Cees and Mirjam serve in Kotido, Uganda, to engage the Karimojong people for Christ. For twelve weeks, they have been running a pilot programme where people from seven small congregations have been gathering on Saturday mornings. They are the backbone of the congregation in their villages of a few hundred people, but they don’t have a Bible, and they can’t read. With the help of local leader Joseph, they have been teaching a new Bible story each week. Churches in the villages rely on such servants who, out of love for God and their people, ride their rickety bicycles down the dusty roads week after week.  There’s a lot of laughter; Noah was that man who built a barn for animals that could float on water. There’s nothing here in Kotido that looks like a boat…  During this program, it also became clear how hunger affects church life. One attendee shared that, “At first, seven of us from our village came to hear the stories. Then food was distributed at another church. The mosque also distributes food regularly. Our congregation’s members go wherever the food is.” Please pray for Cees, Mirjam and Joseph as they navigate the challenges of both spiritual and physical hunger within the local church.
