Our first visit in Uganda was in May 2017. The thought to go there again never left my mind after I left. We saw horrible pictures of hunger, poverty, inhuman conditions of life and a thirst for God’s word.
Our trip began with difficulties. At the airport security, they found a knife at one of our team members. He didn’t know it was there. The police were called and after long conversations they let him go with the condition to appear in front of a court for further investigation.
Before our arrival, we learned that we would not be able to visit one of the camps ins South Sudan because of the armed conflict in that area. A unit of soldiers reached the refugee camp and started to shoot randomly at the refugees and didn’t even stop with women or children. Many fled to bordering Kerwa Region in Uganda.
The camp in Kerwa just opened a few weeks ago. We purchase 12 tons of food, 700 bibles, and medication. More than 1500 people were sitting under tree branches and waiting for us from the early morning.
People rejoiced and praised God for the help that arrived on time and for the Word of God that they received. Thank you, everybody, who helped and cared about the refugees here in Uganda. Our brothers and sister from South Sudan undergo a very difficult journey. They lost everything that they once owned. They are tired
Please pray for the awakening for South Sudan, for the end of the war so that the two rivaling tribes would stop killing innocent civilians.
