Adam is co-leading a mixed hearing/deaf team team of 11 students and 5 of their dependents here for four weeks, where YWAM Arua has local contacts.
The following extract from a previous YWAM team visit report shows the felt needs: “In Pamaikongo the tone was no different, speaker after speaker echoed the need for intervention and change. Mark Odwar spoke with a lot of bitterness as he recount how they have suffered in the hands of the lords resistant army of Kony, and the Dinkas, he seems to believe that even God might have forgotten them since the government has also neglected them. He cried for Blanket as the place is very cold at night, health centre, schools and teachers, and cooking utensils.
Peter Maksoda who is the chief of the place recounted the effects
of war upon them and said “we were destined for extinction then through the war but we are still destined now through natural calamities as diseases, famine and ignorance”.
One particular young man from Lakulo ayweri said ‘ we are so divided because we don’t have anything that brings us together, we therefore kindly request you to come and build us a church so that we can learn to live in unity.”
