Notable city pastor, Aloysious Bugingo, has shared an update regarding the long-anticipated Pentagon Church. The lead Pastor of House of Prayer International Ministries has been gathering funds from his congregation for several years, promising to construct this extraordinary church.
The fundraising effort has stretched over nearly ten years, yet there is little indication that the church will be built anytime soon. Sources indicate that billions of shillings have already been collected.
In a recent sermon, Bugingo remarked that he initially expected construction to begin last year. However, it turned out to be challenging, leading them to aim for this year, which has also proven difficult due to a lack of sufficient funds. Bugingo urged his congregation to continue contributing more money to facilitate the church’s construction.
“We believed we would commence last year, but we did not succeed, so we aimed for this year, yet it has become increasingly difficult to begin as we don’t even have 1/10 of the necessary funds to put up the structure,” he stated during his sermon.
This indicated that establishing the Pentagon still requires a significant amount of time before it can commence. His followers have frequently faced ridicule regarding how he has taken advantage of their donations. This has occurred after he built an extravagant home in Namayumba and drives luxury vehicles.
Numerous local pastors have prospered from their congregants, many of whom continue to live in poverty. However, under the promise of working toward salvation, most unknowingly support their pastors’ lifestyles.
