Asked by our reporter about the popular P5 prayers whether they ended with closing churches, he said, “P5 is on going. We are using the same pulpits and God’s people join us  from their houses, on their tv sets and Top radio. The number has increased. Millions of Ugandans are now praying with us.”

Asked about how churches once opened,   will control the spread of Covid 19, Pr. Senyonga said, they will observe the guidelines like social distancing,  increasing the number of church services to accommodate small congregations,  spreading seats and avoiding handshakes. 

“All our church members are part of the community, all communities have been sensitised about how to observe ministry of Health guidelines. What the churches need to do is making internal changes like spreading the seats for social distancing, washing hands before the services, having more services. Churches are not chaotic like markets. We are more organised.” Noted Pr. Senyonga.
