What happens when a generation of preachers rises up without mentors? In this energising and deeply personal talk, Rev Raymond L. Bukenya challenges pastors and leaders to take the biblical call to mentoring preachers seriously—for the health of the church today and the sake of gospel clarity tomorrow.

Drawing from Scripture, history, and personal experience, Raymond argues that preaching mentorship is not optional—it is essential. He diagnoses why mentoring is often lacking in African church contexts, explains what faithful mentoring should look like, and calls preachers to pass on both sound doctrine and godly character.

Along the way, Raymond shares colourful and memorable analogies—including one involving barbecues and pig ears—that bring this vital message to life. His passion for raising up the next generation of faithful preachers comes through every moment of this talk. Recorded in September 2024, Kampala, Uganda

Rev Raymond L. Bukenya is the team leader and a founding member of Tru Tangazo Uganda. He is passionate about proclaiming, clarifying, and affirming the truth claims of the Christian faith in an increasingly sceptical world amidst alternative worldviews, and trains and mentors others to do the same. He is a theologian, Christian apologist, and missiologist with training from Wycliffe Hall College (University of Oxford) and the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA), and holds a Masters in Missions from the University of Winchester. Raymond serves as a Theology Tutor with Calvary Chapel Bible College Kampala and The Shepherds Academy (an online theological college), where he teaches pastors, pastoral apprentices, and church planters. He is a family man, married to Lynn, and together they are raising seven children—four boys and three girls.

If you care about faithful preaching—whether you’ve stood behind a pulpit once or a thousand times—you’ll be challenged to pursue the kind of mentoring that shapes both the messenger and the message.
