Hands Across Nations grew out of a short term mission trip to war torn Northern Uganda in 2001. The plight of the Langi people, suffering under the attacks of brutal rebels, pierced our hearts and we have been returning to the Lira area every year.
God is continuing to work through the challenging times we face! The Ugandan Prisons remain on lock-down due to the Covid-19 virus, and HAN continues “Sharing the Love of Christ in Practical Ways”. Thank you to our generous donors who have enabled us to have an impact in Uganda during 2022 and 2023:

· Supplying literacy class materials in the 12 local prisons and villag-es so the teachers were able to progress with their students in the “Learning to Read to Read the Bible” classes

· Providing medical and surgical care for sick and injured people who Christ brings to us

· Providing food to the “least of these brothers and sisters of Christ” in nearby villages and who arrive daily at our gate

· Helping to repair and replace roofs on houses for the poor while teaching new technical skills to our staff and their children.

Currently Keith and Carolyn Jones will be staying in the USA until Covid Restrictions are lifted in Uganda, God willing, in the Spring.

In 2023, HAN will be using donated funds to focus on:

· Printing the already translated Easy to Read Bible Scripture Books, Primers 1 and 2 “Learning to Read to Read the Bible” books in the Lango Language, and Primer books for learning to speak and read English, the Uganda National language.

· Distribution of Bible Books and Primers with reading glasses to prisons, schools and villages throughout the Lango tribal region. God’s Word in the hands of the people in their native tongue is our goal
