Just a Sling and a Stone

In June, Tim Pearson, the man who faithfully began the ministry known as JustASlingAndaStone visited Karamoja with us and captured the lives of the Karamojong people through his photos. Tim is a professional photographer, using simple tools just as David used just a sling and a stone. Later, our TCI  board member Craig Botha spoke powerful words over him—reminding us that God often uses simple tools and willing hearts to do far more than we ever could on our own - far beyond human ability!

As we listened again to those words (shared in the video above), we realized how beautifully they describe our work in Karamoja and Western Uganda. The transformation we’re witnessing — lives saved, villages strengthened, families fed, students sponsored and schools built — is far beyond our ability. But God has enabled us to press into the reality of what HE is able to do. It has been God’s work from the beginning.

And He has used our friends and donors to make it possible.

Their giving, their prayers, and their encouragement have been the “stones in the sling”— acts of faith that God has streamed into real, lasting impact in five villages of Karamoja and in the schools we support in Western Uganda.

All of us at Transformed Communities International are SO VERY GRATEFUL!

Thank you to all who have been standing with us, believing in the people we serve, and allowing God to work through your generosity.
