Some of you who have heard of what Kibo Group (kibogroup.org) does, have heard us talk about eating chapatis, and more than just a good food, many Ugandans make and sell as a small business. There are so many small business opportunities for Ugandans, like getting a little sigiri (charcoal cooker) and making these fried tortillas that have some roots I think in India and that are called chapatis.
Chapatis are best eaten hot, they will make you fat if you don’t walk 5-10 miles a day like lots of Ugandans, but they are soooo good. Our college summer interns would put sugar on them and dip them in chai. Friend and teammate in Uganda, Deron Smith, has been quoted saying, “The only way to eat a hot chapati is hot.” Well said, Deron, and true!Making Chapatis

My wife, Jill, and I have three children: Ashley, Anna, and Jacob. We live in Broken Arrow and I preach for The Journey: a New Generation Church of Christ in Tulsa (www.thejourneychurch.faith). I have a B.A. in Journalism and an M.Div. from Harding School of Theology in Memphis, Tennessee. Before coming to Tulsa, we lived in Nashville, Tennessee four years, where I worked with The Zoe Group and Wineskins Magazine. From 1994-2001 we lived in Jinja, Uganda, where we worked with a church planting team, an experience that forever changed our lives. With Randy Harris, I co-authored Living Jesus: Doing What Jesus Says in the Sermon on the Mount and you can learn about other books I've written at my web site, www.gregtaylor.org. My most recent book co-authored with Randy is Daring Faith: Meeting Jesus in the Book of John.
