Roseville Youth Group

     Tonight we will be screening the movie “Invisible Children” at the church building. We will also be having a bit of Ugandan food. In Uganda, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is trying to overthrow the Ugandan government. They are doing this through extremely violent means, including mutilation, rape, torture, massacres, and the abduction of children.

The children are forced to join the army at a very young age, and are brainwashed. In order to escape being abducted, massive numbers of children walk far away from home and sleep together in hospitals, bus parks, and other areas far away from the LRA camps. The children make this commute every night. They are the focus of the movie. We are watching the movie because we need to learn about the difficulties faced by people outside of our world and learn how we can help them.
