My name is Orao Auma Maurine and (I am) in grade 8. I’m fifteen years old girl from Kibwogi Island. Below is my brief life history.
I was born in 1995 in a family where people never knew the Lord at all. When I was about two years old my mother passed on leaving me with my father, an only child she left behind. Since my mother was our bread-winner, life became so hard that I longed that the earth would open up and swallow me alive. I could miss the very basic needs in life like food, clothes and shelter. By then my father began taking drugs like alcohol, bhang and cigarettes.
My father used to take these drugs and drink very heavily until all the money he had would be finished is when he would come home empty handed. I could not even go to school. I thank God for his grace that enabled me to be selected as one of the many pupils who were to join Gethsemane in 2003.
Since I joined GGC, one of the good things that has happened to me is that the Lord saved my life! I would like to serve the Lord with all my heart, soul and mind. I know, through me many closed doors will be opened.
