Death of Another Street Child

Today August 9th, one of the boys that came to the house to be ministered to this past week, was killed. A speeding truck hit him as he was talking on the side of the road. The driver jumped out and ran off after the accident. the 14 year old boy name Denis,was taken to the hospital where he battled for 4 hours before passing away from internal bleeding. Fred was called to the hospital to pick up the boy's body. As of 8:00 pm he was still at the hospital. Fred will be taking the body back to the village the boy came from. It will be hard to locate family because the parents of the boy died a few years back. We are grateful that this boy had the opportunity to hear about God's love for him during the street ministry last week.

Feeding Program Back Up

Back in January the local government stopped us from feeding the street children. They stated that the street children would be removed from the streets by March. Many of the children had been removed by local police using force. One boy had his arm broken and was taken to the hospital by Fred. As of today there are still many street children as young as five living on the streets of Lira. So Fred contacted us saying they were starting the street children's feeding program this past weekend. Pastor John Eckley from South Carolina has been working with Fred for the past month and felt God calling him to minister to the street children. Sunday they brought 25 children in and fed them. Our nurse tended to the sick ones as John ministered to the rest. The children also received HIV/AIDS prevention training. All the children got the chance to bathe and wash their clothes. Fred said that the children left feeling hopeful and refreshed. There is a new girl on the streets along with a few new little ones.
