Faith Evangelical Seminary FAITH EVANGELICAL SEMINARY RESTORING JUSTICE TO CHILDREN IN THE NATION OF UGANDA AS A WITNESS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST SUBMITTED TO DR. GARY WALDRON IN FULFILLMENT OF DISSERTATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MINISTRY IN STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP BY THOMAS DENNY JONEZ JUNE, 2007 COMMITTEE APPROVAL ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ABSTRACT RESTORING JUSTICE TO CHILDREN IN THE NATION OF UGANDA AS A WITNESS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST THOMAS DENNY JONEZ This study deals with the problem of restoring biblical justice to children in the nation of Uganda. Scripture states that the foundation of the Kingdom of God is both righteousness and justice and yet for the most part, the evangelical church has focused on righteousness to the exclusion of the biblical mandate to address justice as well. The absence of such justice in the nation of Uganda has had a significant and adverse impact on children. This study includes an overview of justice in the Old and New Testaments, a summary of the history of Uganda, a review of the civil strife that has plagued the people of Northern Uganda, a specific analysis of the dominant people-group who inhabit Northern Uganda, as well as an overview of the spiritual issues resident in the nation historically. Included will be a depiction of the efforts presently underway by the non-profit organization Restore International to address justice issues for children in Uganda, including their strategy to improve the judicial system, free and restore young women who are victims of human trafficking and forced prostitution, efforts to establish court proceedings in former civil conflict locations and to rebuild schools in the war-torn North region of Uganda. This study will include a review of the activity of one US-based church in its role as a participant in the restoration of justice to children in Uganda through the vehicle of Restore International. ii Conclusions and lessons will be summarized that may be useful for those who have a desire to impact other nations and/or unreached people groups with a combination of practical humanitarian assistance and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A summary of potential transfer lessons will be included at the conclusion of this study. iii Copyright © 2007 Thomas Denny Jonez ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iv ABBREVIATIONS BBC British Broadcasting Company CIA Central Intelligence Agency ed. edition ESA Evangelicals for Social Action IJM International Justice Mission IVP InterVarsity Press LRA Lord’s Resistance Army n.p. no pages NASB95 New American Standard Bible, 1995 Edition NIV New International Version PDF Portable Document Format (Adobe®) U.S. United States UK United Kingdom UNICEF United Nations Children’s Fund (current name; shortened from “United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund” in 1953) v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “Have you ever considered completing your Doctorate?” With those simple words - formed as an encouraging rhetorical interrogative - Dr. Michael Jay Adams changed my academic life. For this I am now, and will forever remain, grateful. In like manner Dr. Gary Waldron virtually insisted (with a knowing sparkle in his eyes) that this study focus on the work of Restore International. To Dr. Waldron and Dr. Lynn Henry-Smith, who has taught me more than I ever knew about academic research and its form, “Thank you,” is a true understatement. To Restore International’s Founder, Bob Goff and his law-firm partner Danny DeWalt, both dear friends as well as colleagues, there is no possibility that this document would exist without your constant and sustaining support. Words are simply inadequate. To faithful friends, Morrie Pigott, Scott Mitchell and Aaron Atkission, thank you for the ever-present encouragement to stay the course and finish the task without delay or compromise. But at the head of the line stand my faithful wife Faye and loving daughter Aneliese who have been the ultimate teammates in this study; a study which has absorbed every waking “spare” moment - month after month, after month! Your love and support coupled with that of our parents, has been unwavering. There is simply no possibility that vi this study would ever have been completed without you; nor would I have ever wanted to attempt it in the absence of your partnership. This is a study of the brave efforts by the team at Restore International to minister to children who have suffered greatly and wrongly under the tyranny of injustice, even unspeakable injustice. Moreover, it is a brief treatise regarding the love of a living and personal Creator who never sleeps or slumbers – nor will He ever – until justice returns and the glory of His Kingdom dawns in the life experience of all children, everywhere. