One evening as Pastor Benjamin was walking home, he heard a shrill as he stepped on a piece of cardboard in his path. After lifting the cardboard to find out where this shrill was coming from, Benjamin discovered a small boy who was sleeping on the streets. He offered to have the young boy come home with him. Over the next few days the boy had notified his friends and soon an orphanage was started, The Jireh Children’s Center.

Recently Pastor Benjamin heard of a young boy and girl that had been mutilated, by having their privates cut off and then murdered and left by the side of the road, while on their way to school. This type of torture and action is due to the belief in witchcraft by many of the locals. Pastor Benjamin decided to bring a school to their village so the children would be safe. He now has 95 children at the village of Kyabaazaala.

Today, Jireh Ministries is taking care of a total of 345 children in two locations; the Jireh Children’s Center in Masaka and the village of Kyabazala. The majority are orphans with the remaining number attending the school and hoping to have a meal.

Help the Jireh Children's Center by making a donation today or by participating in a short term or long term mission trip.
