By Edgar R Batte<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dennis Daniel Muhumuza, a civil servant and Grace Namugenyi, a businesswoman met in 2016 at Makerere Full Gospel Church where she was part of the evangelism team that would go door-to-door preaching the gospel in the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

\n

When he joined the evangelism team, she was already a preacher and her zeal for the Lord coupled with her beauty and poise endeared her to him. Dennis says she ticked all the boxes; she was beautiful, calm, and stylish and had a great voice. In fact, he yearned to listen to her every time would sing in the church choir.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0\u201cFrom the beginning, I knew that we would be more than just friends. She had something extra; perhaps the \u2018x-factor\u2019 that intrigued me and made me think about her all the time,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0 Namugenyi on the other hand fell in love with this quiet, humble man who never missed overnight prayers at church.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Patience<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cDennis was a focused and persistent and would not give up even after five years of chasing after me and being told no at every turn. He is also a hard-working man who loves God. Although I am quiet, he is good with words; he has a way of making me open up easily and with him, I always feel heard,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He was ready to commit to her from the first time he saw her but she played hard to get for many years, barely giving him a chance to make his intentions known, until last year when she relented and accepted to go out on a date with Dennis.
