Forest PYGMY Peoples of Uganda

Batwa Forest Pygmy Experience - Displaced Peoples of Southwest Uganda

It was our privilege during the Youth Conference in Masaka to disciple students last week, 

who are now on mission this week - village to village & house to house 

among the Batwa, (Forest Pygmies) of Southwest Uganda.  [Unreached People Group]

Youth Conference - Tribal Teams Leading Worship

A couple of buss loads of students are heading to the villages among the displaced Batwa Peoples.

 

Tree Lions and Gorillas of Southwest Uganda

In a land where Lions live among the Trees, and Gorillas trump the land rights of indigenous people, an impenetrable forest lies before them.
The Batwa people though small in stature have survived against tremendous odds.  

After being kicked out of their forest by the Ugandan Authorities, they struggle to find their identity.
Though they believe in a creator god, the Judeo/Christian God of the Bible is foreign to most of them.
 

Commissioning of the Many Teams & Tribes represented in the Youth Conference of Masaka 2016

It will be the task of the students we commissioned last week, 

to spend the week among the Batwa people this week and share their faith, their bibles, their fellowship, their hope, and most importantly the Love that Jesus has to offer.

Pray for these students that God will grant them the words to share His story.

Pray for the Batwa Peoples that God would restore their dignity, their identity, 

and most importantly - regenerate them thru a repentant heart.  

Oh that they would be hungry and thirsty for the Way, the Truth, and the Light.
