Kajo Keji is exploding! Two hundred and seventy thousand people have already arrived from refugee camps in the north and west, and another one hundred thousand are expected this year. Most live in tents, but the government and aid agencies have begun to help with building mud huts.
According to Enoka and Michael, there is great hunger… not for food… but for community. “The opportunity to do church planting is incredible.” Enoka and Michael head up the ministry in this area and have organized the training for the church planters.
Several pilot projects have already been completed and seven schools were set up for the children of displaced families. Now 150 church planters are starting their training. They are being trained in “batches” of 20-30 and a main focus is the emerging neighborhoods of Kajo Keji (seen from the air). Some of the refugees moving into this area come from Christian villages where their families were attacked and churches burned to the ground. They are eager to help the teams of church planters to reach the larger population which has had no access to the gospel.

I don't know where th writer got his views from but below are my my perspectives as a native of Kajokeji.
No Humantarian Organization or government agency is helping people to build mud huts...the people have always built the huts for themselves and have continued to do so with no external help!
The people of Kajo Keji have always had the gospel even in exile...infact the gospel was the only thing they had; to share while at the refugee camps in Northern Uganda.
Potraying the people of Kajo Keji as new to the Gospel is just false; the oposite is actually true.
