House of Prayer Ministries International (HPMI) lead ‘pastor’ is in trouble with bornagain or balokole pastors over Suzan Makula Nantaba’s kwanjula.
Days ago, Suzan Makula, an employee at Bujjingo’s Salt Media, introduced her boss to her family in a traditional marriage ceremony.
But a section of pastors, under the National Fellowship of Bornagain Pentecostal Churches of Uganda (NFBPC), have disapproved of the traditional union and any other marriage ceremony with Suzan Makula.
The leaders of the pastors added that even when Bujjingo refused to work with them, his indiscipline is damaging the body of Christ.
“Whereas Pastor Aloysius Bugingo decided to work independently and does not recognize or subscribe to any of the unbrella organisations that bring together Evangelical and Pentecostal Churches for mutual support and accountability, we feel that the matter relating to him and his wife has escalated to a level that concerns all of us the body of Christ and the general public,” they wrote.
They further noted that their attempts to make Bujjingo realize his mistake, and to stop washing his dirty linen in public media.
“As brothers, ministers of the gospel, elders and leaders of the Church, we felt the obligation to intervene in this grave matter based on Mathew 18:15. So on the 14th May, 2019, Bishop Lwere, the General Overseer of the National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches of Uganda, accompanied by three elders, namely, Apostle Alex Mitala, Elder Peterson Sozi and Bishop Morris Bukenya met and admonished Pastor Bugingo to stop using the pulpit and media to settle his family and marital issues,” the balokole pastors continued.
“We told him it was totally unethical and unbiblical to discuss his wife in public, and advised him to separate church and family matters. He promised to stop and it was agreed that these elders would observe him for three months. Unfortunately, to our utter dismay and disappointment, Pastor Aloysius Bugingo has continued abusing, degrading and shaming his family and wife Mrs Teddy Naluswa Bugingo, over matters which any husband, believer, and much less a pastor or leader, ought never to say about his wife. This is contrary to Christian ministerial ethics and practices.”
The men of God also condemned Bujjingo’s attempts to divorce Teddy Naluswa and replace her with Suzan Makula.
“We have further learnt that Pastor Aloysius Bugingo is proposing to divorce his wife to marry another, and publicly encouraging others to do so. We want to emphatically state that we strongly condemn what Pastor Aloysius Bugingo is proposing and doing,” they noted.
“As Church leaders, we preach and teach marital faithfulness, forgiveness, and reconciliation and we do not condone marital unfaithfulness, immorality, divorce and other doctrine that undermine the sanity of family and marriage.”
They further warned him against misleading his flock, and dissociated themselves from his teachings.
“Having done our part as believers, brothers, ministers, elders and leaders in the body of Christ to love, admonish and correct our brother in love but in vain,” said the pastors.
“Therefore, we hereby denounce, and dissociate ourselves from Pastor Aloysius Bugingo’s practices, outbursts, behavior and doctrine. We therefore do not recognize his ministry until we see genuine repentance and an acceptable change.“
