| I have served as the Bishop of the Diocese of Northern Uganda since December 2009, and as a priest for the last 36 years. My experience with the people and especially the Christian community in my Diocese has been very lamentable. For example, more often than not, many poor parishioners would ask me, ‘Bishop, why are we so poor? Does God really care for us?’. These questions show the plight of the people who are trapped in multidimensional poverty that make them to question the authencity of the gospel and its power to release them from their worst state. Therefore, as a shepherd, I have always wrested to make sense of the prophetic proclamation of Jesus Christ to “free the oppressed and proclaim the years of the Lord’ favor” in Luke 4:16-17. Thinking about this passage and the context under which it was written, we realized the need for integral mission that addresses both the evangelistic consequences and social consequences in my diocese and the northern Uganda at large. This inspired us to begin an organization that bring all Christians’ communities from different denominations to re-asses their roles in eliminating extreme poverty from Northern alongside their traditional task of proclaiming the unchanging gospel truth in the changing. It is now my pleasure to interest you to read more about what we are doing? how we are doing it? where we are doing it? why we are doing it? And for who? May God bless you, as you pray for us and consider supporting us to accomplish our mission of, ‘empowering the poor in northern Uganda to participate actively and lead in a transformative action gear toward eradicating multidimensional poverty from the region” |
