Because Geoffrey said, "Share it with friends, family, and whoever you would like please!!"
Because our stories are never our own.
Because what God does in one life touches countless others.
Because my teammate, Helena, lives and loves arms-wide-open.
Because the children of Challenge Farm are taught to live and love the same.

Geoffrey wrote me a note with his story.
He told me to share it with everybody.
Prepare to be blessed by a 7th grader:
“Dear Hellena,
Since you came here, you have really blessed my life. I just want to write you my story, because it is hard for me to talk about it. I may cry. I was so sad.
But now I have joy.
Here is my story. Share it with everybody.
I used to stay with my Grandmum. ((I was abandoned by my mum. She threw me away to the river then I was taken by my Grandmum.)) When I was about twelve years old, I was told that my dad died on 1st June 1994. I was about a half a month in my mum’s womb.
One day, my mum came, I was about 12 and a half yrs, and she pretended that she had lost me but it was a lie then she took me to her house at Anderson. Then she said that I was of the other tribe so I had to leave her to my Grandmum again then my Grandmum sent me to Mt. Elgon near Uganda, then I stayed with my uncle for one year, but my uncle’s wife used me as I was a maid so she always tells me to wash her clothes and her husband’s clothes.
If you were the one who was being mistreated like that what would you do?
So for me, I chose to run away to Uganda. Because she used an electric wire to chain me.
In the year 2007 my mum and all my brothers and sisters were killed during the clashes/War of elections. I have lost my family. I don’t have mum, dad, brother, or sister. I am just alone.When I was at Uganda, the sister of my mum was always talking to a mirror then she was always saying “we have to give out a sacrifice.”
I was the one to be taken as a sacrifice.
Then I was told by a sound that: “MY BELOVED SON JUST GO AWAY TO WHERE I WILL SHOW YOU!”
I was sent away by my mum’s sister. Then she sent me a demon. It used me several times. I was near to die.
But God saved me.
When I came here, it came back again then it forced me to jump over the fence then I broke my hand then I was done a surgery two times on 2010. ((While in the hospital Jeremiah 29:11, I remembered it.)) Then I made a song says:
Father I trust you
And I prays you
You died for me
And now I am saved.
That is my beloved song. Find me with free time or anytime I will teach you.
Your beloved one,
Geoffrey #12”
This orphan wrote a song praising God, and I had the honor of hearing Geoffrey’s song. He now lives at Challenge Farm, and he’s in 7th grade.
God saved him, and he now has joy.
Share it with your friends, family, and whoever you would like please!! :]
