Support the gospel
Karamoja is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped areas in Uganda. 76% of people are multidimensionally poor and communities face severe challenges, including food insecurity, poor health, limited education, and lack of basic services.
Gospel promotion
There are great opportunities for the gospel and the people are willing, but they’re hindered by limited resources.
The Karamoja Gospel Promotion Partnership Project aims to support the church "to proclaim the Gospel in accordance with Christ's Commission to make disciples of all nations" with:
- clergy stipend and diocesan expenses
- clergy and lay leader training and conferences
- scholarship for theological students
- evangelistic missions
- and other ministry expenses.
