“For I was hungry, and you gave food:
I was thirsty, and you gave drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:
Naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in Prison,
and you came unto me” Matthew 25; 35-36 KJ2000
We
had a concert, which served as a launch of the freedom homes project,
2006 Action plan and fundraising for our outreaches. We dubbed it FAYE

Main Auditorium. Thi was in the afternoon hours from 3: 00pm to 6.00pm.Full

not have Judith Babirye ,Betty Namaganda Senyonga ,and Hahaha
the Christian Comedy group who had ealrlier indicated that they would

Bugembe
Wilson, commonly
known for his famous song, Wandibadde Muffu, sinza katonda (it’s
a luganda phrase meaning, you could be dead, simply praise the Lord God)
He is a former street boy, the Lord saved him, after languishing on the
street of Kampala, Uganda, and he used feed in dustbins and sleep under
trees. He sings so much about this in his song yellow, derived from the
nickname he had when he was still on the street. Because he used to wear
a yellow T-Shirt he used to put on .He has recently launched another Album,
called Samson, God has lifted him up, and now he is a pastor of Light
The world Church and he also heads an orphanage called God ‘s Generals
in Nansana, one of Kampala city suburbs.
We believe he is going to be a great blessing during the concert
Grace
Morgan, is one of the gifted
youth, Uganda has. He is endowed with a deep voice, which he really manipulates
to produce, beautiful melodies. He says that, Singing has been his thing
since he was young; no one really inspired him to sing. He has a place
in Uganda’s Gospel Music circles, having released two albums so
far, the first was Mulemeleko, in Luganda, local dialect, it means Stick
on Jesus, do not give up, that is what he inspires his fellow brethren
to do and the second one is Akuwembejja,(in Luganda, a local dialect,it
means He Cares for you)He prays with Glory of Christ Church in Kasubi,
a suburb of Kampala City-Uganda. You find his CDs and tapes at X-Zone
international
Brain, an
ex-prisoner gave us a testimony-He told us his experience in prison and
in the ministry. It was an opportunity for us to know how he met Jesus
Christ having been in jail and the bush for ten years. He Testimony was
so touching , and it left many people asking a lot of questions,it was
inspiring..
It
is a privilege and a divine blessing to having hosted, the Minister of
Ethics and integrity,Hon. Tim Lwanga ,as the guest of honor on this maiden
prestigious occasion, FAYE 2005.
Hon Tim is also the Honourable member of parliament for Kyamuswa County,Kalangala
District, Located on Ssese Island, lake Victoria, the world second largest
water body.
He commended the efforts of wells of Hope
and he launched the ministry officially
You may wonder why we dubbed this concert
FAYE 2005; there is a story to it, if you can take some time to read. On February
3rd of 1998, the State of Texas executed Karla Faye Tucker Brown for her
part in 2 extremely brutal murders committed in June 1983. A few facts
about Faye are;
· Faye was a woman.
· Faye was the first woman executed by Texas since the 1860's
· Faye was a born-again Christian
She worked with in-mates and preached love and forgiveness. She had a
very big influence on the in-mates. Many of whom turned their lives around.
A full story about her can be found on our websites under inspirations.
Faye is in no way part of this event but we have dubbed the concert FAYE
2006 from her name just for the inspiration she is, especially in the
ministry to people in prison among others.
