From Africa News-He became their vessel used to help at a very crucial season of their life.
Every week at Parolinya camp in northern Uganda, Bishop Emmanuel Murye’s congregation – made up mostly of South Sudanese refugees, meet under a tree for Sunday service.
They came at the start of 2017 from their homes in Kajo Keji, South Sudan – as the government and two rebel groups battled for control in a war sparked by a feud between President Salva Kiir and his former deputy Riek Machar.
Bishop Murye had been installed as the new Anglican bishop of Kajo Keji county just days before the fighting broke out.
He sheltered dozens of families in his church compound until the fighting died down. Thousands of people fled to Uganda.
Murye stayed and organized trucks to carry over 100 people across the border.
Kajo Keji became a ghost town – almost everyone left and Bishop Murye decided to follow his church.
