The birthday celebration featured cultural dances and expressions of gratitude from local leaders. Kagadi LC5 Chairman Ndibwami B. Yosia credited Bisaka’s teachings for transforming the region:
“Before Owobusobozi, Kagadi was known for witchcraft and cannibalism. Today, we see a peaceful, hard-working, and united society.”
The Faith of Unity differs from mainstream religions by rejecting the Bible, which they consider divisive. Instead, they follow the Book of Faith and Unity, authored by Owobusobozi Bisaka. It promotes good deeds like cleanliness, helping the poor, and prayer as paths to eternal life.
To many followers, Owobusobozi Bisaka is not just a spiritual guide but is revered as “Ruhanga” God in human form. They believe as he continues to perform miracles and offer divine healing both spiritual and bodily diseases
