Our guest today is an amazing leader and disciple-maker. Carl Gaede, leads Tutapona, a Christ-centered organization that facilitates emotional healing through mental health services for people impacted by war and conflict.
Tutapona’s vision is to bring healing and hope in order to restore relationships, build peaceful communities and glorify Christ.
In 2008, Carl and Julie Gaede, psychotherapists from Wisconsin, moved to Northern Uganda. With a passion to help people affected by the emotional impact of war find emotional healing from their experiences, Tutapona - a Swahili word meaning, ‘We will be healed’ - was born.
Uganda had suffered years of civil war and unrest at the hands of the Lord’s Resistance Army, leaving widows and orphans in its wake. The physical and emotional scars ran deep, but Carl & Julie held hope that a community, once unified by pain, can become a community unified in healing through group-based mental health programming.
Today, Uganda is one of the top 3 refugee receiving nations in the world. Carl and Julie continue to work there in 4 locations around the country, to provide targeted, culturally relevant quality mental health support to some of the 1.4 million people registered as refugees.
You will hear his story today.
