Palmer's People (#1 of 8)

A profile of one of Palmer Robertson's 20 pioneer students in Uganda
Christopher Odongo

Christopher's father was killed by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA - a brutal cult in the north of Uganda whose adherents capture local people and mutilate or kill them) when he was 8 years old. He was saved in 1996 at the age of 16 and since then the Lord has providentially seen him through his secondary education and even through a diploma in Christian Ministries. For the last two years he has worked as the program coordinator of Africa Resource Ministries in the Lira and Apac districts of Uganda, two of the areas where the LRA has been most active. During the last year he organized pastoral training and graduated 150 church ministers at certificate level. His great desire is to teach the Word to pastors who have no Bible training, and to evangelize.
