Lazarus Is Well Enough Now And My Curiosity Led Me To Find Out How He Got To The Streets. He Narrated In Tears:

In 2003 My Father And Uncles Were Captured And Butchered Right In front Of My Face By The L R A Rebels… My Mother Was Raped In front Of Me Until She Begged For Death… As If That Was Not Enough I Was Ordered To Lay With My Own Mother… She Begged And Begged All Vain… She Was Also Brutally Killed, They Cut Off He Breasts And Tongue And She Bled To Death….then They Took Me With Them..

When I Escaped In 2005 With All My Parents Dead, I Came To The Streets of Soroti Which Has Always Been My Survival Zone… All This While I Didn’t Know I Was H I V Positive. Then I Got Understanding That I Got It From My Own Mother. It Is So Sad Even Though I Try Not to Cry.

Thank U Very For The Care U’ve Given Me.. I Would Be Dead By Now If Not For Ur Help. Now That I Know my Status, I’ll Live With It. If Only I Could Get A Jacket 4 The Cold Nights On The Streets. It Is The Wish I Have..   Lazarus

Tom Ejiet, Soroti ABU Street Pastor

—————————————————————-

Dearest Tom,

Sure we can get him a jacket. I know that story of horror way too well. Tom, I want to show you how to minister to him so that he can have inner healing through Jesus. You need to take Jesus into those most painful places inside of Lazarus.

One thing we do in our child-soldier abuse therapy program that is very effective, is:

1. Have him draw in the dirt with a stick these things:  (just do one in a day)

LOSS (losing and destroying his parents)
ANGER (becoming infected?)
GRIEF   (all alone with disease?)
SHAME (lying with mother?)
FEAR    (spiritual fear that he is responsible?)

2. Then tell him that these things are important to God and to you…and that Jesus can bring him healing. Ask Jesus to come and take the pain away, and then have him kick the pictures away, as symbolic of Jesus releasing him from the pain. Let him cry. Let Jesus release him from that horror.

Thank-you Tom for entering his world. Jesus feels the pain of all of the x-child-soldiers and longs for people like you that he can use to bring his healing to their souls.  Let me know how it goes…love you, mom

Ivan, Issac, Brian

Dear Mum,
How are you? Hope you doing well. January was our first month of work since being left in charge of the Bududa Street Kid’s Ministry after Brian went to a new city.  We really like the work. We have managed to rescue a big number of souls  since we were also some of the street kids rescued.

When we lost our parents, life became hard so we were part of a gang of boys on the street, who would do all sorts of evil things. We would steal, smoke, drink and do all bad habits. When Brian came preaching to us, we saw it as trash and we could even try to fight him. But the reality is God has good plans for every person on earth. Because Brian insisted of preaching to our group, the two of us were got, and look where we are now. We are pastors after that notorious life we have been through…….. We were hated by the whole society  just because of our bad behaviors but now we are liked by many, just because of your work and Brian’s efforts. We would do all the bad things, but just because of you, we are the ones stopping others from doing it,,,,,,, don’t you see that the Lord is very great?

Mum of recent the government warned people to leave a certain area because they have noticed danger in it from the mud-slides that are always happening on our mountains.  But the most sad thing is that our friends whom we used to be with doing bad things, are in that area. And the truth is, we don’t want to see them die but we want to go there and preach the gospel. We are requesting for your help so that we can rescue them to a safer place and we will use this chance to bring them to Jesus, because they are really in danger and they have no one to help… The marked area is 27 kilometers away from where we are.. We will need Brian to help us do this because he has ever done it before and he know’ s the procedure of how to do it.. But mum we really need to see them alive.

At the end of Jan. there was some big man who had a bad group, and his job was to get young girls from the streets and use them as his capital. Men would come and sleep with them and they pay the man and the man would buy them food. We have been praying daily for God to stop this and God did it ! The man was arrested for dealing in drugs and we came in to rescue these girls. They now sleep at the shelter you gave us money to build last month. It was just in time. We are kindly requesting your support of 120,000 to buy them bed sheets to cover themselves as we counsel them and teach them about how to live a Godly life. We would like to provide them with some food while they stay there.

We want to thank you for the work you doing. Please send our February money because we are out of food. Tell Brian if he is coming he should bring us a better phone battery that can take some long days because power is a serious problem here.
GOD BLESS YOU
IVAN AND ISAAC

Am known as Amado Christine, a Ugandan by nationality, an Itesot by tribe. I come from the eastern part of Uganda in Amuria district. My life is described by the endless cycle of suffering after all my parents passed away when i was fifteen years old.

