Richard returned home after having to flee his home when it was attacked by Ugandan rebels in 2003. after losing almost everything he had,Richard was in despair and had turned to drink.

But everything changed when he heard a church message describing Jesus as the cornerstone. what he heard spoke directly to his heart, and he was compelled as he says “to make my life straight”

When Richard gave his life To Jesus Christ his life totally changed. the way he spoke & behaved especiallly toward his wife.
