Discipleship Changed Natasha’s Life | An Update from Uganda
Natasha experienced great sadness before seeking help from our team in Uganda.
At the time, she was living with her mother who was ill. Natasha’s father was not present in her life, so she cared for her mother alone.
When Natasha arrived at Global Hands of Hope, she was fearful of building relationships with the other children. Since then, her life has transformed, and she is no longer afraid.
Ritah, a ministry leader in Uganda, shared—
“God graciously got a hold of Natasha’s heart. She started to attend chapel and various Bible lessons.”
At Lifesong, we stand by a four-part pledge to the children we serve. The first part of the pledge affirms our commitment to teach orphaned and vulnerable children the Gospel and how to live as a follower of Jesus Christ.
Be taught the Gospel and how to live as a follower of Jesus Christ
Not want for food, clothing, medical care, or shelter
Receive a quality education to provide a foundation for their future
Experience continued love and support while transitioning into adult living
One way children in Uganda experience the Gospel is through being paired with safe-home mothers.
These supportive mentors and caregivers live with the orphaned and vulnerable children we serve in safe homes, making it possible for the children to experience a family-like environment full of love, care, and connection.
Our team hopes to add more safe-home mothers so that for every 12 children, there will be one safe-home mother. This will enable more consistent and frequent one-on-one conversations about the Gospel and other important topics.

In addition to being discipled by her safe-home mother, Natasha decided to speak with Pastor Isaac about faith. Her pastor became a trusted spiritual mentor and helped her answer questions about what it means to receive salvation through Jesus’ finished work on the cross.
Eventually, Natasha made the decision to receive Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
Today, Natasha continues to grow in her understanding of God through His Word and through church teachings. She also sees the Gospel at work every day in the ways our team loves and cares for her with grace and hope.
Pray for Uganda
