Ebitabo Byeyongera Obungi

Kye nsinga okukola, naddala mu Kiseera kyange eky'Okusirika n'Okusaba ku Lwokutaano ku makya, kwe kujjukira olugendo Mukama lw'atutambuzza. Bwe ntuula ku ntebe yange eya La-Z-Boy, nga nneebisse bulangiti yange (‘ekifo kyange eky'okusisinkana’) okufumiitiriza, ndowooza ku ‘mayinja ag'okulinnyirako’ – ekibuuzo kya Betty, Don Evans, Yunivasite y'e Swansea, n'ebirala – era emirundi mingi njogera nti “Mukama, Ggwe wakikola ekyo!” Ku nkomerero y'‘olugendo lwange olw'okujjukira’ oluwanvu, nnyongerako ebigambo bino n'okusaba: “Mukama, ngezezzaako okusiga ensigo Yo buli wantu w'onkulembedde. Oluusi nnakikola bulungi, naye emirundi mingi nnakikola bubi. Naye Mukama, ensigo eyo yiyo, era Wagamba nti tejja kukomawo gy'oli nga tetuukirizza kigendererwa kyayo. Nkwegayiridde Mukama, leero, wonna wonna mu nsi, leeta ebibala okuva mu ebyo bye nsize. Amiina.” Ku makya agamu ag'ekitalo, Yayingira mu kifo kyange eky'okusirika n'andaga ennimiro y'omuceere ennene ennyo, eyali egolooba nga tolaba nkomerero yaayo. Amangu ago, ebimera ebibisi ne bimera buli wamu. Nnasanyuka nnyo era ne neetoowaza bwe nnafumiitiriza ku ekyo kye ndowooza nti yali andaga. Okufuba kwange tekwali kwa bwereere.

Nnayogedde mu ssuula eyasooka ku mikisa eminene gye nnafuna bwe nnasuza era ne nkulembera, okumala akaseera katono, Greg Gordon, eyatandikawo www.sermonindex.net (laba essuula “Sermonindex.net”) – mazima ‘ejjinja ery'okulinnyirako’ Katonda lye yateekawo. Nnali mmanyi nti yali atadde ku mukutu ogwo ezimu ku bubaka bwange, naye nnali ntera obutafaayo kulaba nga bwe bwali butwalibwa. Ekyo kyabaddewo okutuusa emyaka ng'ebiri egiyise. Nnali nnoonya obubaka obulala (bwa Stephen Evans) ne ndaba erinnya lyange okumpi awo. Nnanyiga ne nzijukizibwa nti obubaka bwange 39 bwali bwatuuka ‘ku mukutu’. Kya bulijjo, nnatunuulira okulaba oba nga waliwo abaali babuwanulidde. Nandibadde mpeebwa omukisa okulaba nga buwanuliddwa emirundi ebikumi bitono, oboolyawo lukumi. Nneewuunya nnyo bwe nnalaba emiwendo – egyali emirundi egiwerako okusinga kye nnali nsuubira kyonna – mazima ‘omuceere’ gwali gumera! Naye okweyongera obungi okulala kwali kukyali mu maaso.

Emyaka mukaaga egiyise, nnafuna essimu okuva eri omuvubuka gwe nnali mmanyi mu maaso naye nga tetunnamanyagana. James yambuuza oba nga tusobola okutambula ffembi kubanga yali ayagala omuntu gw'anaavunaanyizibwangako era gw'anaasabanga naye. Bw'atyo n'atandika omukwano ogw'amaanyi ogukyagenda mu maaso n'okutuusa leero. Ab'omu maka ge bonna bafuuse kitundu ku bulamu bwange, era nkitwala nga kya muwendo nnyo buli lwe tukwatagana.

Twamala essaawa nnyingi nga tutambula, nga twogera era nga tusaba ffembi, ku lw'ekkanisa mu Victoria ne ku lw'ebyetaago byaffe ebyaffe. Tulina bingi bye twagala ebifaanagana, naye mu ngeri nnyingi twawukana nnyo. Musuubuzi omututumufu, naddala mu by'tekinologiya (IT), era atandiseewo kkampuni nnyingi. Era ayamba Pastor Dan Muwanguzi n'omulimu gwe mu Uganda. (https://christianmodelministries.com/). Mu emu ku ngendo ze e Uganda, James yatandikawo kkampuni ya IT ekulemberwa mutabani wa mwannyina Dan, Isaac (www.odyssey.com), era mu gimu ku mirimu gyabwe egyasooka baddamu okukola omukutu gwange ogw'omu kiseera kino (www.garethevansministries.org). Nga guno mukisa! Omukisa ogwo gweyongera obungi, kubanga okumala emyezi egiwerako, buli wiiki nnayigirizanga bingi ku Baibuli ku Zoom eri abakozi bonna. Omukisa omulala omutono gwajja mukyala wa Isaac bwe yazaala omwana waabwe ow'okuna n'amutuuma Gareth!!

Ebitabo byange byonna byaddamu okulongoosebwa ne biteekebwa ku Amazon abantu basobole okubigula. Muwala wa James, Jaimee, ow'emyaka 14, ye yakola ebibikka byabyo byonna, nga mw'otwalidde n'ekitabo kino. Olw'okusiima byonna bye baali bakoze, nnawa ttiimu mu Uganda olukusa okukozesa ebitabo byange n'ensimbi zonna ezinaabivaamu, okugaziya obuweereza bwabwe.

Mu 2024 nnali ntegeka okwegatta ku James mu Uganda okuyigiriza mu gumu ku Nkiiko z'Abasumba ennyingi eza Pr Dan. Enteekateeka y'olugendo bwe yagenda ng'erabika bulungi, ne kinneeyoleka nti emyaka gyange n'omubiri gwange omunafu byali bifuuka ekiziyiza ekinene ennyo obutakifaako. Kyandibadde kwetulinkiriza okusuubira omubiri gwange okugumira obukoowu bw'okuvuga essaawa eziwerako ku makubo agamu mu Uganda. Kyokka obutabaawo bwange tebwandiziyizza buweereza mu basumba abo, kubanga Odyssey yakulembera okukuba ebitabo byange eyo mu ggwanga n'okubigabira abasumba bonna abaaliwo ku bwereere. Ntegeera nti kati bivvuunuddwa mu nnimi nnya – Olungereza, Olusipanya n'ennimi bbiri ez'omu Afrika. Nneewuunya nnyo era nfunye omukisa munene okumanya nti ebiwandiiko byange kati bibunyisibwa buli wamu nga obubaka bwange bwe buli. Mazima, omuceere “gumera” mu nnimiro.

Mukama, Oli mulungi nnyo gye ndi! Ka byombi, okuwandiika n'okwogera, bigende mu maaso okuba ebya ttendo ly'Ekitiibwa Kyo. (Abef. 1:6, 12, 14).
