Emergency Prayer Request

I received this email early this morning from one of my best friends. Abby works in Kampala, Uganda taking care of street children. She is one of the most incredible people I have ever met and the children she cares for are priceless beyond words. Here is the email--please forward it to your church, friends, etc. Pray.

Dear friends and family,

My heart today is absolutely breaking.

Yesterday, the opening of our house was a bittersweet day. We were
able to take 10 kids into our drop in center, and had a wonderful
celebration. However, we couldnt find two of the kids that were
supposed to come...

We found out that the night before at 3 in the morning 4 kids from our
programs were kidnapped in the middle of the night. Not just any 4
boys but dear, sweet, amazing young boys that I love sooo much.
William, Mukenya, Nicholas, and a 4th boy we have yet to figure out
who he is, although we can be sure we know him (because it was dark
and very crazy when it happened). They were forcibly took from the
slums in the middle of the night, put into a car and drove away. Of
all the boys in our programs they took some of our youngest and
absolutely sweetest kids (kids that would not fight back).

Child sacrifice is a huge problem here (the cover on a newspaper today
was about people convicted of sacrificing children) as well as child
trafficking (Uganda is on the US's child trafficing watch list). They
had tried to grab another one of our boys, Sharrif but he ran away and
so he watched them carry out his sleeping friend instead. He was
acting soooo badly the next day and towards the evening he finally
told us. There is no good reason that anyone would go into one of the
most dangerous slums in the middle of the night and grab children that
did not want to come, no reason at all. THey took our sweet precious
kids and we have no idea what they are doing to them.

PLEASE please please pray that God will return our kids to us and
that they will not be harmed. PLease pray


Abby
