B is for Beyond
the name KKAB was coined by one of its original members, Ryan McCabe back in 2010. it was kind of a play with Acts1:8 and Buzz Lightyear. 'Beyond' is where each of us in the original team are:Ryan is in Kitgum, Tom is in Texas, I am in Wi, and will visit 3 more states and 2 more countries before I return to Uganda the 31 March.
It has been a difficult year -but, even thru the extremes, His hand is evident. Thanks for your prayers and patience.
Pray for Summer and the Grubers as they are in Lotim in an intensive training until April.
Pray for me as I prepare to 'visit' what has been home for the last 15 years. Its sinking in -I'll transition to living in America and visiting Karamoja...
Pray for success in securing US visas for the KACHEP management team, manager Mukisa and chairman Loumo. We desire that they would join me on a 'final' fundraising tour and meet faithful supporters who wish to continue lifting up Karamoja as I take my leave. its time to become less as others become more.
its time to move beyond
in His timing,
Jean

For Tom and Jean
Dear Lord,
You know our friends so much better than I do. You know their sicknesses and the burden they carry. You also know their heart. Lord, we ask you to be with our friends now as you work in their life. Lord, let your will be done in our friend's life. If there is a sin that needs to be confessed and forgiven, please help them to see their need and confess.
Lord, we pray for our friends just as your Word tells us to pray, for healing.We believe you hear this earnest prayer from our hearts and that it is powerful because of your promise. We have faith in you, Lord, to heal our friends, but we also trust in the plan you have for their life.
Lord, we don't always understand your ways. We don't know why our friends have to suffer, but we trust you. We ask that you look with mercy and grace toward our friends. Nourish their spirit and soul in this time of suffering and comfort them with your presence.
Let our friends know you are there with them through this difficulty. Give them strength. And may you, through this difficulty, be glorified in their life and also in ours.
Amen.
Written by Sarah,
and I am sure also in the Name of Ryan, Mukisa, Miriam, Summer and Melissa

This week.......
We are all in retreat this week with KACHEP. We're at a beautiful Christian retreat center along the Nile called Mto Moyoni. Just now I'm enjoying the unfolding of the morning complete with the praise of various birds and paddling of dugout boats of a few fishermen. Pray that all of us would feel God's touch thru refreshment and renewal of our Spirit, enabling us to passionately continue serving Him in Karamoja

