This is the FOCUS Uganda (InterVarsity Equivalent) in Lira, Uganda. Michael Eluku (left) is the Training Secretary for the north.The office is in an old metal container.
As I worked with Michael to plan the Bible & Life Level I conference on Nov 8 I learned some amazing stories about how the ministry of FOCUS is literally changing the country and the church in the area.
Almost every pastor in this city was a student at the University involved in FOCUS. Focus trained them in Bible Study and leadership and they would not be pastors without the influence of the campus ministry.
In a place where seminary training is too expensive and time consuming, to be trained in there undergraduate work is crucial.
As we visited a campus (Uganda Technical) in town and met with the administration, FOCUS is clearly honored by all. It also provides a critical place of unity training as students from radically different Christian backgrounds: pentecostal and Anglican come together in worship and outreach on campus.
