Mrs. Museveni extended the invite while hosting Ssempebwa at the Nakasero State Lodge on Monday.
Ssempebwa was one of the founding members of the legendary gospel band Limit X which had a massing following and influence in the 1990s.
The group of four members, Dennis Sempebwa, Paul Mutebi, Paul Serukenya, and Isaac Ruccibigango was founded in the late 1980s at Miracle Center Rubaga.
It was credited with transforming gospel music in Uganda from the conservative hymnal approach by introducing heavy disco-style repertoire dance moves. They also ditched the conservative church dress code for flashy fashion and heavy jewelry

After the group disintegrated in 2004, Dr Sempebwa, stayed in music but also pursued other careers as a motivational speaker, educator, pastor, and thought leader.
He’s so far authored 17 different books and runs a global ministry in 15 countries around the world.
During the meeting at Nakasero, Mrs. Museveni encouraged him to return to Ugandan and carry forward his ministry here.
“We would wish to see you using the talents that you have gained to transform the lives of our young people, most of whom have been led astray, lack morals, and have forgotten about their cultures and traditions,” said Mrs Museveni.
The First Lady and Dr Ssempebwa discussed a number of issues such as looking for solutions to the challenge of immorality among the African youth.
Mrs Museveni highlighted a need to speak more openly with the youths about the challenges they face such as involvement in same-sex relations and LGBTQ agendas
On his part, Mr Ssempebwa informed the First Lady about his church ministry training institute called “The 300”
The institute, he said, gives training and offers degrees and diplomas in leadership and church ministry.
He asked the Ministry of Education to consider certifying the courses taught at the institute so that the degrees awarded are valid in Uganda
