As NPR has reported here and here, the Family is also deeply involved in Uganda. President Yoweri Museveni and several government ministers have ties to the family, and they’ve even been accused of setting the scene for Uganda’s now infamous kill-the-gays bill.

When I originally read the story in John Ortberg`s book I researched it and in a few minutes found that it took place in Uganda, not Kenya as he said. I would have thought that including someone`s story in a book it would be important to get it right especially if you`re talking about a president. I was happy to hear that there was no bet as that part of the story seemed gimmicky. So many people have been blessed by it and encouraged to pray. I do hope I get to read the true story one day which Bob said was more interesting.

That guy would sell the country given a chance but its probably the hardest thing to do . But yes he can kill innocent citizens for money without question if a white man promise him money . Amin killed his son to drink his blood to keep presidency as his witch doctor told him to do if he wanted to stay in power and now Museveni will do the same because time is running out after 25 years being a president with pressure to stand down . But he is saying nobody can manage uganda except him . what does that mean ? greed, destroying young mens ideas, denying smart men to lead. killing espiring guys to compete with him and it goes on and on .smart men are getting accidents out of the blue with coups set on them and poisoning them like Mayombo which is still a mystery how he died. Big shame for african leaders . They should follow Nyerere example and be respected or accept to die in exile when there time comes like Amin and Obote . was that fun for sure or good ending for them Mr Museveveni? . ask yourself and age with respect than corrupting the young mans path where there world is heading . homosexuality started in schoold when they separated mixed high schools to single sex schools . Those boys or girls had no clue with western cultures but they discovered themselves sexually when they had no girls anymore since girls were getting pregnant in senior 2 when schools were mixed boys and girls . This has nothing to do with western cultures . why do we drive cars since God gave us 2 legs to walk where we want to be ?. Why do we wear glasses when we were given 2 eyes to see. Put those in Jail who drink beer since god gave us water to survive on . do you hear Museveni ? peace. Your comment is awaiting moderation.

You said gays led the genocide . what a lie and how about men absing women in uganda sleeping with millions of women and bring aids to innocent women . I know 10 straight men who died of aids . women have started hitting on ther heads like what happened to Kazini who used to be a big man and a woman knocked him few months ago. They probably deserve that and know that women are tired and need a change to . it all sounds like angry greedy old folks who can do anything to leave a mess behind before age takes them where they belong . be nice .
