In 2012, Four Corners purchased 100 acres of land in the village of Kinene in northern Uganda to build Abaana’s Hope, a community within a community to communicate and demonstrate the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Acholi tribe. 

The greatest impact of Abaana’s Hope is that of its church, Living Stones Community Church. Through Sunday worship and weekly discipleship classes, the men, women, and children of Kinene are taught about the love of Jesus Christ and what it means to be his follower. The most vulnerable children in the community are identified by the elders of the church and become a part of the Child Development Program. These children and others in the community have access to an education based on a Biblical worldview at Living Stones Christian School. Women who have been abandoned find shelter with their children at the Women’s Refuge Center. These women receive employment at the piggery and others receive training through the Life Beads Ministry in making jewelry that provides income with dignity for their families. The sick and suffering receive compassionate care at the Medical Clinic. Men and women learn agricultural techniques and find employment opportunities on the farm which grows food for the school and the community. Men called to preach from surrounding villages and refugee camps are equipped to articulate the gospel clearly and shepherd a flock through the Pastor Training Center. This is Abaana’s Hope. 

All these ministries are Gospel centered allowing our four missionary families to do life with and make disciples of the Acholi people. We are grateful for this opportunity to be a part of our God’s great redemptive story among the Acholi. Join us as we reach every tribe with the Gospel of Jesus!
