Under His Wings of Hope

Book excerpt: Under His Wings of Hope is an inspiring story, beginning with Annah Emuges childhood and the brutal reality of life in a war-torn village. The reigning terrorist regime of Uganda holds no regard for Annahs people. The villagers lives are expendable unless they join Idi Amin Dadas military and become Muslims. Annahs dream of exploring the world begins when she leaves Agu Village for boarding school. As Annah gets to know Jesus, she faces challenges and adventures, learns of Jesus plans for her life, and fights to avoid the life He has chosen for her. Annah gets to know Jesus on a personal level, and she learns about hope and faith, which leads her to bravely tell her Catholic family and village about Christianity. As Annah begins to see Jesus working in her life, she surrenders to His plan and becomes a young wife and mother. Annah and her family come to America, expecting great things, but she still ends up broken, somewhat alone, and deeply discouraged. As Annah faces many trials, her faith in Jesus is tested, and her hope begins to fade away. Annah works diligently to overcome lifes hardships, and finally, through much heartache, struggle, prayer, and increasing faith, she finds freedom in her ever-growing love for Jesus. Annah Emuge continues to work hard every day to serve her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through her ministry with the children of Atai Orphanage in Agu Village.
