekigaali ekisikibwa embalaasa mu Natal ne kamuleka n'omugongo ogwafumitibwa emirembe gyonna n'omubiri ogwagonda; mu myaka gye egy'enkomerero emirundi mingi yabuuliranga ng'atudde, omusajja omukadde eyeekunja ku bulwadde bwe naye nga tasirisibwa.
Kyali kuva mu kimu ku biseera ebyo eby'obulumi Murray we yaleka ekkanisa ekigambo kye eky'okubuulirira ekyasinga okwagalibwa. Mu 1895, ng'awummuliddemu mu nnyumba ya mukwano gwe mu Wimbledon, ng'alina obulumi obw'omubiri era ng'afumitiddwa ekiro ekyayita ebbaluwa enkambwe eyalumba okuyigiriza kwe, yaddira ekkalaamu n'awandiika akawandiiko, si ka kufulumizibwa, wabula ka mmeeme ye ye.
Ekisooka, Ye yandeeta wano; kiri lwa kusiima kwe nga ndi mu kifo kino ekifunda: mu ky'amazima ekyo mwe nnaawummulira. Ekiddako, anankuuma wano mu kwagala kwe, era ampe ekisa okwetwala ng'omwana we. Oluvannyuma, alifuula ekigezo omukisa, ng'anjigiriza amasomo g'ateekateeka nga njiga, era ng'akola munda yange ekisa ky'agenderera okumpa. Ku nkomerero, mu kiseera kye ekirungi ayinza okunziya nate — engeri n'ekiseera, Ye amanyi.
— Andrew Murray, «Mu Kiseera ky'Ennaku Gamba», nga kyawandiikibwa e Wimbledon, 1895
Ekisenge eky'Omunda
Empisa eyali wansi wa byonna yali kusaba. Murray — ayitibwa abamu omuyizi omukulu ow'essomero lya Kristo ery'okusaba — yayigiriza nti okusaba kiri, mu kiseera kimu, ekintu ekisinga obwangu omwana ky'ayinza okukola era omulimu ogw'oku ntikko omuntu gw'ayinza okulinnyako, era n'akola kye yayigiriza, ng'akuuma «ekisenge eky'omunda» eky'okusaba okw'ekyama ng'ensibuko buli kimu ekirala mwe kyakulukutira. Yagolokoka okusisinkana Katonda nga tannasisinkana bantu, era n'abuulirira abalala nti okumanya engeri y'okwogera ne Katonda kintu kinene okusinga okumanya engeri y'okwogera n'omuntu.
Wadde nga mu ntandikwa yakwo okusaba kwangu nnyo n'omwana omunafu asobola okusaba, mu kiseera kimu gwe mulimu ogw'oku ntikko era omutukuvu ennyo omuntu gw'ayinza okulinnyako.

Obusika
Andrew Murray yafiira e Wellington nga 18 Janwali 1917, mu mwaka gwe ogw'ekinaana mu mwenda, ng'awangadde emyaka egisukka amakumi ataano oluvannyuma lw'okuzuukuka okwamubumba, era ng'awadde ekkanisa olubaawo lw'ebitabo ebikyayigiriza abakkiriza okusigala, okwetoowaza, n'okusaba. Obuyinza bwe bwagenda wala okusinga ekibiina kye ye: abasomi ab'enjawulo nga Watchman Nee mu China ne Jessie Penn-Lewis mu Wales baanywa nnyo okuva mu kuyigiriza kwe ne bakutwala mu maaso mu nkyukakyuka zaabwe ez'awamu. Teyasaba kujjukirwa nga muntu mukulu; okuwandiika kwe kwennyini kwanyweza awatali kukoowa ekintu ekyawukanako — nti ekitiibwa ky'ekitonde bwe butaliimu bwakyo, era nti mmeeme yokka eyeeyabuluza yennyini y'ereka Katonda nga wa ddembe okuba byonna. Ebifaananyi bye biyimiridde mu Wellington ne ebweru wa Groote Kerk mu Cape Town, naye ekijjukizo eky'amazima ekisinga gwe musajja afukamidde, wonna mu nsi, aggula kimu ku bitabo ebitono ebya Murray n'ayiga nate okugamba nti, «Mukama waffe, tuyigirize okusaba».

Ebiwandiiko ku Andrew Murray (5)
Ebibuuzo n'Eby'okuddamu
Andrew Murray yava wa, era emirandira gye gyali gya wa?
