Clear & Simple Media is excited to announce the launch of a project that will soon put books into the hands of churches in the Karamoja Region of Uganda. 

The Karamojong language, spoken by about 700,000 people in Karamoja, northeastern Uganda, belongs to the Eastern Nilotic branch of the Nilo-Saharan language family. The community has roots in migrations about 300 years ago.

Karamoja, located in northeastern Uganda, is home to the Karamojong people and is known for its strong pastoral traditions and close-knit communities. Local churches play an important role in spiritual growth, education, and community life. The initiative in Uganda was initiated under the guidance of our ministry champion in Eastern Africa, Marwa Mwikwabe, who has multiple connections among the Karamojong churches.

The project will distribute translations of both The Jesus Story and Simple Truths for the New Believer to a wide range of readers. Because the books use simple language and place a high value on clarity, Marwa believes they will be helpful tools for discipleship, Bible study, and leadership development in local congregations. By making these resources available, the initiative aims to equip local leaders and promote deeper biblical understanding among the Karamojong people.

As literacy continues to grow in the region, church leaders see accessible Christian literature as an important tool for strengthening believers and supporting ministry. The availability of such materials is expected to build confidence among new readers, support ongoing education, and foster spiritual growth in the Karamojong churches, where resources like these are rare.

We continue to marvel at the growth of Clear & Simple Media books in that part of the world. Thank you to those who support the work prayerfully and financially. God is at work in East Africa.
