Background

The Karamoja Ministry Partnership (KAMP) is a partnership between AIM and two Ugandan missionary sending organizations (Global Link Afrika and Reaching Frontiers). Building on previous relationships with local churches, they have a long term team in Moroto town which is training and equipping local churches and Christians to take the gospel to their neighbors and out into the manyattas (villages) around Moroto District and beyond. 

Vision and Strategy

KAMP’s vision in Karamoja is to partner with, and empower, biblically faithful local churches to raise and mobilise disciples who are disciples makers, with the goal of holistically reaching communities in Karamoja and beyond with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
