Some disturbing news have reached us this afternoon that Lay Canon Godfrey Njagala a seasoned teacher, broadcaster and a preacher of the Word of God has gone to meet his creator.
I had not thought it was true since in January similar news of his demise were also spread on social media.

He has fought a good fight and won the race, now what awaits him is a crown.
As I was trying to search about him, I found this write-up by William Kituuka a veteran blogger and this is what he wrote about him.
"I take this opportunity to thank a few who have kept the gospel moving. These among others include Canon Godfrey Njagala, Mr. Abbey Kibalama of the Escatos Brides and Jimmy Katumba RIP.
Canon Njagala was a student at Namutamba Teachers' College before he joined Namutamba Demonstration School, then got to higher studies as well as earned the title of Canon. Today, he is one of the household names among those who nourish our hearts spiritually.
Abbey Kibalama was a teacher at Namutamba Teachers' College, however, his mission work through Church songs came out after the formation of the Escatos Brides, and today their music features on many functions as well as on households.

Jimmy Ka tumba RIP was at Namutamba Teachers' College as a student. His singing talent came out when he was still a student and he nurtured it after leaving the College. Today, his Church music may be scarce to comeby but the fact remains that it is all the pride of Namutamba and that deep religious foundation.
I thank God for the people who have kept the word of God alive in our sinful and evil world."
Canon Njagala was an headmaster of Makerere High School for so many years. He has also been a presenter of the Sunday morning gospel show on Star 100FM since 1999 when he joined veteran journalist William Mukalazi Kyobe.
I have always admired the way he has been keeping time every week. He would start the program at 4:00am with Bishop Stephen Senfuma up to 6:00am. No single day, would he start the program late.

In recent times, he has been conducting lunch hour programs on Star FM from 12:00-2:00pm Monday to Friday with Mrs. Josephine Kasaato. He has surely done his job of winning more souls to the Lord's side.
In his home Church in Komamboga , he has been a very big pillar in Church activities even in his Parish of Mpererwe .
Njagala was born in Busense Masaka district to his parents who go by the name Njagala. They belonged to the Nte clan.
While at Namutamba teacher's college, he accepted Jesus Christ to be his personal Lord and Savior.
When Namirembe FM 93.9FM went on air, Canon Njagala became its first Station Manager.