KACHEP Prayer letter october 2011
Karamoja Christian Ethnoveterinary Program
(Uganda)
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Mukisa Ayub is my name and I am the program Manager of KACHEP. Thanks a lot for all your prayers. I would like to share with you about God’s work in Karamoja and for KACHEP. God is doing many wonderful things in Karamoja. KACHEP has been busy in the community. Over the last couple of months we have been able to do several spraying events to control ticks on animals. After spraying the animals, Dr. Tom Reed is able to share a story with the shepherds. This has been very positively received by the community members.
In addition to this we have been de-worming, castrating, and treating against other various diseases. With every animal we treat, we are supporting the people and sharing the love of Jesus with them.
Now let me introduce you to one of our KACHEP members. We have a watchman whose name is Lomokol James, aged 43, married to Magret Leese, age 28. They have six (6) children. The watchman
takes care of the office, making sure that no one steals program assets. He takes his job very seriously and God has blessed him with genuine heart. He is tall and is an indigenous Karamoja from Pian born near our office premises in Nabilatuk. Lomokol and Margret’s fourth child, Kokoi, got very ill. For 3 months she suffered with this sickness, and was repeatedly taken to the local clinic. They thought that it was malaria. Lomokol James was spending all his salary paying medical bills with the hope that she would get better, but nothing happened. One day Lomokol resigned from his job to go home and help his family. Kokoi’s sickness had progressed to such an extent that her neck was bending at a certain angle making it impossible for her to stand or walk. The parents had lost hope, they had spent all of their money and they had no means for helping their child.
One day Margret Leese approached the office and presented the problem to the KACHEP team
concerning the worsening condition of Kokoi. The wife explained the conditions of the family, they were not sleeping at all because the Kokoi was crying all night, the husband had disappeared to go tree cutting to burn and make charcoal for selling to earn some income for survival and he had been away from home for 2 months.
The KACHEP team prayed for this family, and felt God’s leading to get involved. We informed Margret to look for her husband so that we could give them some medical help. Margret found Lomokol James and they came to office with the girl. Indeed she could not walk, and her neck was bent. Dr. Jean contacted some of her friends at Cure children’s hospital in Mbale some 130 Kilometers from our office. We facilitated transportation for the family to go to the hospital. There they diagnosed the child and sent them back to KACHEP with a medical report that said she needed an operation that couldn’t be done in Uganda.
When the family came back to the office after week in the hospital they looked traumatized because they had expected hope but did not find it. They stayed in their home for 2 weeks and we continued to pray over the family, for God’s wisdom and healing.
After the 2 weeks Lomokol James reported that Kokoi’s situation was progressively declining. KACHEP decided to transport Kokoi for the second time to another missionary Hospital called Matany in Moroto District. There the doctor diagnosed Kokoi with Tuberculosis (TB) in the spine. Kokoi was admitted for 2 months in this Missionary Hospital and given proper treatment. Every 3 weeks I would go to visit them, to check on their situation, and give them some financial support. After the two months Kokoi was discharged from hospital, she had healed and was walking normally! When they arrived home in Nabilatuk they reported to our office and everybody was happy and excited, we see God’s hand at work. God had restored their broken hope.
We want to thank all our supporters and prayer partners who have made it possible for us to share God’s hope with the people of Karamoja, especially to Lomokol, Margret and Kokoi. Please continue to pray for us and communities we serve.
God be with you all,
Mukisa Ayub

SPONSORING KARAMOJONG CHILDREN FOR QUALITY EDUCATION
1. Project summary
Karamoja is an area in North Eastern Uganda with arid and semi – arid climate with cattle keeping as the main livelihood for the community. Recent data indicates that Karamoja has the lowest levels of education in the all of Uganda. KACHEP is one of the NGOs which has been sponsoring some vulnerable children to go for education from primary to tertiary levels. Each year we have been sponsoring 23 vulnerable children and 9 are now working.
2. Background, Problem and Opportunities
Karamoja is an area composed with a population of 920,000, but this area is the poorest among the poor ones in Uganda, with poverty indices of 65.5 % compared to other areas with 9.5% in Uganda. Education is very low and all facilities are poor. Parents can’t manage to pay fees from primary to tertiary. Therefore we would like to get support to sponsor primary children and equip them with education; this will also equip them with skills for their sustainability. (Education is an investment and consumption good).
More specifically the project will address the following key objectives:
• Build capacity of the Karamojong to manage themselves through technical and vocation education by the year 2013
• To educate a child and alleviate poverty in Karamoja for self sustainability (education for self sustenance)
• To emancipate the girl child through education, education will reduce child headed families and will make girls stay longer in schools
3. Technical Approach or Methodology
i. Payment of fees to primary school children
ii. Home visits to each family and school visits to each participating school (3xyear)
iii. Vocation and technical education
iv. Student retreats (Guidance and counseling)
4. Anticipated Results
- Development of Karamoja through improved education
- Improved standards of living as a result of employment due to education
- Poverty, ignorance, illiteracy levels and disease will reduce
This project will cost $350 per month for 24 students
By the year 2013 the total cost for primary children and also for vocation and technical education will be $12,600

PO Box 22 Moroto, Uganda
PO Box 22 Moroto, UgandaBackground:
Karamoja is in the arid-semi-arid-lands of NE region of Uganda, East Africa. The Karamojong (920,000) are semi-nomadic pastoralists closely related to those in Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya. They struggle with resources, coupled by cross-border and internal raiding with small arms insecurities. This area lags behind the rest of the country in development indices.
