Yep, this is where I'm going in 93 days. The country that's been plastered all over YouTube, social media, twitter...you name it. Am I going to a dangerous area? No. Busia is in the southern portion of Uganda. Much of what was mentioned in the viral video produced by Invisible Children centered on the horrible crimes of Kony in Northern Uganda. What's not as well known is that most of the struggle with the LRA has moved out of Uganda's borders. Is Kony a real threat? Heck, yes! A monster! Our pastor used the words "evil personified."
In Busia, the likelihood of those children being abducted by Kony or his LRA minions for the unthinkable was not the same reality. However, this does not mean that the children in Southern Uganda do not also live in fear. This does not mean that they do not fear for their own safety (from those they know), for hunger, for lack of knowledge. These children need prayers. These children need love. These children need a Savior.
93 days....please pray for me & my team as we continue to prepare.
