Many of you may wonder "where did the money go when I bought a necklace?", well, you're looking at it:) This is the Ssenge house in the Wakiso district just outside of Kampala. Here there are currently 4 "new" boys living a new life away from the streets, and another dozen are on the way. Coming to this point has been over a year of work for the Americans and Ugandans alike that have been involved... but having been to Ssenge, I know it's worth it. However, even if I hadn't been there I would know it's worth it because every day one of those boys sleeps under this roof knowing that he is loved, is one less day of huffing gasoline that rots his body. It's one less day that someone can hurt him. It's one less day of being forgotten.
No real light shone down from Heaven when this place became what it is today, but the reality is better than the dream, it's real life ministry lived with the people for the Kingdom. Nothing real fancy, just the joy of being a part of it all for every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything! If you bought a necklace or gave money or prayed for African Hearts, this is for you too. $20,000 later and a couple years of prayer and this is where we are. Thank you. God Bless you. Welcome to Ssenge.
