77DOGs

77 Days of Glory, often abbreviated to 77DOGs, is an event at the Miracle Centre Cathedral which began in September 2016 and continues until today. The theme song for the 77 Days Of Glory is "Victory belongs to Jesus", a song by Todd Dulaney.

Origin

One Sunday during the popular Robert Kayanja-organised miracle crusade at Kyankwanzi, he said that the Holy Spirit had told him to go back to the church and declare to the congregation a call to gather in the Lord's presence every night for 77 days, and the outcome would be the greatest revival to have happened in the nation with a manifestation of miracles, signs and wonders as never seen before. So the pastor did so and the next day on Monday during the 'Monday after Kyankwanzi Miracle crusade service' at Miracle Centre Cathedral Rubaga, Pastor Kayanja declared that this would begin in the month of September 2016.

Many prominent personalities and celebrities have attended this event including the president of the republic of Uganda, H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, and the king of Toro Kingdom, His Majesty Oyo Nyimba.[1]

77DOGs has had four consecutive phases and As of 2017 is currently in the fifth phase. Each phase is called a season, hence the term 77DOGs season one, two, three, four and now five.

Celebrities "born again"

Many celebrities like Cute Kaye, socialite bad black, musician papa cidy, comedians Eddy Kigere, Kapere, and Full Stop of Amarula family, Captain Dollar and many others professed to be born again.

Other celebrities who have attended the event include the president of the Republic of Uganda, H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, American gospel Artist Todd Dularney,[2] and popular Afro beat artistJose Chameleon a.k.a. Joseph Mayanja.[3]

Live broadcasting

The event was and is still being broadcast live on the church-owned TV station Channel 44,[4] periscope, facebook, YouTube, and the Channel 44 mobile app which was designed by Ugandan software team Iwat Solutions.

Miracles, signs and wonders

Many thieves surrendered what they had stolen, and a popular gang called Kifeesi publicly repented.[5] "These are the people who have been terrorising the city and villages around Kampala. Now they are servants of God," said Pastor Robert Kayanja as he ushered on stage a group of youth. About 60 Kifeesi professed to be born again.[6]

Many 'miracles' were declared including the blind seeing, deaf hearing, mute speaking and many others.

As a result, the altar was filled with clutches of the lame, corsets of those that had back issues, and many taqiyah were always assembled as a show of victory over the devil.[7]

77DOGs mass weddings

Phase one had nine couples wedded.[8]

Phase 2 had 200 couples wedded.[9] All couples were allowed to come along with a best man, matron and two relatives

Phase 3 had over 280 couples including former Amarula Family comedian Kapere.[10][11][12][13]

Phase 4 had 440 couples wedded.[14].[15]

MADS Youth Meeting

MADS, which stands for Meshach, Abednego, Daniel and Shadrach, is a youth program taking place every Saturday evening at the church that resulted from the 77DOGs.

Here the youth gather to pray, have time together, eat, drink and participate in competitions.[16][17]

Competitions involved winning school fees and seven million shilling for the winner of the singing competition.

Girl Power Prayer Clinic

The mega popularity of the Girl Power Prayer Clinic was also a product of the 77 Days Of Glory. It is organized to begin every Saturday morning immediately after the 77DOGs service.[18]

The service is organized by Pastor Jessica Kayanja,[19] wife of Robert Kayanja, together with the Girl Power ministries.[20]
