MULOPI MORIS Reflections Jinja Conference 2022
My name is MULOPI MORIS from Uganda, a final year Biomedical engineering student at Mbarara University of Science and Technology and one of the young readers and lovers of the Urantia book and am here to tell you about my experience about The Urantia Uganda August 2022 Conference which took place from the 24th to 27th August, 2022 at the Jinja City Hotel with the theme “The Gift of Revelation”, “The Life and Teaching of Jesus.”
Since am a student, the conference commenced in the last days I was writing my tests at school and I therefore take this opportunity to apologize because I could not make it for the very first day the conference started an I really felt so bad and felt like I missed a lot because the first day is always interesting.
Because the conference was so important to me, my mind could not settle before I reached Jinja and immediately I wrote my last test on the 25th of August, I had to board a bus there and then to Kampala and finally to Jinja. Since it is a long journey from Mbarara to jinja, it took me some good number of hours to reach Jinja and I reached the Hotel at 11pm in the night.
At that time I found the place so silent because it was time for people to have rest for everything they did during the day. I had to also find a room to rest as I wait for the following day since I was also too exhausted by the journey.
In the morning of the following day, I woke up very early since I was eagerly wanted to attend. So I got up, organized myself and headed for morning breakfast at the Hotel restaurant. To my surprise was to see a very huge number of people of different age brackets lining up for breakfast and they had all come to attend the conference, my happiness started to raise seeing such a big population which had come to receive the revelation.
After breakfast, we headed to conference hall and the day’s program commenced. There were presentations from different people and it was so interesting as the different presenters were speaking about the nice and useful information embodied in the Urantia book and I really felt so happy once more. It was also such an interactive moment where people were asking questions here and there and every person’s opinion was listened and explanations provided where necessary.
Everything concerning the basic necessities was provided at the conference for example feeding with all meals, accommodation, and medical care for those who got some health challenges etc and everything was a success.

During my stay throughout the entire conference, I met and interacted with many people from the different parts or regions some of whom I knew, some I didn’t know, some I had just heard of them but at the end of it all I was able to make many friends.
The conference also raise and increased my love for the book. Since my joy is always seeing people happy, I was really so happy at the conference as I saw very many people happy and everyone was just appreciating and testifying the goodies of the Urantia book and family and how their lives have changed. The conference as really a unifying factor of different people.
As I conclude, it is my humble request and appeal that this should not be the last conference and we need more of such events to make more people love and embrace the Urantia book.
Thank you very much and may God bless and continue to protect you.
