Sam Williamson on UCB radio
In December, Sam was interviewed on UCB radio about the Shepherds and the TIMO teams desire to reach them with the good news of Jesus Christ and plant a church among them.
Unreached People: Lesotho shepherds
The shepherds live high in the mountains of Lesotho – the Kingdom in the Sky – caring for flocks and herds, which belong to wealthy owners down in the valleys. They live in marginalised, isolated communities outside the reach of the local churches. From five and six years old, these boys and young men work away from their families with no education or literacy skills. But they have a very well-developed oral culture of songs and stories, which are handed down from generation to generation.
