Mary Nalubowa's Testimony
Maria was brought to Ray of hope medical centre suffering from a strange disease after being taken to many various hospitals and witchdoctors without any relief. She dropped out of school in senior two because of the sickness. Maria used to vomit all the time and was unable to eat anything for a long time. She was very tiny and very sick looking like she was dying anytime.
Her sister who lives near our home brought her to me at the clinic and told me she brought her because she knew I would treat her and also pray for her. From her history I knew the only thing to do was to trust God for Maria’s life.
I shared with her about the saving grace and mercy of God to heal. She accepted Christ and we prayed for her healing I gave her some water and she did not vomit so by God’s assurance I told her sister to take her home and bring her in the evening at church for more prayers and fellowship.
To God’s glory Maria was brought still weak but was taking fluids without vomiting she was excited about that miracle. Steadfastly God continued healing her she started eating food as well without any problem.
She gained her strength and was zealous to go back to school. We found a sponsor for her and she joined in the middle of the term after missing a number terms. She was the best student in class that very year and she maintained her grades all through. Completing senior four 2006 she was the best student in the whole school.
Completing senior six in 2008 she was among the best students in the entire country scoring 25 points she appeared in the newspapers. This year 2009 Maria is doing her first year pursuing a degree in Law at the Makerere University.
The sad thing was that Maria received her victory news in Mulago Hospital nursing her mother who was very sick. She passed away a few days later. God has given her the grace to cope up with the loss and she is happy at school.
Nagobi Reacheal
She was a young girl and a very quiet church member who was facing challenges yet shy to come out and ask for help? Sometimes she wrote me (Monique) notes to appreciate the sermons but she gave them to ushers to bring them and remained unanimous. She made very nice crochet table cloths and gave them to me as gifts.
All along i requested to see this person who was being nice to me but she would not come out. Time came when her aunt who was paying her school fees ran out money and she was told she won’t be able to continue with school after her senior four that is when we became close with Rachael.
Rachael and her siblings lost both parents to AIDS when they were very young. The neighbors helped them with the little they could until a well-wisher decided to take Rachael to educate her up to senior four.
Rachael joined our sponsorship program where she was educated in an institution to become a laboratory technician. She finished school and got married last year. They are expecting their first baby. Rachael got a job working with Hospital upcountry. She can now help her young sister go to school.
Edward Damba's Testimony
Born on July 2 1987
(Edward was adopted by John and Monique as one in the 1996 when he was 10 years old he lost his father when he was only 9 years in Primary one in 1995. He lived with his mother next to Mubirus’ home and was a playmate with their only son Andrew.
Andrew loved cars and Edward knew how to make toy cars from wires, old slippers and many other toys from used containers. He used to attend church with Andrew. Every day early in the morning, Edward would come to help Andrew with his chores so that they would have enough time to play with their cars.
It turned out that they couldn’t part for a single moment so he would stealthily sleep in the house without their knowledge, Andrew’s siblings and one of the other members in the family knew about the children’s move. One day Andrew and his siblings young as they were sent Phoebe who was then four years then to come and ask their parents to adopt Edward as their brother.
The parents tried to tell her we love Edward and regard him as a nice boy but she insisted that they want him to be a real brother. The parents requested that they give their answer the next day hoping the children will forget about the matter.
Early the next morning Phoebe knocked at the door demanding for the answer as promised. Without discussing the matter the parents just told her it was okay he is now your brother.
She ran very excited to break the news to her siblings. Edward went to his mother who was then sick and bedridden that he had found new parents and assured her that when she dies he will be in good hands. Edward’s mother called Monique and told her what Edward had told her in tears of both pain and joy she said “I can now rest in peace knowing you will care for my son and that nobody should take away Edward from us when she dies.”
Few months later she died. Edward continued school with the help of school fees sponsorship from a very nice lady from Indiana. In the year July 2008 he graduated from vocational school with a certificate in electronic engineering. Edward is in charge of Church electronics at Christ centered. He works as a supervisor in the Ray of Hope children’s sponsorship program. His duties are to ensure children don’t miss classes checking on their performance at school and the situation in their homes and relative duties.
Monique's Testimony
The Almighty God is awesome he gave me the scripture in Jeremiah 33:6 many years ago when i was overwhelmed by the needs of people we were serving in our community and yet we were also very needy. We could go days without food, no good clothing and no house to live in for a number of different times!!
used to feel and hear this assurance that God will eventually bring health and healing to us if we continued to trust Him. He has given us the grace to share the little we had with many people that needed help.
When I was pregnant with my second child the season was very trying, on many occasions the only food we could get was the very small sugar cane that kids used to get for us from an abandoned garden where everyone was searching daily for any cane that could be at least three joints long. On the day I delivered my baby, God did a miracle for us. We had no single coin in the house to neither take me to hospital nor buy the supplies that I needed as a mother.
I never went to hospital for antenatal visits but when I reached full term I thought a friend’s wife who was midwife would help me deliver but the day I delivered was the day I had planned to pay her a visit and make my request. It was a Saturday and the previous Friday night we had an all night prayer service in our home where we had the church shelter. I attended till morning for I couldn’t sleep because I was very hungry and the baby was kicking a lot in my stomach. Being a medical person I used to get worried but prayed in 1Timothy 2:15.
That night I prayed to God to help me and my baby quoting that very scripture as usual. Amazingly in the morning I felt so strong and went to my garden to weed my crops after taking a cup of hot water. My garden was near the house we lived then, a friend came with a basket with a cluster of matooke and some vegetables. I had to come home immediately and prepare the food. Inside I was having the feeling that I was going to deliver anytime.
So I prepared the bed and instruments too. After eating I took a nap and fell into a deep sleep. John my husband had gone out to the next village for a gospel crusade. And Margret my young sister took my daughter Cathy who was 11 months then with her to visit the midwife expecting me to join them later when I woke up as I had planned. They all left me in the deep sleep not wanting to bother me.
When I woke up sitting up I felt the pressure down as the baby was coming out but without pain!! I got so confused and scared I called for help and there was no one in the house. I rushed to my prepared bed and soon I felt another pressure that pushed the baby out. Praise God I was able to suck out the mucus, cut the cord, finish the whole process and cleaned up. The baby was very hungry when I delivered because the stomach was sunken wanted to suck on the breast soon after delivery.
When everybody came back home they found me with my baby Andrew. The midwife was called later to make sure I was okay and repair the small tears I sustained. What a miracle! We had no money for the hospital no nothing! He saved us from the embarrassment as His servants. Such miracles in our lives have always reminded us of God’s faithfulness and we remain focused
There is “RAY OF HOPE”
After many years crying to God wondering when and how He was going to appear he directed our paths just like King David in Psalms 40:1-3 prayed
God heard and stretched his hand to bring us up from the horrible pit and out of the miry clay. He set our feet on the rock and established our steps. He has given us friends in His purpose. I met with Terri in a wonderful way and ever since God has given us the grace to serve him together Terri has been our liaison in the USA. God is using her to find sponsors for the children education and funds to enable us build the medical center. She also coordinates teams for medical, evangelism, women and church leaders’ conferences
