Journey of Hope   Marriage    Baptism    Confirmation

   
In the early part of 2007 Stonewall United Church was visited by Rev. Justin Laki who shared with the congregation his story about the deplorable conditions in his home country, Sudan. He also relayed the circumstance around and his brother and sister-in-law’s murder in Sudan leaving seven orphaned children. In 2005 Justin had gone back to Sudan and moved the children to Uganda where they were a bit safer. Justin filled out all the paper work and applied to adopt all the children including a baby, born to his 17 year old niece. Many people in the congregation were very moved by Justin’s story. Justin had no idea how he would find the money to get all the children here, but he knew somehow, with God’s help, he would. His faith would carry him through.
