A heartwarming story is making rounds on social media of an 11-year-old whose deepest desire is to share the love of Jesus Christ with others, and serve as a pastor when he grows up.
Patrick who is under the care of Watoto Church in Uganda, had a tough start in life, but he is looking at radiating the message of love, faith and hope embedded in the gospel.
“We are so grateful he was welcomed into a loving Watoto family,” the Church said on Friday. “At only eleven years old, Patrick is already sharing his faith and love of Jesus with everyone he meets.”
According to Watoto Church, Patrick is known to his family and friends on the village as “Pastor”.
When asked why, he proudly says, “Because that’s what I want to be when I grow up. I want to share the love of Jesus with others.”
Patrick’s story comes amid preparations for the Watoto Children’s Choir online and on-air concert scheduled for:
- 25 July | 4pm on UBC TV & 6pm on NBS Television
- 26 July | 7pm at watotochurch.com/online
The youngster is among the Watoto Children that raise awareness and support for the work of Watoto in Africa, as they sing and worship God with passion and joy thanking Him for how far He has brought them.
The Ministry provides homes and holistic care to over 3,000 orphaned and vulnerable children who receive everything they need to grow up healthy and whole—food, clothing, medical care, education and most of all the love of a mother.
