Welcome to the family siblings Lorot Paul, Teko Margret, Ngoleluk Luke and Sagal Jacinta!

Every day at Mission Moroto we have a preschool for our 65 preschoolers with a professional teacher, and we invite the local village children to attend and have some porridge. A few days ago, mama Lisa reached down and put her hand on the back of this little child that Rebekah is holding named Sagal Jacinta to guide her up to the porridge line. She was shocked when all she could feel were bones so she asked Rebekah to please check on this little one and find out what is going on with her.

Rebekah found out that she and her two brothers and sister had been coming here every day for two weeks and our cooks have been feeding them and keeping them in their own houses because they knew Mission Moroto is full and busting at the seams.

Little Sagal Jacinta is three years old and can barely walk. She’s so malnourished that without our help she will not live to see four years old so we have taken her and her siblings into our mission and into our hearts at Mission Moroto

We are praying for more sponsors for these precious children and funds to build more houses for them.

Welcome to the family Mother Lucy, David Awas, Nadim Hellen, Sagal Anna, Lokor Josephine, Iriama Lina!

In October 2021 widow Lucy and 5 of her 6 children were all living in a mud hut. They were all starving and sleeping on one twin sized bed. One day Mother Lucy came and asked Rebekah to take her children in to Mission Moroto but since Mission Moroto was at full capacity and there was not a single empty bed, Rebekah had to say no. The widow then went to Pastor Matthew and pleaded with him to take her children in but he said that there was no where for them to sleep.

The widow went back and forth between Rebekah and Pastor Matthew begging and pleading with them and would not take no for an answer until finally she fell down on her knees crying and begging them to take her children. Rebekah and Pastor Matthew were touched by her persistence and by how desperate she was and they said it reminded them of the persistent widow from Luke 18:1-8 and felt they must say yes and not turn her away. Lucy came to work at Mission Moroto as a house mom and one day Rebekah asked about her other two daughters Josephine and Lina. They had been living out in the wilderness and fending for themselves (they are 8 and 10). Rebekah said Nadim! Go get them! So the persistent widow, whom we love, whom is a great blessing to the mission, and her 5 children now live and help at Mission Moroto.

David is now boarding at the apostles of Jesus boarding school in the mountain. The eldest sister Nadim is one of the house moms and takes care of the other children at Mission Moroto, she also sings like an angel in the church choir and planted and tends the gardens. Anna is a very precious girl who is a ray of sunshine everywhere she goes and brings joy to the whole family here at Mission Moroto

We are praying for more sponsors for these precious children and funds to build more houses for them.

Welcome to the family Lokita Lochoro!

Lokita is the younger brother of one of our precious children here at Mission Moroto, Kem Veronica.

He had started living on the street when he was very young to survive and they had not seen each other since they were both very young.

At one of the recent revival meetings Lokita walked in and was recognized by his sister Veronica. It was a very joyous and tearful reunion! Now they are home safe together at Mission Moroto

We are praying for more sponsors for these precious children and funds to build more houses for them.

Welcome to the family Sam Owilli!

Sam was living on the street in a village named Abim about 5 hours west of Moroto. The Mission Moroto team had visited there in January 2021 and Pastor Matthew preached at and befriended a church there.

Our friends at the church in Abim brought Sam to Mission Moroto about a year later. He only spoke Acholi and a little English so it was hard for him to communicate with the other children at Mission Moroto but now he speaks Karamojong very well and is very liked among the children.

He smiles a lot and is mischievous too but a blessing to everyone at Mission Moroto

We are praying for more sponsors for these precious children and funds to build more houses for them.

Welcome to the family Logiel Marko!

Marko and his 2 siblings (Lokonyang Hannah and Lowal John) were orphaned when their mother was killed by raiders this week.

The team at Mission Moroto had been in contact with their mother since December 2022 when they invited her to church and attempted to help her with her mental health issues and alcohol addiction. She had come to church and been prayed over and supported many times during her spells of rage and violence.

Unfortunately during her last mental break she became very violent with her children and was put out of the hut until she calmed down. She ran off and was murdered by raiders that same night leaving all three of the children alone. They were brought home to live here where they will be safe at Mission Moroto

We are praying for more sponsors for these precious children and funds to build more houses for them.
