That the Teso May Know

I am entering the 21st Century and you are here to read it: My first ever blog. The idea herein is to try it out. A test run if you will. But it is a test run with a purpose.

My purpose is to join God & other Christ-followers to catalyze a Church Planting Movement among the Teso of Kenya. The 304,000 Kenyan Teso along the Ugandan border are less than 2% evangelized. An unreached people group (UPG) is what missiologists would call the Teso of Kenya. The Teso of Uganda, however, are highly evangelized or reach with the Gospel.

That all peoples may know the saving power and love of Christ Jesus is my heart & motivation in this matter. The Teso of Kenya is where I believe God has led me & my church to make a difference.

Pray for our Discovery Trip in February '08. Four of us from my church, Southview Baptist Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, will travel to Western Kenya to meet Teso Christ-followers & scout out the opportunities for our involvement.

We will be partnering with missionaries of our Southern Baptist Convention's International Mission Board (IMB) and the Central Eastern Southern Africa (CESA) region.

I share your purpose for the Teso! Its amazing that I found out your site. The Teso people do not have the bible in their own language. This is where we are called to contribute. Please give me your contact and I will share more with you.
I pray that the Teso people would get to know Jesus and to grow in Him!
