Today we received heartbreaking news from our staff in Uganda. Precious baby Nakato Kisakye has gone home to be with the Lord.
Nakato was an 8-month-old twin who came into our care already suffering from severe malnutrition. As soon as we received the twins, we rushed them to the hospital for emergency treatment. Her twin sister, Babiriye, began to improve, but Nakato continued to decline despite every effort to help her.
Earlier today our staff sent this message:
“Baby Nakato Kisakye has gone to be with the Lord. Thank you all for your prayers and support. We take comfort in knowing she is free from pain and in a better place.”
While our hearts are deeply grieved, we also hold tightly to the hope we have in Christ. Nakato is no longer suffering. She is now in the presence of Jesus, fully healed and at peace.
Please continue to pray for Nakato’s mother and family during this time of unimaginable loss. Pray that the Lord would surround them with His comfort, strength, and peace.
We also urgently ask for continued prayer for the other babies still in the hospital, including Nakato’s twin sister, Babiriye. They are still fighting for their lives and need God’s healing touch.
Moments like these remind us how desperate the need is in Uganda. Many of the children who arrive at our Feeding Center come severely malnourished and medically fragile. Your prayers and support help us respond immediately when emergencies arise and give these little ones a chance to live.
Thank you for standing with us, praying with us, and loving these precious children.
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 19:14 (NKJV)
