Pastor Isaac Rwomushana says faith and medicine must work together

• Pastor Isaac Rwomushana rejects teachings that discourage Christians from going to hospital.
• He says faith and medicine work together, stressing that doctors treat but God heals.
• The God Is Good Church leader confirms he personally seeks medical treatment when sick.

Isaac Rwomushana, the lead pastor of God Is Good Church Ministries in Katale–Seguku, has weighed in on a debate that has been quietly stirring within sections of the Christian community — whether believers should seek medical treatment or rely solely on prayer.

Known for his high-energy preaching, vibrant worship sessions, and community outreach that stretches beyond the church walls, Rwomushana has built a strong following both in-person and online.

Through platforms like YouTube and TikTok, he regularly shares clips from services, revival meetings, and motivational teachings centered on faith, resilience, and overcoming life’s challenges. His passionate delivery and relatable messages have earned him a loyal audience.

But during a recent conversation with media personality Kasuku, the pastor addressed a more serious issue: the growing doctrine among some preachers who discourage Christians from going to the hospital.

Rwomushana made his position clear — faith and medicine are not in competition.

According to him, doctors and faith serve different but complementary roles. While medical professionals treat illnesses using knowledge and skill, he believes ultimate healing comes from God.

“Miracles happen when God wants them to happen,” he said candidly. He went on to reveal that when he falls sick, he seeks medical attention just like anyone else. “There’s no point in asking my people not to go,” he added.

His remarks may surprise those who think embracing medicine weakens belief in miracles. However, the pastor was quick to clarify that miracles remain a core part of his faith. He explained that the Bible defines miracles as events that go beyond human ability or understanding — something no doctor or individual can manufacture at will.

“We don’t know when miracles will happen,” he noted. “We just pray about it and trust in God.”

Rather than promoting blind faith that ignores medical realities, Rwomushana encouraged believers to develop consistent faith in both small and major life situations. He questioned the logic of only believing in divine intervention during life-threatening illnesses while doubting healing in minor conditions.

“If you don’t believe that you can heal from flu, why believe you will heal from cancer?” he asked.

For him, faith isn’t something to switch on only in moments of crisis. It’s a daily practice — one that can coexist with science and medicine without diminishing either.

His message ultimately calls for balance: pray, trust God, but don’t ignore the hospital.