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................... ii TABLE OF CONTENTS....................................................................................................... viii LIST OF FIGURES .............................................................................................................. ix TITLE OF STUDY ................................................................................................................1 CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................1 CHAPTER 2 – JUSTICE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT....................................................13 CHAPTER 3 – JUSTICE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT ...................................................25 CHAPTER 4 – EVANGELICALS AND JUSTICE...........................................................32 CHAPTER 5 – A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE NATION OF UGANDA ..........................38 CHAPTER 6 – THE CIVIL STRIFE IN NORTHERN UGANDA ...................................52 CHAPTER 7 – THE ACHOLI PEOPLE OF NORTHERN UGANDA.............................60 CHAPTER 8 – JUSTICE IN UGANDA’S SPIRITUAL CLIMATE.................................71 CHAPTER 9 – THE FORMATION OF RESTORE INTERNATIONAL.........................84 CHAPTER 10 – RESCUING CHILDREN FROM FORCED PROSTITUTION................92 CHAPTER 11 – IMPROVING THE SYSTEM OF JUSTICE IN UGANDA .....................99 CHAPTER 12 – A CHRIST-CENTERED SCHOOL FOR UGANDAN CHILDREN.....105 CHAPTER 13 – THE LOCAL CHURCH IN AMERICA: A CASE STUDY...................111 CHAPTER 14 – CONCLUSIONS AND LESSONS..........................................................116 BIBLIOGRAPHY ............................................................................................................123 viii LIST OF FIGURES FIGURE 1 OLD TESTAMENT JUSTICE............................................................. 14 FIGURE 2 CONTRASTING LAWS...................................................................... 16 FIGURE 3 NEW TESTAMENT JUSTICE............................................................ 27 FIGURE 4 UGANDA’S NATURAL NORTH-SOUTH DIVIDE.......................... 39 FIGURE 5 THE FIVE KINGDOMS....................................................................... 41 FIGURE 6 AREAS AFFECTED BY THE LRA.................................................... 53 FIGURE 7 JOSEPH KONY.................................................................................... 54 FIGURE 8 VINCENT OTTI................................................................................... 57 FIGURE 9 ACHOLI UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP........................................ 60 FIGURE 10 ACHOLI ATTIRE: TRADITIONAL AND MODERN....................... 61 FIGURE 11 ACHOLILAND..................................................................................... 62 FIGURE 12 ACHOLI CHILDREN........................................................................... 64 FIGURE 13 SAMPLE ENGLISH LANGUAGE CURRICULUM.......................... 108 ix TITLE OF STUDY RESTORING JUSTICE TO CHILDREN IN THE NATION OF UGANDA AS A WITNESS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION PROBLEM ADDRESSED BY THE STUDY This study deals with the problem of restoring biblical justice to children in the nation of Uganda. IMPORTANCE OF THE PROBLEM Scripture states that the foundation of the Kingdom of God is both righteousness and justice and yet for the most part, the evangelical church has focused on righteousness to the exclusion of the biblical mandate to address justice as well. Bob Roberts summarizes the concern when he says, “The Church has been stripped of its power and influence in the West today, not because it has lost its wealth and position in society – it hasn’t – but because the church has lost its credibility.”1 Roberts clarifies that this includes a loss of credibility with both true spiritual life (righteousness) and the resulting lack of impact that God’s people express in the world. Describing his concern, he further states: ...I ached over the flaws in our understanding of what it is that we invite people to experience and our inability to engage the culture at a significant depth. Where is the church today speaking to justice and mercy? Where is the church today serving the poor and the hurting? Where is the church today serving as a prophet to society?2 1 Bob Roberts, Jr., Transformation: How Global Churches Transform Lives and the World, (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2006), 15. 2 Roberts, Transformation, 18. Even though Roberts identifies the starting point as real, vital, transforming personal faith (righteousness), it is the purpose of this study to focus specifically on the issue of addressing

Copyright © 2017 CNA Abstract The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), led by Ugandan national Joseph Kony, has survived for over three decades despite a concerted effort to defeat it. The LRA was formed in the late 1980s in response to the historic marginalization of the Acholi people, inequitable treatment by the Ugandan government and uneven development across the country. The LRA became a powerfully destructive force in northern Uganda, with thousands of combatants killing over 100,000 people. Since 2006, the group has been largely degraded to less than 150 core combatants, and is currently in survival mode on the borders of the Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, and South Sudan.

