Prince Fred made his first journey outside Uganda to Lusaka, Zambia. He enjoyed two plane rides, Entebbe, UG to Nairobi, KY and then from Kenya to Lusaka. His first time in flight. They lost his luggage in Nairobi, surprise surprise. Prince Fred said that he felt like everything went so easy. "It was like I've been traveling all my life" he told me after he arrived. While there, Prince Fred is

The Redeemed Boxing Gym & Recreation Center's head trainer, who goes by the name Kidega, was brutally beaten by police about one month ago. Police, on bad information, conducted a raid of a group of people whom they claimed to be rebels. Kidega happened to be in the same place as the group when the raid occurred and got caught in the midst of the chaos.The beating nearly claimed his life and

Thanks to ALL who prayed and gave toward Geofrey coming to the United States. He has begun soccer practices already and registers for classes this week.America has been a completely new but enjoyable experience for him.

It's amazing how we can think God is taking forever to answer prayers. Then, in one swoop He dots all the i's and crosses all the t's...and, that's it! The waiting is over and the prayer is answered.That's how Babra's story happened. Her parents died in the early 2000's leaving her to fend for herself. A young girl with no one to support her, she struggled to work and find means to provide.
