Several people have asked our opinion on the Kony 2012 video. Last week Shawn put together a video featuring one of our "sons" here at New Hope, who was abducted into Kony's rebel army in 2004, and our Ministry Coordinator (and co-founder).

It's a very complicated issue. We don't have anything against the message of Kony 2012, but it is definitely too simplistic. Even insensitive. It has not been received as well here in Uganda as people might have hoped. And I'll end there.
