On March 12, a team from various churches embarked on a mission trip to Uganda and South Sudan! For over 10 years, around 2,000,000 refugees from Sudan have been living in camps in northern Uganda. Their situation is worsening, as the monthly ration has again been reduced to 3 kg of beans and 6 kg of cornmeal. This is distributed by the camp administration only to the elderly, widows, and the disabled! Therefore, we brought food to share during our meetings.
After loading two trucks with food, the team set off for northern Uganda. Part of the team traveled to South Sudan to help in a hospital and to get acquainted with school projects and the local church in Kajo Keji. Life in the camps is becoming unbearable, which is why some refugees returned to South Sudan after a truce between the warring parties. Others are waiting for the elections in December 2024, fearing that war will again force them to flee their homeland, and they hope to return in early 2025.
Together with Willy Daiker and Vasily Stupin, we conducted training on discipleship, leadership, and counseling!
We thank everyone who donated and prayed for us! In November 2024, we plan to send a construction team to Uganda to complete the discipleship center in the city of Moyo!
