Karamoja: a unique mission trip , Pastor Mohan PANIYUR

Pastor Mohan PANIYUR Greetings to the entire CCK Family! You have been very supportive in your prayers and giving (physically & monetarily) towards all the missions ventures we have undertaken and we want to praise and thank Him for the heart of generosity He has s instilled in you. It’s been a mission’s coaster ride since June 2008, when we had our first mission trip to Luwero Island (For Men Only), to Gulu in November 2008, to Kabale in January 2009, to Kasese in April 2009 and quite recently in June 2009 to Karamoja. Mission in Abim, Kotido, & Kaabong The outreach to Karamoja was unique as we partnered with Life Ministry Uganda for the first time. We had the largest contingent of 26 team members along with Calvary Chapel Fort Portal, and were able to split into three small teams, and minister in Abim, Kotido and Kaabong from June 18 – 25, 2009. In all the 3 places, we leaded crusades, showing the Jesus Film and door-to-door evangelism.  Besides, clothes and other items were given to people in Karamoja. Some social work was done and in a place called Kareng, the team cleaned the latrines, boiled water and gave shower to the children. The kids also enjoyed the puppet shows in Kotido.   Karamoja, 2009 Several team members will be sharing their experiences, and we trust that you may be challenged on the need to reach out to others with the Good News of Jesus Christ, wherever you may be placed. The Karamojong people need your earnest prayers for rain, peace and last but least, the perception of the rest of Uganda to change towards them. Personally, as I was down with a severe flue even before leaving, the Lord taught me that He can use me even in sickness, and I thank Him for His grace that was absolutely sufficient. A follow up trip to Karamoja is scheduled from the 3rd -10th September 2009 and we are planning to do more and diversified activities. Young girls, Karamoja 2009 As a church, let’s continue to seek, obey and serve Him, so that others may live for eternity! Blessings
