Pastor Mutebi told the press that the Kampala Church will be shooting for 3 hours.

“We shall be celebrating our 9th anniversary in a matter of days, so we felt it prudent to give thanks to God in a special way for the wonderful things,” said Mutebi.

He has accomplished in us, through us and for us in the nine years. This World Record challenge gives us the perfect opportunity to make history for God.”

The Guinness world attempt, Mutebi says will be streamed on their YouTube and on the church’s Manifest TV.

Her triumph however, set off a chain reaction of other people in her country and elsewhere, making their own attempts at different records, including one Adedamilola 'Chef Dammy' Adeparusi, who announced that she would attempt to cook for 120 hours to break Baci’s record.
