In March 2019 we moved into our huts. Then we gradually planted the land, which was previously just overgrown with bush grass, and this is what it looks like now, 4 years later, in the evening: It has become a small paradise and due to the environment, in which there are hardly any trees, it […]
Daily activities in Otacpab
Today a short insight into 3 everyday activities here in the village. Shogum is a millet-like grain that is grown a lot up here in the north. The inflorescences are at a height of 1.5-2m on a strong stalk. At the beginning of the film, Annett holds something like this in her hand. It is […]
Fundraising
That’s something we haven’t done extensively in seven years. Behind this is our personal attitude and our experience during this time confirms this very concretely for us. We know that this is not the only way. God will certainly lead other messengers differently and often it is a balancing act. Between naivety on the one […]
Worship 2.0 or “back to the roots”
In the services here in Otacpab, the worship sounded only as you heard in the post about the second baptism. This is an exuberant dance, intense drum and sometimes more shouting than singing. This is perfectly normal. What is in the foreground, the joy of dance or the praise. This is certainly difficult for a […]
Visiting a special Family
Dear ones, Peter, our night watchman, has just said goodbye to cycle to the hospital. There he gets free medication because he is HIV positive. This is a very good institution of the government, that those affected have a chance to get their medication for free. Yesterday we visited a family in Kitgum. We know […]

More and more neighbours are discovering that they themselves can change something about their situation. David and Paul were able to find new instructors and operations will […]
Something culinary
Since we are somewhat limited with our possibilities here in Otacpab, we have adapted to our environment with our lunch. So at noon we eat beans every day, delicious dressed with onions and tomato. In addition, there is usually a porridge, called posho. Either only from brown millet or mixed with Kasava (manioc) flour as […]
The challenge of drinking
We are once again in Otacpab. Every time I am amazed. On the following picture you can see our drinking water: So it comes out of our pipe after Peter has taken it from the well and poured it into our barrel. Brrr sure you can understand that this is a challenging sight. We then […]
Exciting New Year’s Eve 2022
On 29.12. we said goodbye to our children and grandchildren in Kampala and blessed them for their trip to the USA. On the morning of New Year’s Eve we start towards Northern Uganda. It is a long and exhausting journey and we are not yet acclimatized again. So we decide to spend the night in […]
