Raed grew up as a Muslim and then decided to dedicate his life to follow Jesus. Raed lived in Arua where our House to House team member, Korwen, met him. They developed a discipling relationship over the last few years and this past year Korwen trained Raed to use an app developed to help guide Bible Sharing groups through scriptures.

Raed has since used the app as a guide to found a bible sharing group at his nursing school. He as also taken the opportunity to reach out to the youth, in his home town, sharing Gods love with them during his school breaks.

Raed has grown in his love of Jesus, developed as a servant-leader and grown in confidence to share his faith with those around him.

Our team was able to lead a bible sharing group in 2019 with Kevin (featured) and a few other women. This was an opportunity made possible by a partnership with Kijani Forestry, who asked House to House to give Kijani Staff an opportunity to encounter God and receive our trainings.  We lead a bible sharing group with empowerment in mind. We encouraged Kevin and the other staff to reach out to others, whom may also want to encounter God through scripture and community. With the lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, Kijani staff made significant changes in locations and accessibility. Kevin was relocated from Gulu central out to the Kijani Farm. There, she was able to take our training and begin a church with other Kijani staff members. Due to the lockdowns and the location of Kijani’s farmland the church that Kevin was able to begin with her colleagues was the only church within walking distance. 

Kevin & Momo of Kijani Forestry

During the last 2 years, Kevin was able to take our training and share it with others. She has since trained Momo who is also a part of Kijani forestry. Momo has taken her training and felt empowered to lead a group at a Kijani tree nursery site in a different city. Momo has discipled a group of believers within the staff she works with, integrating God and His love into each part of her home and working life. Momo has seen people who have had a change in their hearts from rejecting God and are now becoming softened towards God and are incorporating prayer into their daily lives. 

We are so encouraged by these amazing women and notice the empowerment that has taken place through our simple replicable trainings. What God planted in Kevin in 2019 has become house churches and a transformation in many peoples lives.
