Gift and Kathryn Asiku in Uganda
Gift and Kathryn live and work in Uganda with their two teenage sons James and Simon Peter. There are over 42 languages spoken in Uganda. Gift is responsible for overseeing Bible translation in six language communities. Kathryn leads the Literacy Team which supports communities in learning to read.
Members of St. John's church have visited Uganda in recent years and have been able to see just how much reading the Bible in their ‘heart language’ means to local communities. Members of St John’s have also visited Fundo, the village where Gift grew up. Individuals within the church are supporting the ongoing development of Fundo School and enabling some children to further their education by attending secondary school.
