Much of the raiding in Karamoja is over livestock but there has also been an increase in raiding houses for whatever goods they can carry off and also poultry or other smaller animals. For my friend C who lives on the very edge of Moroto she has had thieves try to break in her door at least five times since January. Each night she piles as much as she can against the door to block anyone from breaking in. The other night she called me and asked for prayer as the raiders were once again trying to break in. I prayed with her, thinking of Psalm 91 and other Scripture that focuses on God’s protection. The next day she came and said everyone was OK. Shots had been fired at some of her neighbours’ houses but no-one was killed. Please pray for ones living in very vulnerable housing and who struggle for the few belongings they have and yet are targets for such raids. Pray that they will put their trust in Jesus.
