Praise and Prayer
1. Thank the God of heaven and earth for his sustaining of the Diocese of Karamoja over the past 50 years as it has bore witness to Jesus Christ.
2. Pray for the 50th Anniversary Celebrations, that Jesus would be honoured and proclaimed, and that his people would be greatly encouraged.
3. This past 6 months in Karamoja has been very dry. Crops are once again failing and people are facing the very real prospect or going hungry. This includes the great majority of clergy and other ministry minded families. Pray for rain, for wise distribution of food supplies, for the churches ministry to the hungry and poverty stricken, for clergy as they minister to the needy while being needy themselves.
Karamoja celebrates their 50th anniversary of their Diocese this year in October 2026.
Help share Jesus!
And bring hope to one of Uganda’s poorest communities. Karamoja has the second highest poverty rate in Uganda. And Uganda is the 26th poorest country in the world (Global Finance, 2025). You can support from a choice of two projects or both: -
1 Gospel promotion
Karamoja has great gospel opportunities 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.
