Nyole

Nyole men planting rice. (Uganda)

Although a majority of the Banyole would call themselves Christian, their understanding of biblical truth is very limited, and they have not learned to trust God fully. The result is that they often turn to the local shaman and witchdoctors to solve their problems of hunger, poverty and sickness. This will all hopefully change as Bible translation progresses and literacy work increases. The work is still in its infancy but very encouraging as the Banyole themselves have caught the vision for this exciting work.
