Pray for the unreached Ik people
The Ik are a small farming and hunting community in North East Uganda, squeezed between the large, powerful Karimojong and Turkana pastoralist tribes.
The Ik are a small farming and hunting community in North East Uganda, squeezed between the large, powerful Karimojong and Turkana pastoralist tribes. They struggle to survive amidst droughts and floods and have been displaced from their traditional homeland. Consequently they’ve suffered from famine; their small numbers make them very vulnerable. They struggle against isolation, marginalisation, and to enter Ugandan national life with their own culture and voice.

For over nine years, AIM has been praying for the 7000 unreached Ik in Northeast Uganda, with the desire to place a Training in Ministry Outreach (TIMO) team among them and tell them the good news of Jesus Christ. But why bother with such a small and forgotten people?

For over 30 years, TIMO has been a major factor in AIM’s strategy for reaching unreached people groups. But how does it work? One thing is clear; it takes time. So where do you start?
