William's Story
Pastor William Bogere and his wife, Nakyelwe Sylvia, have raised a large family together. Sylvia's conversion played an important role in William's own journey to faith, and the two have shared a commitment to serving God through ministry.
In 2017, William and his family experienced a heartbreaking loss when their firstborn son was killed by a crocodile while fishing with William to help provide for the family. Their church came alongside them during this difficult time, offering comfort and support.
William and his wife have been involved in planting nine churches, and his ministry has included serving on Bukwaya Island. He has also carried leadership responsibilities in his community. His desire for deeper biblical education grew from wanting to teach Scripture more faithfully and equip others with a sound understanding of God's Word.

Following His Journey
RPI continues to encourage and equip rural pastors through biblical discipleship, practical sustainability training, and ongoing relationships. New personal updates about Pastor William Bogere will be shared when verified.
Vocational / Sustainability / Discipleship Update
In September 2026, 20 RPI pastors and their wives completed entrepreneurship training in partnership with Ekisinga. The training provided practical instruction designed to help families develop sustainable sources of income while pastors continue faithfully serving their churches and communities.
The pastors also toured RPI's goat project as they prepare for future hands-on training. The project is one of the practical ways RPI is exploring opportunities that can help pastors and their families strengthen household sustainability.
Alongside vocational development, RPI continues providing discipleship, follow-up, encouragement, and practical training for graduate pastors as they apply what they have learned within their families, churches, and communities.
RPI’s Goat Project: Practical Skills for Sustainable Ministry
RPI's goat project is one way we connect practical vocational learning with our long-term commitment to rural pastors. Goat raising and livestock management can offer pastors skills to explore ways of providing for their families while continuing to serve their congregations.
Through the Vocational / Sustainability / Discipleship Program, RPI seeks to pair ongoing discipleship with practical training that can help pastors build more stable livelihoods. The goal is not to replace biblical teaching, but to help reduce financial pressures that can make rural ministry difficult.
The goat project illustrates the practical sustainability opportunities within RPI's program and is one example of how RPI seeks to strengthen pastors and their families through sustainable ministry.
More Than a Training Program
RPI's relationship with pastors continues beyond their initial biblical training. Through ongoing discipleship, encouragement, follow-up, and opportunities for practical sustainability training, participating pastors can continue growing as leaders while working toward stronger families, churches, and ministries.
