The Launch of Favour House of Prayer in Gulu City took place from 9th to 14th April 2025 in Gulu City, Northern Uganda.
When God sends a mission, He always prepares the ground—and that's exactly what we witnessed during the Go Nations Mission to Gulu City in April 2025. In this post, we take you behind the scenes of a powerful spiritual journey that culminated in the launch of the Favour House of Prayer auditorium, a new altar for revival in Northern Uganda. As part of the Go Nations movement, our team traveled through delays, challenges, and divine encounters to see God's purposes unfold in the Acholi region. From vision-casting with leaders to prayer-filled commissioning moments, you'll discover how this mission wasn't just a trip—it was the birthing of a movement. Having walked closely with Dr. John W. Mulinde and the team, I share not only what happened, but what it meant—both for us, and for the future of the region.
Mission Purpose
To Launch the Favour House of Prayer Auditorium in Gulu City. This mission marked the official dedication and commissioning of the Favour House of Prayer, a strategic spiritual altar in Northern Uganda. The auditorium is envisioned to become a hub for intercession, revival, discipleship, and leadership development. Its launch signifies a critical step in expanding the footprint of prayer and kingdom work in the Acholi region. The presence of senior spiritual leaders such as Dr. John W. Mulinde helped to sanctify and bless the facility for its divine assignment. The auditorium will host regional and international gatherings, serve as a training base for missionaries, and become a center for community transformation through spiritual engagement.
Dr. John W. Mulinde shared a profound and stirring message on the revival history of the Desert Fathers, drawing the audience into the ancient wells of spiritual heritage that shaped early Christianity. He recounted how, in the 3rd and 4th centuries, a wave of radical devotion swept across the deserts of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine, as men and women left worldly comfort to seek intimacy with God in solitude. These pioneers of the faith—later known as the Desert Fathers and Mothers—forsook materialism and embraced lives of consecration, prayer, fasting, and silence.
Dr. John W. Mulinde highlighted key figures like St. Anthony the Great, often considered the father of monasticism, who sparked a movement that led thousands into the wilderness to pursue the presence of God. These early revivalists-built communities centered around repentance, discipleship, and spiritual warfare, creating a foundation that influenced both Eastern Orthodoxy and Western monastic traditions. Their lifestyle demonstrated that true revival is born in the hidden place—in the furnace of prayer, discipline, and sacrifice.
Bringing the message home, Dr. John W. Mulinde urged the leaders in Gulu not to simply admire revival history but to draw from it, igniting their own spiritual commitment. He connected the legacy of the Desert Fathers to the mission of Go Nations, emphasizing that national transformation begins when individuals and communities adopt a posture of total surrender and relentless pursuit of God. The Favour House of Prayer, he declared, must become such a place—a modern-day desert altar where revival is birthed through consecrated lives.

The conversation centered on the biblical foundation of the movement, particularly Matthew 28:19—“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”—a command that has too often been reduced to evangelism alone. The speakers expounded on the depth and divine mystery embedded in this scripture: that Jesus wasn't just commissioning His followers to make converts, but to disciple entire nations, teaching them to obey all He commanded.
They described Go Nations as a global mobilization initiative designed to awaken the Church to this neglected part of the Great Commission. The movement seeks to bring together the Body of Christ across denominations, cultures, and regions, to equip believers with tools, training, and spiritual strategies that lead to transformation at both individual and national levels.
Key topics discussed during the session included:
The true meaning of discipling nations, not just individuals
The need to rebuild national altars of prayer and repentance
Creating structured, reproducible models of Bible training and leadership development
Encouraging unity in the Body of Christ as a foundation for national revival
The urgency of aligning with God's end-time agenda through intercession, mobilization, and action
Listeners responded with tremendous interest, many calling and texting the station to express their desire to learn more and connect with the Go Nations vision. The broadcast didn’t just inform—it inspired a movement, planting spiritual seeds across the Acholi region and awakening leaders and believers to their divine responsibility.
This radio session marked a strategic turning point in the mission to Northern Uganda, proving once again that media is a powerful altar when consecrated for Kingdom advancement.
The Go Nations team is committed to continued engagement with media platforms to ensure that every ear hears and every heart is stirred to take part in discipling the nations.
The broadcast reached a wide and diverse audience across Northern Uganda, sparking great interest and engagement. Call-ins, text messages, and social media responses reflected deep resonance with the message, and many listeners expressed a desire to learn more and get involved in the movement.
This live session was more than just an informative segment—it was a strategic media outreach that planted seeds of revival in the hearts of listeners. By leveraging the power of Christian media, the Go Nations team was able to extend their reach beyond the physical gatherings, laying a foundation for long-term mobilization across the region.
As the mission continues to unfold, Favour FM stands as a vital partner in broadcasting the message of transformation and awakening to the nations—starting with the Acholi land.

The message was well received by the attendees. Many leaders expressed their deep resonance with the vision, acknowledging the need for such a movement in the region. One local leader poignantly remarked, “Dr. John W. Mulinde, we wish you had come long ago—we already feel it’s too late for the work. But we are ready, any time, to join the Go Nations movement.”