Andrew Murray yazaalibwa nga 9 Maayi 1828 mu Graaff-Reinet, akabuga ak'oku nsalo mu Koloni ya Cape mu Afirika ey'Obukiikaddyo, mu maka ag'Ekkanisa ey'Ekidaaki ery'Enkyukakyuka agaali gatya Katonda. Kitaawe yali muweereza Omuskoti eyatumibwa Ekkanisa y'e Scotland, eyasomeranga amaka ge ebyafaayo by'okuzuukuka era n'asaba okumala emyaka nti Katonda afuke Omwoyo we ku Afirika ey'Obukiikaddyo. Nnyina, Maria Susanna Stegmann, yava mu banoonyi b'obubudamu Abahuguenoti Abafalansa n'Abaluteeri Abagirimaani, bwe kityo ennono bbiri ez'Abapolotesitanti ezaayigganyizibwa ne zisisinkana mu kukuzibwa kwe.
Murray yasomera wa, era okukkiriza kwe kwafuuka kukwe ddi?
Ng'alina emyaka kkumi, ye ne mukulu we John baaweerezebwa emitala w'ennyanja e Scotland, ne basomera mu Aberdeen era ne baweebwa diguli zaabwe mu Marischal College mu 1845, oluvannyuma ne bagenda mu Yunivasite y'e Utrecht mu Budaaki okusoma theeyologiya. Mu Aberdeen omubuulizi w'okuzuukuka William C. Burns yamuleetako akabonero akazito, ate mu Utrecht n'asikibwa mu Het Réveil, ekibiina ky'okuzuukuka eky'Abapolotesitanti ekyali kyolekagana n'amagezi amakalu ag'omu kiseera ekyo. Mu myaka egy'e Utrecht eddiini gye yasikira mwe yafuukira okwewaayo okw'obuntu, era n'awandiikira eka nti: "Mutabani wammwe azaaliddwa omulundi ogwokubiri… Neekasudde ku Kristo."
Obuweereza bwe obw'olubereberye ng'akyali muweereza muto bwali butya?
Ng'awongeddwa mu 1848 ku lunaku lw'amazaalibwa ge ag'amakumi abiri, Murray yatandika obuvunaanyizibwa bwe obw'olubereberye e Bloemfontein mu 1849, n'afuuka omuweereza asooka okusenga mu bukiikakkono bwa Mugga Orange. Ekitundu kye kyali si kabuga wabula ttaka eryenkana square miles nga kasiriivu kikumi, era yeebagalanga embalaasa okumala wiiki nga takoma okutuuka mu maka ag'obwesulu, ng'abatiza, ng'agatta mu bufumbo, ng'ayigiriza katekisimu era ng'aziika. Mu kiseera kimu eky'emyaka ebiri egyaddiriragana yabatiza abaana abasukka lukaaga.
Murray yakola ki mu kuzuukuka kwa 1860?
Okuzuukuka kwatandika nga tannabaawo, mu lukuŋŋaana lw'okusaba ku ttaka okumpi ne Worcester, abakkiriza gye baali beegayiririra okumala emyezi olw'okufukibwa kw'Omwoyo. Ng'akulembera olumu ku nkuŋŋaana ezo, omuweereza omuto ow'obwegendereza yawa ebiragiro ebirongoofu, naye ekibiina kyonna ne kimenyeka amangu mu kusaba okw'omu kiseera kimu, ng'abantu bakaaba nga basaba okusaasirwa; bwe yagezaako okuzza obutebenkevu, omu ku balimi yamugamba butereevu nti tewali muntu asobola kuzimba bbugwe okwetooloola ekyo Katonda kye yali akola. Murray kino yakikwata ku mutima, n'ayiga okulunda okuzuukuka kwe yali tasobola kutonda era kwe yali tasobola kuzikiza.
Andrew Murray yatuuka atya ku kuwandiika ebitabo ebingi bwe bityo?
Okuwandiika kwe kwava butereevu mu kuzuukuka kwa 1860: ng'yeeraliikirira nti omujaguzo gw'abakyusibwa abapya guleme kuleka kwagala kwabwe okw'olubereberye kunnyogoga ne kufuuka empisa obumpisa, yawandiika Abide in Christ, okusooka mu Ludaaki nga Blijf in Jezus. Mu kyo mwe yasanga omusuwa gwe yakolera obulamu bwe bwonna obwasigalawo, era ku nkomerero yali awandiise ebitabo, okubuulira n'obujulizi ebisukka mu 240, ebyavvuunulwa mu nnimi ezisukka mu kkumi n'ettaano. Okuwandiika kwe okusinga obulungi kwakuuma eriiso ly'omubuulizi ery'okulaba ekyokulabirako ekiramu, nga bwe kyali ekikonge ky'omuzabbibu ekikunukkiriza kye yafuna mu 1898 bwe kyafuuka The Mystery of the True Vine.
Murray yayigiriza ki ku kusaba n'okubeera mu Kristo?
