Kwe kufumiitiriza kwa Gareth Evans ku myaka egisukka mu ataano gy’amaze ng’atambula ne Mukama, ng’annyonnyola engeri Katonda gye yaluŋŋamyamu ekkubo lye ng’ayita mu kusomesa, omulimu gw’obuminsani, n’obuweereza. Ng’ayita mu byafaayo ebisikiriza, Evans alaga amaanyi g’okukkiriza, obuwulize, n’okutaasa kwa Katonda mu bulamu bwe bwonna, era akubiriza abasomi okutegeera n’okwesiga enteekateeka Katonda gy’alina ku bulamu bwabwe bo.

Gareth Evans musomesa wa Bayibuli, mubuulizi, era muminsani amaze emyaka egisukka mu ataano ng’atambula ne Mukama, ng’aweereza mu kusomesa ne mu buweereza mu bifo eby’enjawulo. “Amayinja ag’Okulinnyako” bye byafaayo bye eby’olugendo olwo, ng’annyonnyola engeri Katonda gye yamukulemberamu mutendera ku mutendera mu bulamu obuwanvu obw’okukkiriza n’obuweereza.

Gulaga obulamu obukulemberwa Katonda mutendera ku mutendera — buli kintu ekimutuukako nga jjinja eriteekeddwawo okumusomosa okutuuka ku ddala. Evans atunuulira emabega ku myaka ataano n’alaba engeri Katonda gye yateekawo “amayinja ag’okulinnyako” gano, ng’aluŋŋamya ekkubo lye okuyita mu kusalawo, mu mikisa egy’okukola, ne mu kutegeka kwe, era omutwe gulaga ebyafaayo bye ng’olugendo olukulemberwa Katonda.

Olugendo lw’obulamu n’obuweereza bwa Evans — olugendo lwe olw’okukkiriza mu ntandikwa, okusomesa kwe, omulimu gw’obuminsani omwali n’ekiseera mu Asiya, okugaba kwa Katonda mu biseera ebikulu, okuyitibwa mu Afrika, n’okutandikibwawo n’okukula kw’obuweereza. Okuyita mu bifaayo bino, alaga engeri okukkiriza, obuwulize, n’okutaasa kwa Katonda gye byabumba obulamu obuwanvu obw’obuweereza.

Nti Katonda alina enteekateeka ku bulamu bwa buli muntu era asobola okwesigibwa okubukulembera, mutendera ku mutendera. Bw’annyonnyola engeri Katonda gye yamukulemberamu okumala emyaka ataano, Evans akubiriza abasomi okunoonya omukono gwa Katonda mu byafaayo byabwe bo n’okwesiga okukulembera kwe — ng’alaga nti obulamu obw’okukkiriza n’obuwulize bwe bulamu Katonda bw’aluŋŋamya era bw’agabira.

Yee — Evans annyonnyola ebyokulabirako ebya nnamaddala eby’okukulembera n’okugaba kwa Katonda, omuli ebiseera ebyogerwako mu ssuula ng'“Yerova Yire – Omugabi Waffe” ne “Nnaakukulembera.” Ebyafaayo bino biraga okutaasa kwa Katonda mu mbeera eza nnamaddala, ne binyweza okukubiriza kw’ekitabo okwesiga Katonda ku byetaago by’omuntu n’okumukulembera.

Kya Mukristaayo yenna ayagala okuzzibwamu amaanyi okwesiga enteekateeka ya Katonda n’okulaba omukono gwe mu bulamu obwa bulijjo. Ng’ebyafaayo by’okukkiriza n’obuwulize okumala emyaka ataano, kiyamba nnyo abasomi abali mu kusalawo oba mu butali bukakafu, nga kiraga okuyita mu lugendo lw’omusajja omu engeri Katonda gy’akulemberamu abo abamugoberera.

Ku ntandikwa, ng’agoberera olugendo lwa Evans mu nsengeka yaalwo nga ejjinja erimu bwe litwala ku ddala. Olw’okuba bye byafaayo ebiraga obulamu obukulemberwa Katonda okuva mu nnaku zaabwo ez’olubereberye, kivaamu nnyo bwe kisomebwa mu nsengeka, omusomi alyoke alabe ekkubo lyonna Katonda lye yateekawo okumala emyaka ataano.
