"How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace, And brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, And says - Your God reigns."
Isaiah 52:7

As we entered the Karamoja region with a visiting American team, we knew we were making a footprint in the land for the Kingdom of God. Last year we started a small House of Prayer in a rented room and have watched it grow little by little.
The footprint 👣 looks like this:
-
House of Prayer holding services daily from Monday - Friday
-
Portable Bible Schools throughout the region
-
Trauma Healing throughout the region
-
Pastor's coming together for unity and training
-
Major Crusade at the beginning of this year
-
Mobile Medical Clinic
-
Government breakfast
-
Buying a piece of land to build a permanent House of Prayer and a center for operations

Even the government is honoring and appreciating what God is doing through Favor!

"Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you."
Joshua 1:3
|

Karamoja is the largest region of Uganda and is located in the north east. It is the most underdeveloped region and has a 75% food poverty level. It is characterized by warring tribes, insecurity, famine, malnutrition, street children, lack of education, and mostly many unreached with the Gospel! The Karamajong people are mainly cattle keepers which leads to an abundance of guns, fighting, and warring among the tribes. Food relief is minimal because many people are afraid to go to that area.
|
|
We, as Favor, go where others do not want to go and we are seeing God move across the region of Karamoja. People are so hungry for the truth and so receptive to the Word of God.

Just this week we visited one of the most volatile villages where there are killings daily. They want peace.
|
|
What a strategic moment it was as we arrived the same day that four tribes were going to the bush for peace talks. As we shared about the Light of the World, the Son of God - who comes to transform our hearts with His light when we accept Him - we saw the whole village accept Christ. They promised to take this new found faith into the peace talks in the bush. The Light is more powerful than the darkness and the Light pushes back the darkness. When Jesus steps in - everything changes!
