A child, born on the streets! Six years of life on the street does something to you. That was Pendeza David's Story. A baby boy mothered by Pascal Eyang and a father whose whereabouts could not be traced.
I have been challenged. I never thought that this was my kind of thing. I was giving it a few months to see if I really wanted to stay. I think I was not prepared for how broken the broken people were. It has been a growing experience for me and challenge to seek God, over and over again.
As a parent, one of the hardest things to watch is, your children and grandchildren suffer in life. This is the weight that Ruth Nabweteme carried. A mother of 4 children and grandmother of 14 grandchildren inclusive of two sets of twins, Ruth told us that she used to live from hand to mouth.
In 2010, she already had 3 children and was expecting another child. Her husband, a casual laborer who did short-term low-paying jobs, could not support the family. Bukirwa, a housewife who did not have proper education, found herself living in these conditions in a mud-house with no windows or ventilator.
During the many years of growing Pendeza Uganda, nothing beats a story of the unbeliever becoming your best agent of change. Such is the story of Solome Senyondo, a support-staff member at Deliverance Church Makerere Hill.