My dad was a poor business man. He rides a bicycle miles and miles to reach the market to sell his agricultural produce for our family. One day he got in serious accident that took his life away in 2010. He fell and the bicycle brakes pierced his chest deeply, so he died on the spot. One year later my mom was poisoned.

I was the firstborn followed by my young brother Wancha Simon. We were taken to stay with our uncle in may 2011. But he was too rude so i couldn’t stay with him for a long time. I was called by my aunt, so i decided to go and stay with her. But there, life became more difficult for me, because my aunt had a bar.

So i was doing a lot of work washing her clothes, mopping, washing utensils, and to attend to the bar serving customers while cooking. My aunt used me as her money pot. She used to get money from her drunk customers in order to have sex with me. I was openly raped two or more times in a day.

My first raped was terrible since i was just sixteen. I passed out blood like a slaughtered goat. She threatened to kill me if i tell anyone. There was no proper attention she could give me and i couldn’t walk even, but i managed to boil warm water for myself until i became better. But still she used to send her men to force me to have sex with them because they had paid her for it.

I escaped to the streets in June 2012, and i started selling sim cards for the mobile company called Uganda Tellecom for my survival. But i had nowhere to sleep. So even on the street i was raped and i conceived, but i had miscarriage because of continuous serious rape on me. I have been attacked, beaten, and raped on the street five times during this last seven month.

Life is not worthwhile for me. I feel school is more safe to be in than being in this kind of isolation. I need someone to help me, to get me out of this streets. Me as a girl I am weak to fight every day and night on the streets and i have no were to go. Can someone adopt me as her child ? I am talking to the mothers. Please i need school.
Christine

If you would like to help Christine go to school, we can put her in a boarding school for $50 /month. The streets are filled with girls just like Christine so please help our Ugandan Street Pastors be enabled to help them. Below are many ways you can help:

Hoping you are fair. back to me i am also doing fine with and with miraculous healing powers! This is what happened:
Yesterday night two street kids I did not know were very sick. One was sick of malaria and the other was having bad cough that could be TB.. They came to me requesting me to take them to hospital but i didn’t have money…so i told them that the God I serve can heal them.

They were very sick so i told them to kneel down and i first started with a worship song then i prayed for them for about 2 hours….. After 4 hours from the time of prayer, they were all healed/ became fine. And today’s morning, they are back strong, alive and kicking. Glory be to God.
I am happy that God is using me.

Besides mommy, please we are supposed to have a public service project the kids are doing for community tomorrow. Please help me with 200,000 for it please. I will be happy.

Am sorry power was off, it’s now back! PRAISE GOD!! I am just from Church and i had to branch to write this report before i reach home. Please thanks a lot for what you have done to these kids they are so happy indeed!

Mother this the report of the accident that happened on Christmas Day!

Am by names Moiti Evans, Entebbe ABU Street Pastor.

It started on 20th/12/2012, i had a dream at night while i was sleeping when it was coming in a loud and soft voice from a distance. i wake up and prayed for God to really interpret for me the massage i was hearing that night. After finishing praying there were some verses which come to my mind i hurried to read them quickly..

Luke 23:33-34

Matthew 6:14-1

Luke 17:3-4
Luke 6:36-37 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. (37) “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

I had to pray again for almost 30 minuets and there come a vision of moving with the cross on streets with street kids while praying. I was so happy for what God had showed me i thanked so much and i told Mum Jane if she could help me. Definitely she loved it so much and i was very happy for what i was going to do! i asked for some money to  make the kids happy when we are going to move with the cross. Mom gave it to me, so i thanked God for that to Bless her much for what she was doing for his Glory!!

So i set the date for 25TH/12/2012. We first went to Church in the morning. After i bought some food and some sodas for them i looked for a camera man but they where all busy and booked so i failed to make it. Pleas am sorry for that!

It was at around 2:00pm in the afternoon when i organized them and preached the above verses and i went on telling them we pray for God to clean our hearts for what we have done bad to others and for what people have done bad to us. God forgave us as we forgive every one but mostly those who mistreat us on street. After that we started moving with our cross on street!

wow i liked this so much! Many people where looking at us wondering what we were doing but we went on our way through all the street while singing and praying. It was awesome.

