The first lady delivered her message while gracing the Mantle of Deborah Uganda Chapter Apostolic and Prophetic Women Conference at Kololo Independence Grounds yesterday.

The Deborah Mantle is a gathering that centres on uplifting and empowering women to conquer cunning global obstacles.

Among the attendees of this year’s Mantle of Deborah Apostolic and Prophetic Women’s conference included government officials, church leaders, civil servants, gospel artists and other dignitaries from across Africa.

Reflecting on the scriptures from the Book of Judges Chapters 4 and 5, women prayed for Uganda to transform into a wholly submissive nation drawing an account from the story of Deborah.
