Mission Moroto Stories: Captain Muhindo
When Rebekah took over Mission Moroto in late 2020 there were 35 Karamojong orphans living with her. But once she settled in and the region began to understand that there was now a genuine orphanage with a caring mother in Moroto District, a trail of orphans and vulnerable children began to come out of the bush and beat a path to Rebekah’s door. Eventually, the police began to depend on Rebekah and her huge family of helpers around the world to care for some of the most desperate and vulnerable. One day, Captain Muhindo, the captain of the Rupa Uganda police, showed up at the door with 4 sisters whose single mother had been murdered. He told Rebekah, “If these girls don’t come here they have no place to go.” Rebekah agreed to take them in. Today, these 4 sisters are healthy and happy and doing well in our school. Many times over the next 5 years the police came with similar requests. Now, there are 351 children at Mission Moroto and room for more as the Lord sends them. Their parents were killed in raids, or mine collapses, or Tuberculosis or Malaria or Typhoid or Brusilla or some other tragedy. For some, their parents are in prison or have abandoned them because of food scarcity. They come to us nearly dead from malnutrition, disease, abuse, and neglect. They come to us terribly frightened, hungry, sick, and nearly naked. The transformation that God works in them in an amazingly short period of time with the love and care of Rebekah, Rubi, Papa Matthew, Mama Lisa and the staff at Mission Moroto is simply stunning. Thank you to all of our donors and sponsors around the world for your prayers and support. This mission is NOT POSSIBLE without you. We love you all. We pray for you constantly. www.missionmoroto.org #missionmorotostories
