Approximately 50% of the new believers had been animists, and 10% had been Muslims. The JESUS Film was shown in the Lugbara and Kakwa languages to the Kakwa and Lugbara tribes. Follow-up of the new believers will be handled by the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, the Church of Uganda, and the Pentecostal Church of Uganda. A total of 400 bibles were distributed with 200 bibles in the Kakwa language and 200 bibles in the Lugbara language.
Discipleship follow-up training was conducted on "Overcoming Evil." The following themes and verses were used in this teaching:
- Seek to communiate privately with the person who has wronged you (Matthew 18:15).
- If you can’t get the matter settled, take one or two with you (Matthew 18:16).
- If that does not work, tell it to the church and seek help there (Matthew 18:17).
- Bless those who persecute you (Romans 12:14).
- Paul explains how to overcome evil and how to react when someone wrongs you (Romans 12:17-21).
- Do not seek revenge (Romans 12:17-19; Proverbs 20:22).
- Pursue peace with everyone (Romans 12:18).
- Overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).
- Imitate Jesus by suffering wrongfully, if need be. In no way should you try to get even (1 Peter 2:18-23; 1 Peter 2:21; 1 Peter 3:8-9).
- Love your enemies and do good to them (Matthew 5:43-47; Romans 12:20).
- Turn your other cheek and be kind to the person who has wronged you (Matthew 5:38-42; 1 Thessalonians 5:15).
- Do not testify against your neighbor or seek revenge (Proverbs 24:28-29).
- Moses gives practical examples of what to do after someone has wronged you (Exodus 23:4-5).
