Greetings to you all our precious and wonderful friends around the world, we believe that Our God will surely give you a wonderful weekend. Today we are delighted to share with you on how the boys are and what they are learning at the shelter. We thank God’s for his provision and for protecting the boys. We are also grateful and appreciative for Holly Johnson a volunteer from Canada who spends time with the boys at the shelter every Thursday and Friday. We are thankful that she is willing to come and share with the boys and teach them about God and also showing them how ART can be used to express their feelings through drawing among others. Thank you Holly Johnson and we welcome you to Mercy Alive Africa. We also give credit to those who talk to the boys who they meet on the streets, in taxi parks and on roads and find out how they live and survive, know what many of them go, every single word and advice counts.

Children's bibles, story books and Christian Teen Literature. Hoping that all is well with you, we would like to send you our heartfelt greetings to you, as we also wish you a productive week ahead. Today, we post while giving thanks to God first and to all of you, whom He has used to love, support and care about the street children. We appreciate and acknowledge our friend Alice Caisley for loving the boys and thank you for donating many Christian boys to us every single time. Sharing the love and hope of Christ is the mission of MAA. Every street outreach program includes a Bible story time and every evening at the shelter we have a Bible study every evening. Literacy is an essential part of the lives of our boys in the shelter. At the moment we are reading ‘’ GROWING UP GOD’S WAY FOR BOYS’’. In this book, various topics are talked about especially how to handle and deal with the puberty and adolescence (Teen age) in a Godly way.

Ways and how prayer has helped in the transform of the boys! Prayer is communication or a conservation many of us have with God every single day in our lives. It is very vital for every person to spare time and pray for ourselves and other people such as our families, friends among others. It is worthy to note that, for the period we have been with them, we have truly seen a significant impact of Prayer made on their lives amidst hard life they face both on the streets during day and night and also were they live in, stay and play from. We are very happy that every day we spend and meet the boys we pray with them and we have seen so many miracles, prayer has brought in their lives, it has transformed many boys who were so worse and at first it seemed like the boys themselves could not see change but still they prayed for many challenges that they go through such as drug use, aviation fuel, fighting/violence among others. We report now that such bad behaviors have to a great extent reduced amongst them. The above is what we always pray for, to see children grow up with values and hearts of love as one desired by Jesus Christ, We share with them. By continuing to do what we are doing both during street outreaches, at the shelter and when we meet one on one, we hope to see bigger cycles being broken, we dream and see us being able to support many of these children be in schools and learn like other children across the world. We aim at supporting many of them grow physically, emotionally and spiritually by way of receiving from our balanced programs which are well researched and thought of by our committed staffs who have served both this organization and God ‘s children with love. Whatever milestone, this ministry is currently enjoying, it cannot go without the mention and appreciation every single person who has ever prayed and donated so as to support the boys. Thank you, Let’s continue praying for our friends ,street children and our families.

Thank you Douglas Dubois Sebamala. . We would like to thank Douglas Dubios Sebamala for sparing time and visit us at Mercy Alive Africa particularly at the shelter, we appreciate your effort and strength that you managed to visit us despite your busy schedule. Douglas Dubious Sebamala is an actor in a television series called Second chance on NTV and he is called Simon in that series, also a poet, a dancer and he is an old boy (that is he was in the same school with Aunt Flavia in Kitante Hill School 2008-2011). It was such an honor to meet and seen him in person, hear from him on how he made from the school acting to the TV, National theatre among other places. He encouraged the boys on their dreams, hopes and talents and how best to work on them and in this discussion he advised them one on one which was nice because they all spoke of what they enjoy doing and what lights them. We pray and hope Wycliffe can achieve his dream of being a dancer and an engineer, Samuel to be a doctor and Kenneth an agriculturalist and these are all important professionals in the world because each is vital in its way to our communities. Douglas Dubios Sebamala went further and promised to take the boys to watch a play or drama acting at National theatre which will be the first time for the boys to sit and watch a play in the theatre. We look forward to that. Thank you Douglas Dubious Sebamala and Mark for visiting and spending time with us at the shelter. From the management.

"There is nothing impossible for God," ~He said! Samuel has aspirations of becoming a doctor. Despite knowing this is going to require a lot of hard work he is willing to do what it takes. For this young man, the future is bright. We don’t just believe in him, we are very expectant of what is to come for him and cannot wait to watch his journey unfold. We believe that the best is still yet to come for Samuel.

Thankful to God for the street children!
We send you our heartfelt greetings to you all and we would like to wish you a blessed new week in the Mighty and strength of the Lord God, We bless His name and all He is doing in our lives and the lives of the street boys we minister too every day.
With countless support from our dear friends and supporters ,prayer friends, our quality and dedications to serve these boys has never been comprised and the results for our commitment has been able to make this ministry an ever growing organization working with boys on streets to get off Kampala streets, by the use of simple activities such playing football games, showering and washing on the program, conducting praise and worship, sharing of our personal testimonies, Bible study, having lunch with the boys and listening to their needs, has strengthened our relationship with the boys and has effectively grown into major changes in their lives.

We are very grateful to God for transforming the boys we have in the shelter and those we have resettled back to their families. It is noted that many re-settlements usually fail and this makes many of the boys return to the streets of Kampala.
We proud to share with you about our current boys in the house who are have transformed and are all in school and we hope and pray that God continues to change them.
Special thanks to all of you who pray for us.
God bless you all.

OUR RECONCILIATION PROGRAM.
We are grateful that our reconciliation program is underway and it has kicked off on good grounds. So far those that have been driven back to their guardians; we have kalanda Steven who received a warm welcome from his Aunt. We first resettled Kalanda Steven in 2014 after finding his relatives in Entebbe, with various discussions with family; we managed to resettle Steven who among all the children we have resettled has stayed with his family for a full year.

However Steven again ran away from home again this past September and this required us as a team to re-do our meeting up, calling of his family, searching for him on streets and offering more counseling to Kalanda Steven. We are very glad and happy that we worked together with kalanda Steven’s doctors and counselor from one of the most recognized and respected HIV/AIDS hospital in Entebbe and they suggested ideas which are all for the best of Steven’s health and we are very happy that we are all going to assist Steven in the best we all can.
On the other hand we kindly request to remember Steven in your prayers as he starts on the new line of medication. We feel the need to celebrate this achievement because all the mixed feelings between the boy and his family (Relatives) were all discussed at the transitional house, It was all joy and happiness to receive them as members of the family and we are all the family is willing to work with us including his doctors and we continue to pray for Kalanda Steven.
.
As MAA (Mercy Alive Africa) continues to meet immediate needs of the vulnerable children, we are also doing our best to change the perceptions of the community and more especially to those where these children come from. Congratulations to our boys Kalanda Steven who accepted to reconcile with their family. We are very proud of the decision you made, thus this is a good example to the rest of the other boys.
