Faith of Unity is a religion centered on Desteo Bisaka (1930–2021), who called himself “Owobusobozi” (Runyoro, “almighty one”).

Based on his miracle claims, he ordered his followers to worship him and commanded new rules for their daily lives. In this message Rodgers Atwebembeire gives biblical answers—and hope—to those who still look to Bisaka for their salvation.