Okusaba kwe kwali empisa eyali omulandira gw'obulamu bwe bwonna era omutwe gwe yaddiŋŋananga okusinga gwonna omulala, era yakuumanga "ekisenge eky'omunda" eky'okusaba okw'ekyama ng'ensibuko buli kimu ekirala mwe kyakulukutira. Yakwatako nti okusaba kiri, mu kiseera kimu, ekintu ekisinga obwangu omwana ky'ayinza okukola era omulimu ogw'oku ntikko omuntu yenna gw'ayinza okulinnyako: "Wadde nga mu ntandikwa yakwo okusaba kwangu nnyo n'omwana omunafu asobola okusaba, mu kiseera kimu gwe mulimu ogw'oku ntikko era omutukuvu ennyo omuntu gw'ayinza okulinnyako." Ku bwetoowaze, eddoboozi eritambula n'okuyigiriza okwo, yawandiika nti gwe "mulimu ogw'olubereberye n'empisa ey'oku ntikko ey'ekitonde, era omulandira gwa buli mpisa."
Kituufu nti Murray yali afiiriddwa eddoboozi lye okumala emyaka ebiri?
Kituufu. Awo nga mu 1879 emimiro gye ne gimulemera n'ayingira mu kye yayita "emyaka gye egy'okusirika", emyaka nga ebiri omubuulizi mwe yali tasobola kubuulira. N'okuwandiika kwennyini kwali mulimu muzibu, kale n'awa mukyala we ne muwala we okufumiitiriza kwe okuwandiika, era ku nkomerero ya buli kumu yakunjanga emikono gye, n'azibiriza amaaso ge, era n'asaba ennyiriri ez'enkomerero mu ddoboozi ery'omu waggulu nga tegannawandiikibwa. Oluvannyuma yanoonya abo abaayigirizanga okuwonya okw'obwakatonda, n'atambula okutuuka mu nnyumba y'okukkiriza mu London mu 1882, era n'addayo ku mimbari gye ng'alina obukakafu nti okuwonya kuli mu mulimu gwa Kristo ogw'okununula.
Murray yayolekagana atya n'ebiseera bye eby'obulumi n'obuzibu?
Akabenje k'eggaali mu Natal mu 1893 kaamuleka n'omugongo ogwafumitibwa emirembe gyonna n'omubiri ogwagonda, ne kiba nti mu myaka gye egy'enkomerero emirundi mingi yabuuliranga ng'atudde, ng'yeekunze ku bulwadde bwe naye nga tasirisibwa. Mu 1895, ng'awummuliddemu mu nnyumba ya mukwano gwe mu Wimbledon, ng'alina obulumi obw'omubiri era ng'afumitiddwa ekiro ekyayita ebbaluwa enkambwe eyalumba okuyigiriza kwe, yaddira ekkalaamu n'awandiika akawandiiko ak'ekyama ku lwa mmeeme ye ye. Kaatandika nti: "Ekisooka, Ye yandeeta wano; kiri lwa kusiima kwe nga ndi mu kifo kino ekifunda: mu ky'amazima ekyo mwe nnaawummulira," era ne kafuuka ekimu ku bigambo by'okubuulirira mu buzibu ekkanisa by'esinga okwagala.
Murray yakola ki ku lw'obuminsani n'okuyigiriza okw'Ekikristo?
Ng'ayitiddwa emirundi mukaaga okukulembera Sinodi y'Ekkanisa ey'Ekidaaki ery'Enkyukakyuka mu Afirika ey'Obukiikaddyo, yakola kinene okukyusa ekibiina ekyali kyetunuulira munda kifuuke ekkanisa ey'obuminsani. Mu 1874, ng'akubirizibwa omuyigiriza Omumerika Mary Lyon, yatandikawo Essemeneri ya Huguenot olw'okuyigiriza okwa Kikristo okw'abakazi mu Wellington, omulimu ogukyabeerawo ne leero nga Huguenot College. Era yayamba okukuŋŋaanya ensimbi ez'ebibiina by'obuminsani, era mu 1889 ne yeegatta ku Martha Osborn ne Spencer Walton okutondawo Misoni Enkalakkalira ey'Afirika ey'Obukiikaddyo, eyabawangaala bonna ebbanga ddene.
Andrew Murray ajjukirwa atya?
Murray yafiira e Wellington nga 18 Janwali 1917 mu mwaka gwe ogw'ekinaana mu mwenda, ng'awangadde emyaka egisukka amakumi ataano oluvannyuma lw'okuzuukuka okwamubumba. Obuyinza bwe bwagenda wala okusinga ekibiina kye ye, ne busika abasomi ab'enjawulo nga Watchman Nee mu China ne Jessie Penn-Lewis mu Wales. Teyayagala kujjukirwa nga muntu mukulu; okuwandiika kwe kwennyini kwanyweza ekyawukanako — nti mmeeme eyeeyabuluza yennyini ereka Katonda nga wa ddembe okuba byonna.
