Tumwine with the grand Mum |
Coming Out of a Trance when i Joined RASYN soccer Academy and by the grace
of God.
I was raised in village by my grand mum, in a secular,
lower-income class home. I went to church very few times during my adolescent
years. When I turned 16, I began to get involved with alcohol , drugs , dropped out of school and life turned
worse. Its by the grace of God that i joined RASYN soccer academy that life has changed. Before you qualify to be on the team, you have to change few social manners like Talking vulgar Language, fighting , taking drugs,alcohol etc. When i joined i found many people of my class being Counseled, i joined and my healing process started before i joined the soccer academy. with in one month march 2013 i had stopped taking alcohol, i stopped taking drugs and my social behaviors behaviors have changed because our coaches have been there to encourage us, talk to us and Guide us . I play soccer for life skills, professional skills and i see my self being
picked from the trance back on Road . Tumwine. Thank you God for RASYN.

MELVIN IN MIDDLE WITH FRIENDS CELEBRATING THE VICTORY OF RASYN |
The hand of God reached me when i joined RASYN .
Melvin Musinguzi 11 knew
violence from a young age. He was abused by his guardian since he lost his parents, he was beaten, denied food and always denied to use his Football skills. One day he met a friend
who introduced Him to RASYN, talked about God and Melvin decided to give
his heart to Jesus. RASYN talked to the guardian of Melvin who willing gave us the boy, RASYN provided shelter for him,he went back to school, joined soccer academy under 14."He used to be very bitter, i hated my self, i fought a lot with my friends, i was always planning to kill my self but thanks to RASYN that my life has changed and transformed permanently. I study, eat well, pay soccer, moved to different districts encouraging youth not to give up their good time is coming" Said Melvin.
Rejecting
God but i found peace when i joined RASYN.
I remember at one point telling my
father that there was no God because Life was so hard for us. Although he did not live what I would consider to
be a Christian life, he assured me with tears in his eyes that there was a God.
Once while at school with my friends , a young girl called Nellie from RASYN approached us and began to share the gospel.
I told her that she would be far better off if she was to forget this
Christian stuff. I know now she most
likely went off and prayed for us and finally i joined RASYN scripture union club and soccer academy, life became so sweet, i got the happiness i had never received since i was born, we competed with many soccer teams and won most games, with or with our food as a team we are always determined to win. Many EVIL morals have changed( stealing, bitterness, taking alcohol, being disobedient to elders and teachers, poor time management, laziness, abusive language ), i respect others, talk politely with others, i protect myself and communicate well to everyone in my community , my dad is proud of me now. Am happy to be part. Tumusime Patrick , 15 years
