Toposa Outreach Update – August 2021
AUGUST 2021
GAP Analysis: The team has been traveling in a 30-mile perimeter around Kapoeta Town, sometimes on foot and sometimes on motorbike. They have identified an additional 19 unreached villages. The total identified unreached villages is now at 33. The team plans to group the villages into 3’s and minister to 3 villages during each trip. Currently they are doing homestead-to-homestead evangelism and developing relationships with the villagers that will hopefully lead to sustainable evangelism, discipleship, and eventually, church plants!
The team has had a very positive experience during their contact with the Toposa people so far. Within the first two weeks in Toposa, they had already reached more villages than planned! During homestead-to-homestead evangelism, 28 people accepted Christ and pledged to share the Gospel with others in their neighborhood. This has greatly encouraged the team! They are planning to revisit these new converts after the initial survey is complete. The 15 motorbikes that were purchased for the team arrived in Lodwar last week. The bikes have now been dedicated,
The Team walking through a creek to reach a village
