CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE DECLARATION OF THE END OF THE EBOLA OUTBREAK

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." – Psalm 46:1

Dear Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

We thank God for His mercy, protection, and faithfulness throughout the recent Ebola outbreak that affected our nation. We are grateful to inform the congregation that the Government of Uganda, through the Ministry of Health, has officially declared the end of the 2026 Ebola outbreak after the required period of enhanced surveillance without any new confirmed cases.

As a church family, we join the nation in thanking God for preserving lives, strengthening healthcare workers, and granting wisdom to all those who worked tirelessly to contain the outbreak. We also remember in prayer the families who lost loved ones and ask God to comfort them and grant them peace.

Although the outbreak has been declared over, we encourage every member to continue practicing good hygiene and healthy habits. Let us remain vigilant by washing our hands regularly, maintaining clean surroundings, and following public health guidance whenever necessary. Protecting our health is an important way of caring for ourselves and for one another.

As followers of Christ, we are called to be people of faith, hope, and compassion. Let us continue praying for Uganda and our neighboring countries, especially those still facing public health challenges. May the Lord grant healing, protection, and lasting peace to all communities.

We thank every member of Gulu Baptist Church for your prayers, cooperation, and commitment during this period. Your love and concern for one another have demonstrated the unity and compassion of the body of Christ.

May God continue to bless you, keep you in good health, and strengthen you as we faithfully serve Him together.

"The Lord will keep you from all harm—He will watch over your life." – Psalm 121:7
