As part of the Church and Community Mobilisation process Tearfund is working with their Unganda partners Pentecostal Assemblies of God in the village of Wigweng. Pastor Ogweng came to Wigeng village church in 2009. Pastor Ogweng himself struggles to grow enough food. ‘One of the problems I have faced as a pastor is that I realise very little in crop production – because of those problems, educating my children has been a big problem.
However, I have run a bike repair business which has helped me to send my children to school.’Pastor Ogweng looks forward to the Church and Community Mobilisation process starting: ‘It will help not just the practical needs, but the heart, because transformation is so important for the life of the whole person. The two things are very important – the spiritual aspects and the physical body.’
