House Father and Children

Hassan Mubiro, his wife Annet Nakayiza, helper Ivan Bakka.
Testimony from Hassan Mubiru, Open hearts Orphanage Ministry (OPHOM)
I was born in a muslim family and I was the youngest in a family of 33 children. I did not have much time with my Muslim father while growing up because my father died when I was seven years old. There was no possibility for much education and we never had enough to eat at home. my mother and other six children were living consistently working on a tea plantation. Some of my brothers died from hunger, malaria and measles without medication.
I gave my life to the Lord Jesus after someone spoke to me about him in 1995. This brought persecution from my family and I came to Mityana to stay away from them.
The few years at school did not help me as a young boy to learn English, the official language of my country. I even had problems forming a simple sentence, but my desire to serve God was great. From the age of 12, I spent my nights with a group of people in the Church praying for a revival of our nation.
With the few words that I could speak in English, I decided to never pray in my native language. With praying and fasting I was able to write and speak English words after a year. So prepared, I was able to attend a Bible school. All teachers came from English speaking countries, that helped a lot and I was one of the best students in my class. At the same time, I was an associate pastor in our little church. In 2006, God spoke to me to plant a church in Mityana, which succeeded in 2007.
I decided to share my basic bible knowledge with other pastors in my town and the surrounding villages, who had little or no opportunity for simple Bible training, which I am doing so far, monthly and whenever there’s an opportunity.
In 2009, God called me to look after orphans and needy children. Two years later, I was married and my wife and I decided to take these children to our home because we only had two children ourselves. The rest of the 120 children we care for at home 12 and 108 all come from poor families and most have lost one or both parents.
We started a business to support us, first with silverfish, and then switched to chicken farming. All profits go to the support of our home. Broiler chickens take a lot of our time because they eat day and night, and we take care of them and teach the children to keep them.
Because our business has little to contribute to the upkeep of this house but better than nothing at all we are so grateful to anyone who prays for this family and the donors to keep this family together. May God bless you richly. Without God putting you in this imperfect situation, we could not make it.
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Hassan Mubiru and Annet Nakayiza
