Pastor Joe just started KPC (the church that runs Watoto) in Gulu (see next post to read more about Gulu).

This land was formerly used by President Amin to torture POW’s. The church is trying to buy it and redeem it to be used for the Kingdom of God.
The vision for Watoto.
This is the 2nd largest IDP (Internally Displaced Persons Camp) in Gulu.
Many of the children inside the displacement camp have lost parents and are forced to raise each other.

I am very thankful to see the joy, support, and affirmation of faith you bring to my people. Most of all, I praise the Lord for using you in this mighty way to witness to His grace and faithfulness. I am away from my native african land and feel rather cut off; it is as though, I were maimed and muzzled. But in you, I find spokespersons and innumerable hands to serve. Until the day I return as Nehemiah did, thousands and thousands will pave the way for the rebuilding task that awaits me. Until then, I pray the Lord’s blessings unto those, like you, who sow the seeds of the bountiful harvests to come!!! GA
