GOD IS OUR HERO.

Mercy Alive Africa’s 21st/09/2015 outreach program was simple and easy! Because it was prepared well and the experience turned out to be awesome to everyone including the volunteers, kids.

Around 7:00pm the team attended the live jazz music event at the national theatre after which the team went onto the streets looking for the street kids who sleep on the verandas at 11:00pm.

Fortunately Flavia found a group of street kids a few meters after Watoto church who were preparing for their night’s sleep, from the interactions between the street kids and the Mercy Alive Africa team,  a few boys opened up to the team and shared their horror testimonies of the streets.

As these discussions were taking place the team took interest in bringing back home one boy among these street kids called Ronald Ampeirwe who had ran away from his home in Fort portal 299 kilometers from Kampala, he had spent one month on the streets and Ronald was very ready to join Mercy Alive Africa home. Ronald told us about his painful life at home.

Ronald is now living with Mercy Alive Africa family and he is behaving relatively well.  Say a prayer for Ronald because he is having a terrible fever!

We are very thankful for each one of you our dear friends and thanks for all the prayers.

On behalf of Mercy Alive Africa Family.

God bless you all.

ANOTHER SLUM OUTREACH.

Mercy Alive Africa and its entire team would like to send their love greetings to you all our friends. We thank everyone who takes time to come and spend time with the boys. We pray and hope you have a fruitful weekend.
We are thankful for all the testimonies, hopes and desires the group has and we pray and look forward for more.
With more than 3500 street kids in kampala, its among Mercy alive Africa prograns to visit children on the streets of kampala with a purpose of providing counselling, play some games and discuss their possible chances of being enrolled in to the home and resettle many other children.

Today we met , talked and played some games like soccer with the boys in the slums.
We had group discussions, one on one sessions by the volunteers and the boys and it is so amazing to see a few boys are ready to be resettled back with their families as others want to come to the shelter.
"Take your faith to the streets, was a statement on one of the street kid's tshirt" And it was a good time for we discussed it with the boys.
We thank you all for your prayers.
God bless you.

HOUSE WORK ACTIVITIES.
These are some pictures of what the boys do for instance cleaning, washing among others.
House work enables them to learn and to keep time. It brings connection among the boys since their share activities and help each other.
Through house work, we get to observe what and which activity they need to know more and learn

We are thankful to see how God changes their lives in the various ways.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL RESETTLEMENT.
Dear our friends.
It is with great pleasure and love that we send you regards to you all. We bring to you another successful resettlement of one of the former street kid.
This is Benjamin who are very pleasured that he is off the streets. we first met Benjamin in the slums of kivulu during our outreaches. we got to have a chat with him and he informed us that he came on the streets at a very young age because of his parents' split and each time he was taken home, he kept running away because his parents kept on having arguments despite the fact that they had split. His mother picked him the last time and took him to stay with his father who had the abilities to stay and try look after him.
sadly his mother died after some time, and her death affected him so much because he kept on coming back on the streets.
we are thankful, we got to meet Benjamin and managed to get in touch with his father who welcomed him back home and will take him back to school so as he can complete his senior four.
we kindly ask you our friends to pray for Benjamin to pass his senior four final exams which will be done this year in October and say prayers for his family for God to strengthen them and show them the best of how to help Benjamin.

we also would love to thank all parents looking after their children and providing for each of their needs which in turn helps to reduce on the number of street children.

Mercy Alive Africa Visits the Uganda National Theatre (14/09/2015):

We pray that the Lord has blessed you, our dear friends with mercy!! The staff of Mercy Alive Africa was able to attend the Live Jazz Music performance at the national theatre yesterday at 7:30pm.

It was a great privilege to interact with the amazing people that attended the event because it created an opportunity for the team to share the story and work of Mercy Alive Africa home, the team also welcomed all willing volunteers with good intentions and motives to join Mercy Alive Africa’s organized projects to work with the staff at any time of their will.

Well it was a great experience to share, interact and had some fun when the band played Miriam Makeba’s classics, Sami Kuti’s greatest and our very own local music celebrity Maddox Sematimba.

Fortunately the team of European volunteers that we asked to work with us, promised to visit Mercy Alive Africa’s home even though they are already working with organizations similar to Mercy Alive Africa around and outside Kampala City.
