From Kasese to Kigali by Charlie King
Friends, We have wrapped up in Kasese and made the trip to Kigali, Rwanda in one piece. It’s Saturday night, and I am in the guest house in the ALARM campus in Kigali. Lazarus dropped James and me off at the border crossing and we “footed it,” as they say here, through…
Dispatch from Kasese by Charlie King
Friends, Kasese is the district seat, as well as the capital of the Bakonzo people (who make up our students here). The compound of their traditional leader, which they call the Omasinga, is here also. The Bakonzo have inhabited the Rwenzori mountain region from at least the time of colonization, since coming…
On to Kasese by Charlie King
Friends, It’s Sunday. We travelled from Gulu to Kasese yesterday, covering about 650 Km in 10 hours – about half of that was on murram, which is crushed stone that hardens over time, or just plain old dirt. Lazarus hung in there though, and we arrived in one piece. Sometimes the road was…
Grace Church, Kitgum, the Moral Law, and other things by Charlie King
Friends, On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, while TBI was proceeding in Gulu, I travelled to a smaller town called Kitgum, about 120 Km to the east of Gulu. It has been depressed; indeed during the civil war, and then during the years of the LRA, Kitgum was a virtual island. For…

Kaserem Medical Clinic by Charlie King
Friends There is a phrase here in Uganda: “slowly by slowly.” We would say “little by little.” The term is appropriate for all most everything here. Change comes slowly, but it does come. One area in which change is slow is the release from the clutches of dependency, a disease…
Report from Kapchorwa by Charlie King
Friends, Kapchorwa is a delightful place. If you have ever been to upcountry Maui, you would recognize the high altitude, tropical, volcanic mountain environment. Consistently in the 60s and 70s, hot sun in the afternoon, breezes almost all the time, torrential rains in season, cool nights, and absolutely stunning flowers…
Time to go again by Charlie King
I have left the farm behind, and headed back for another iteration of our program of taking the training to the field – aka Trinity Bible Institute. For this trip I will begin in Kapchorwa, with a visit to our Kirwoko Study Center, as well as KTR “Trinity” radio FM…
