Our Visit to Kaabong

In northeastern Uganda lives a nomadic tribe, the Karamojong, who place greater value on cattle than on anything else. Carrying guns and fighting between sub-tribes mainly over their animals makes the region dangerous for missionaries, likeGeorgia and Jacob Reed. Oral Bible stories penetrate the hearts of the Karamojong and groups are forming. Ask God for Karamojong leaders who will leave their dependence on witch doctors and trust in God alone.

Claudia and I had the privilege of spending about 5 days with the Reeds. Kaabong is in the northeastern part of Uganda…. very dry and hot. Many times the Reeds leave in the early morning walking to a storying center some 10 to 15 miles away to teach and train others to tell the stories of the Bible. Kaabong is a very hard place to live… no electricity (except a windmill and batteries) … no water (expect from the bore hole)… no meat … no fresh fruit …no vegetables … But there is rice and beans…

Jacob and Georgia will be leaving Uganda in May to return to the states. Pray that God will raise up other to carry the gospel to this difficult area. Pray that the leaders they have trained will remain faithful.
