Mission Moroto Stories: Mama Ruth

by Matt Bullen June 4, 2026

In the fall of 2022 we decided to step out on faith and begin the church building at Mission Moroto that we had been dreaming of so we put all the money we had in the world into building the foundation and pouring the floor slab. Rebekah and the children began to march and pray around the foundation. We had a mission team from the U.S. come in December and they walked around the slab and prayed. In January 2023 the money came in and we built our beautiful church building. Easter Day 2023 was opening Sunday of the new church. The whole Mission Moroto family was enjoying a wonderfully anointed service when suddenly a first time visitor, Napeyok Ruth, began to manifest demon possession. She began to scream and attack all the people praying around her. Our pastors quickly attempted to restrain her but she was too strong for them. Rebekah stepped up and laid her hand on Ruth and said, “Come!” Ruth obediently followed Rebekah outside and for the protection of the children Rebekah took her to the gate of the property and told her, “Come back tomorrow and I will help you.” Then Rebekah returned to leading the worship service. The next day, Ruth returned and all the pastors and Rebekah prayed over her at length and she was delivered. From that day to this, she is absolutely the happiest woman any of us have every known. She professed faith in Christ, was baptized, and has served as a house mom at Mission Moroto for a few years. She is always singing, and smiling, and skipping, and dancing. She cares for some of our sickest children and is a wonderful mother to them. Every time she sees someone from the Bullen family on the property she yells and comes running smiling for a big hug. She is a bright light at Mission Moroto. Praise Jesus! www.missionmoroto.org #missionmorotostories
