Signs and Wonders from the mixed hearing / deaf DTS team in Gulu town, N. Uganda


Learning from/working with Gulu’s needy townsfolk...

Whilst deaf DTS students like Gatrude (circled), encouraged local deaf students preparing for exams, other students were challenged to respond to several isolated people.

William, my Sudanese outreach co-leader explains:






Lazarus, left, is aged about 48. His relatives rejected him but he has managed to get to the Year 6 standard in primary school and can speak English well. He is about 1m tall and moves by tilting his head back and wriggling his back.

This he has done having been born severely lame with unnaturally short legs and arms. His head is unnaturally large. We showed him the love of Christ by washing him, his clothes, cleaning out his hut and buying him food and a blanket. This is a great testimony in my life.

One woman, a former Lord’s Resistance Army abductee, got healed from back pain after we prayed for her. She has suffered ever since she was beaten whilst in the LRA.
