Easter, the celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection, is a time of joy, hope, and reflection for Christians worldwide. In the spirit of spreading this message of hope, Jinja Pentecostal Assemblies of God Church embarked on a special mission to the Rippon-Roko village, touching lives and hearts with the Gospel message on Easter Day.<\/p>

Located in a remote area, Rippon-Roko village often lacks access to religious services and spiritual guidance. It is one of the fishing villages in Uganda settling on the lake Victoria shores. Recognising the need to reach out to these communities, PAG -Jinja Church organised a gospel outreach programme, aiming to bring the message of love, redemption, and salvation to the villagers.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>

Upon reaching the village, the L.C1 Chairman welcomed the church members and officially asked the villagers to join this transformative mission. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation and excitement as the Gospel message was shared through songs, prayers, sermon and dance.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>

The highlight of the outreach was a special Easter service held in the heart of the village. Under the tents, villagers gathered to worship together, reflecting on the significance of Easter and the promise of new life found in Christ.<\/p>

The service was a powerful reminder of the transformative power of the Gospel and its ability to unite communities in faith and fellowship not forgetting the children who also had a special tent where they sang songs and reflected on the love of God.<\/p>
