12 months after he was born in 1995, Michael Moses was set down by his mother next to the toilets at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Uganda’s capital Kampala, and abandoned.
The hospital management found him alone and in distress, and called local authorities.
In an update published by seasoned Journalist, news anchor and TV presenter Sandrah Twinoburyo, Michael explained Monday that Watoto Child Care Ministries took him to one of the first Watoto permanent homes located in Nankulabye called Olive Gardens.
It is here that he was given a mother who he says took him on as her own, education to inspire him, healthcare to strengthen him, and Biblical truth to know his value and identity in Christ.
Today, Michael is living life unhindered by his past and boldly declaring his faith in Christ.
“All the children have suffered the pain of loss, the pain of being rejected and being abandoned, or the pain of losing the only people that meant everything, mom and dad,” one of the ministry officials spoke to CBN News earlier.
“When you see these children, they are no longer sad. They come from a sad past, but they are not sad anymore because when God is in it, it’s not over,” he continued.
Michael is growing in a deep personal relationship with Jesus and continues to seek Him daily.
“With such a huge smile, he tells me about his greatest highlight in [Watoto Church] which was getting a chance to travel abroad to different countries like England, Norway, Finland and USA,” Sandrah Twinoburyo said.
Michael has since graduated and acquired a diploma in industrial Art.
“All in all Watoto gave me hope and purpose to live. This year I was able to marry my beautiful wife and again it was because of Watoto. Am now giving back to Watoto serving as a youth worker,” Micheal explained.