Spirit of Uganda 2012 Program page 1 of 13 Director’s Note Dance and music in Africa are the Breath of Life. The deeper we breathe, the longer we live, and the more diverse and culturally rich we become. The beauty of African dance and music lies in the authenticity of our embedded traditions that are carried from one generation to another. Like our elders and ancestors before us, our creative legacy will be added to this long history when we take our last breaths. African music is nearly always coupled with some other art form, such as poetry, ritual or dance. All of these art forms are rooted in rhythm. Through interaction and creativity our culture is constantly moving, growing and changing. And together, they reveal the African life and soul. More than 50 distinct ethnic groups contribute to Uganda’s rich culture and while modern borders are fixed, these cultures spill out across traditional territories into neighboring countries.

  • African Studies Quarterly
    African Studies Quarterly Volume 8, Issue 2 Spring 2005 Neither Peace nor Justice: Political Violence and the Peasantry in Northern Uganda, 1986-1998 ADAM BRANCH Abstract: Uncertainty abounds concerning the 19-year conflict in Northern Uganda between the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the Ugandan government. Two questions have received the most attention and could have the most bearing on efforts to resolve the conflict: first, why has the Ugandan government been unable or unwilling to end the war for nineteen years? Second, why has the LRA chosen to use extreme violence against the Acholi instead of trying to build popular support? First, this article addresses these questions, arguing that the debate has failed to take into account the political agency of the Acholi peasantry in the conflict and the relations between the peasantry and government, on the one hand, and the peasantry and the LRA, on the other. By putting the Acholi peasantry and its relations with government and rebels at the center of the analysis, the longevity of the war and the tendency by both rebels and government to use violence against the peasantry can be made sense of as a consequence of both sides' failure to realize an effective popular mobilization among the Acholi. Second, the article traces historically these failures of popular mobilization and the paths by which both the Ugandan government and the LRA came to see the population as a threat and potential enemy instead of as a potential support base. Third, by putting the people at the center of the analysis of the conflict, the groundwork is laid for putting the people at the center of the resolution of the conflict, transcending the current tendency of conflict resolution agendas to focus only on elites, treating the civilian population as passive bystanders or victims.

  • Kony, Conflict, and the Cultural Impacts in Northern Uganda By
    A Lost Generation? Kony, Conflict, and the Cultural Impacts in Northern Uganda by David W. Westfall M.A., Kansas State University, 2009 An Abstract of a Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work College of Arts and Sciences Kansas State University Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Abstract For over two decades the people of northern Uganda endured horrific atrocities during Africa’s forgotten war in the form of attacks and child abductions by the Lord’s Resistance Army, animal rustling by neighboring ethnic groups, and internal displacement of an unimaginable 90 percent of the northern parts of the country. With the majority of internally displaced persons spending over a decade in IDP camps, an entire generation of Acholi was socialized and acculturated in a non-traditional environment. A decade after the last LRA attack, I ask, what are the cultural impacts of the conflict and how has the culture recovered from the trauma. Using ethnographic analysis, this dissertation is rooted in over 150 interviews. While it has been presented to the world at large that Joseph Kony’s LRA is the one of the biggest problems facing the region, I found it is not the case. Interviewees discussed serious inadequacies in education, land conflict, culture loss, climate change, drought, famine, a perceived generational divide, and a strong distrust of the Ugandan government. Additionally this research examines the case of Uganda through the lens of, and attempts to build upon, Jeffrey Alexander’s cultural trauma process. I argue the increasing reach and instantaneous nature of social media can interact with, alter, and prolong the trauma process.
