A profile of one of Palmer Robertson's 20 pioneer students in Uganda

Amos Osuna

Amos is one of 28 children from a polygamous home. His father absolutely rejected him when he became a Christian, threatening to cut off all relations with his own brother who had taken Amos in. After that Amos turned to a family friend for help and his father then threatened to call in the police if he helped his son in any way. Amos has managed to complete his secondary education by God's divine intervention and provision. He has no home and has often slept on church benches, or moved around living with siblings as they could manage to house him. He has a passionate desire to evangelize the lost, with a special calling to the poor.

This concludes our profiles of students from ABC Uganda where Palmer Robertson is ministering. Perhaps in our 2006 budget we will be able to consider supporting one of the students at this new school.