On our way back, there was a vehicle coming while over speeding. It was going to knock five kids on the roadside. I tried my level best to save them but i managed to save only two. The three where hurt plus myself as i tried to save them! One got a simple fracture on the hand. The remaining two were in shock with bruises. I got a dislocation on my right leg. The man who knocked us drove and disappeared

.
We where in bad condition, but there was a good Samaritan who helped and took us to the hospital and we got treated but there was no money. I had to give them our ABU president’s number to call so that they can tell him the condition we where in and tell Mum about it. They did so and i THANK GOD THAT WE ARE STILL ALIVE! And we forgive that driver.

After some one week when we are recovering, some street kids came to me and they told me of what they where thinking about! We are very tired of what has happened in our life we have passed through, and which I was going through too! We come here to tell you that we have forgiven everyone who has done wrong to us as well we ask God to forgive us what we did bad to people before we got saved.

They went on asking if it was possible we get for them transport and they got back to their guardians, and help change their lives too! I was very happy because though we got an accident what God spoke to me it has happened! oh yes Praise God. I told Mum about it she was happy too…!She managed to get transport for 20 kids back to their home on an island in Lake Victoria. May God Bless you abundantly Mother! Evans

OUR STORY
For us we were bad boys on the streets who used to do all bad acts. We used to smoke every type of drug and when Brian came to Bududa we were the boys who were hindering him from doing his job of bringing street-kids to the Lord. We would always attack him, but he would always challenge us in a way. That he used to tell us may the Lord change you as he changed me…

One day he called us when he was with the chairman and he told us his story and we really discovered his past was worse than ours. The chairman tried to advise us and we tried living a Godly life, but as a matter of fact our trying was our beginning and we believe there will be no ending because life is to good with God.

When Brian left in june he requested us to continue from where he had ended and we have changed many hearts of street-kids and drunkards who go around raping young girls on the streets when they are drunk.
Many thanks to Brian and you mum jane for helping us.

HERBERT
Am Herbert aged 18years. i lost both parents due to the mudslides that took place in 2010 and I had to join the friends on the streets and they taught me how to use different drugs like kuber, miraji and marijuana and after time i started thinking life was very good with these drugs because we could do evil things after using them, like to steal, rob and many others but when isaac and his friend came to me of recent and preached to me i decided to live for Jesus because i realized they were like me before, and i thank God for this..i pray and hope to continue with my life in away that i will be loved and respected by others..

THANKS MUM JANE
Ivan and isaac

how are you today? hope your doing well. mom thanks alot for the support your giving us to change the street-kids of Uganda. Most of the people in the society where i live are very happy about the work am doing in Kajanssi..

Yesterday was our first day to do volunteer work in Namasuba and the local council members were very happy about it.

I gathered all of my street kids and we sweeped the streets. And what made me happy was that even the chairman joined me to sweep. We slashed the bushes and cleaned the hospital too. Even church members

requested my kids to give a special song to sing in church on Sunday and we are working on it.

In a way the work we are doing, has made many people realize that street-kids are very useful to the society and this make’s me very happy. Today’s morning at 10am we did our last job and it was very wonderful because we organized a house for a very old woman of 89years and she asked the Lord to bless us abundantly..

ABU is doing the most wonderful job and i believe with time everyone will know of it and like it. mom am requesting if possible you get us some 150,000 for us to have a small party with these kids for what we have done and for the honor and love people have shown the street-kids….Love you, Joy, daughter, ABU Street Pastor Kajansi

I thank GOD who gave to us mom JANE as our gift. Because with out her i wouldn’t be a street pastor and completely I would not stand in front of people and give them the word of God. With honor I preach to them the gospel of Jesus Christ for our Father in heaven has given to us all Active Blessing team members the life of Christ to overcome all.

Since i started working in Lira district this is the worst moment of witnessing a deadly act which i can never for get in life. I believe that it will always remain in my memories forever. I witnessed an ugly act committed on our street kid girl by unknown person who was led by devil. This person[man] used all his power and force to rape our poor girl. Ocheny Robbin[street kid]  14 years old was last night found in old building crying and screaming loudly after being raped. I believe this poor girl was in need of help before the act, but no-one was their to help. I am so sad. She was blooding seriously and she is experiencing a lot of pain in her body parts. mum am so worried and i don’t know what will come next to the life of this girl. And even the type of man who did this, scares/ worries me is the man’s HIV status.

Sweet mum this girl needs to be taken in hospital so that they may test her and also give her medical treatment. mum I so sad to this, please mum i need your help on this because is serious what happened.
May God bless you all who loves “ACTIVE BLESSING UGANDA”
yours faithfully,

opio innocent [street pastor] Lira.
