The 6,300 Ik of Uganda (called “Teuso” by their neighbours) are a small farming and hunting community squeezed between the large, powerful Karamojong and Turkana pastoralist tribes. The Ik have struggled to survive in harsh ecological conditions – droughts and floods. They continue to fight against isolation and marginalization to overcome their difficult circumstances and enter Ugandan national life as a people with their own culture and voice. There’s an organisation which has already been active in starting Bible translation into the Ik language – pray the church in Timu (among the Ik) will come together to help that continue.
