What an unforgettable and special people! High on the peak of the mountains between Uganda on Kenya is a tribe of people, so marginalized and brave, facing enormous difficulties. We had the opportunity to spend time with them and minister to them twice and hope to again in the upcoming year, Lord willing.

One unfortunate thing is, these very warm, interactive people have been very seriously represented–in a book that is even still studied in Universities and Colleges throughout the world … “The Mountain People” by Collin Turnbull. We actually sat with Ik people who had read the book and who had felt very cheated. We invite you to look at these photos and contact us if you have any questions. From our experiences with the Ik, we found them to be a very special people. They refuse to argue, they don’t believe in violence. That’s one reason they’ve moved to the peaks of the escarpment along the Kenyan border, to try to get away from their violent cattle-raiding neighbors, the Turkana & Dodoth Karimojong.
