Festo Kivengere

[1] He played a huge role in a Christian revival in southwestern Uganda, but had to flee in 1977 to neighboring Rwanda in fear for his life after speaking out against Idi Amin's tyrannical behavior.

Four days later, despite government threats, 45,000 Ugandans gathered in the Anglican cathedral in Kampala for a memorial service honoring their fallen leader.

Urged to flee by friends who said, "One dead bishop is enough," he and his wife that night drove as far as their vehicle could take them and with the help of local church people in the hills they walked until the next morning brought them to safety across the border in Rwanda.

[5] Bishop Festo was invited by Michael Cassidy to join African Enterprise in 1969 and to build up a team of AE evangelists in East Africa.

Eurofest '75 was co-sponsored by the Billy Graham organisation and was held in Brussels, Belgium at the Palais du Centenaire and the Heysel Stadium from 24 July til 2 August.
