Robert’s Encounter with Abba Father’s love!

I accepted Jesus to be my Lord and personal saviour in 1997 after my elder brother Richard together with his friend George preached to me the Good news of Jesus.

Through my journey of walking with Christ, I starting to experience and acknowledge the love of God in my life; over the years I came to know Jesus and the Holy Spirit but I was never sure about Father God! I found that, although I could worship and understand Him, I didn’t love Him as I felt the first commandment was telling me to do. In fact deep in my heart I felt He was far-away and that I would never make Him closer to me!

I found myself regularly descending into what I now realise was mild-depression; I would be relieved when I could pull myself together and feel that no-one had realised what was going on, the mask was firmly in place again and I could carry on.

In His mercy and completely unexpectedly, in 2008, God opened away for me to attend the International School of Ministry at the Wings of Eagles School of Ministry Lox lane Christian Centre Shaftesbury Dorset UK.

During in one of the soaking session we had; I clearly heard an inner voice saying to me, you don’t have to look for love any more! I knew that this was my Heavenly Father’s voice. Incredibly, His voice carried on. He said, in such loving and affirming tone, you are wonderful and precious to me my son’ I am very proud of you, you are lovely, this voice went on and on! Suddenly, I began to laugh, and then cry, for the first time, I knew I had heard my heavenly Daddy’s voice loving me, not doctrinally but experientially!

I received a lot of healing in my heart and forgiveness, I feel released from burdens and hurts and much free. I feel so good to share the Father's love. "I am very pleased to know and to feel in my heart the way how the Father God loves me. “God loves us the same way like Jesus” this is AWESOME!!

Since that time, Father God filled my heart over and over again with His love. I now love Him because He first loved me. I can now be the ‘real’ me instead of trying to be a ‘strong Christian’. With His help, I am growing to love Him with all my heart, with my entire mind, with all my soul and with all my strength and to pass His love on to others. Thank you, Father, I love you.

Many of us have had very complicated relationships with our earthly fathers as result were many have been very frightened about getting to know God the Father in a personal way. And sometimes even the word father makes one cringe! I had a very distant relationship with my own father and it took me longer than most people to get to know God as a personal and loving Daddy! It was a slow process, but what a wonderful gift! Whenever I go through trials now I can meet Him in that vulnerable, weak place knowing I am safe and His loving arms are always available to comfort me. Because I had practically no experience of a father holding me, it was very hard for me to ever place myself in this position of receiving from Him.

I found a greater level of intimacy with God that I believe has completely changed my understanding and experience of Him. Many of us have a good understanding of God as Father but that becoming an experience and a lifestyle is something completely different.

I am still encountering the Father's love in my life on a daily basis; I am experiencing a great passion to help many, to encounter this love. I am persuaded that everyone has a fundamental need of a heart revelation of the Father, instead of hoarding facts about God, everyone need an experimental encounter with the Fathers' love which can help one's relationship with the Father God.

My greatest passion is to see individuals, regardless of their religious affiliations encountering the love of God’s which will transforms their entire lives for ever, and helping many to experience healing from the past wounding circumstances of life so that they can minister or help from greater purity to others with the Fathers' love, and inspiring others to receive revelations of the Father and freely to be able taking His love to nations.

Abba Father Children Home (Uganda)

The vision of “Abba Father Children's Home” and sponsorship was born out of encountering the huge need of orphans, and vulnerable children in Uganda and in other developing nations where Abba Father Team so often ministers the gospel.

Throughout the scriptures Psalms 68:5; God reveals himself as a father to the fatherless and a defender of widows. The aim of Abba Father Ministries is to provide love, inspiration, faith and education that every child deserves.

To provide psychosocial-spiritual guidance and counseling, medical care, fellowship and hope to children who are troubled with life predicaments.

The opportunity to make a significant difference in the life of these children is very great and an investment in generations to come.

To create a community living a meaningful life with reduced vulnerability.

AFM is responsible for a number of children, especially young people, whom it provides school fees, accommodation, food and clothing them. Due to the overwhelming number of orphans and vulnerable children, out of the 85 children we have now, currently AFM sponsors a total number of 25 children; all of these children are entirely looked after by AFM.

Children at Abba Father Centre

The Abba Father Children's Home in Kasangati (Uganda) more children are adopted due to increasing number of children without care and love; on average over 15% homeless children are brought in for help.

AFM is working on expanding Children's Home/Centre, at the moment we’re renting the premises, a bungalow of six bedrooms which serves as a Home to our children who are under AFM care.

Robert believes that God has given him a big responsibility but is persuaded that if any one gets the glimpse of what I see, AFM could even do better things than what has been done. Owing to the deep conviction, that it is not by my strength but by God’s work within me, it gives me the strength to execute whatever God places on my heart.

I am pregnant with a Godly vision to parent children, especially vulnerable Children by meeting their spiritual, physical and financial needs.

We need adequate resources to provide for their needs for shelter, food, health care and their emotional, educational and practical needs so that even though they do not have natural parents or carers, they too can have decent lives and hope for a better future.

The Father’s love & the spirit of adoption are the most significant basics; we believe that if wounded children can understand and know how deeply they are loved by their Heavenly Daddy, their hearts will be healed. Then, they will be able to step into their identity, destiny, and inheritance as sons and daughters of God. Thus, the orphan spirit will be broken as they receive the spirit of son-ship receiving & knowing God as their father. God is crying out for His lost abandoned and forgotten children to come home and to be brought home. Please help us bring His lost children home!

Join us in spreading the love of God across the world by partnering with us today. Robert and his team, welcomes every invitation to reach-out to these children no matter how small or large, being delighted to serve, strengthen and equip the Body of Christ.

We cannot do this alone, only through the Heavenly Father, and with those partners who can catch up with our vision.

Abba Father Christian Chapel

The setting will provide an opportunity for individuals or couples to “get away” for a time period of a few hours or as long as a week to rest and receive intensive ministry. Abba Father Chapel is a place where different people from different denominations can come to have time to encounter the fathers’ love having special time in his presence as one get time off from his/her struggles of life etc.

Also being a training centre where many Christians can be trained, and place to bring many "home" to the Father's house and to the Father's heart! Abba Father Ministries Int. has seen how difficult it can be for individuals seeking help to effectively disengage from the stress and busyness surrounding them. I believe that there is great benefit in creating a healing environment with effective healing ministry.

The Genesis of the Abba Father Children's Home/Centre.

One night, I asked God to give me a dream; the dream I had was of a young orphan girl crying out desperately for her daddy, I held her and cried with her and felt that very familiar father wounds! My heart’s passion is to reach-out the Fathers’ love to many who have been heartbroken, hurt, depressed with disappointments, and mistreated through various circumstances of life, and cramped persons to come out of bondage into the realm of glorious light of the Father's LOVE! This is my own testimony and I believe the Father God can do it again for many through my life.

I am pregnant with a Godly vision to parent children, especially vulnerable Children by meeting their spiritual, physical and financial needs. We need adequate resources to provide for their needs for shelter, food, health care and their emotional, educational and practical needs so that even though they do not have natural parents or carers, they too can have decent lives and hope for a better future.

Robert's vision under AFM is to take care of about 2000 vulnerable children across Africa, and other parts of the world. In my own life I have seen God doing total miracles. He truly looks after His children. That is why I am so passionate about reaching-out to vulnerable individuals especially children. Note; you and I, we have the opportunity to practice God's real love to this hurting world and to be our brother's keeper. I encourage you to be a part of this incredible ministry.

God is more than able to use you & me; to help ease the pain of a child in desperate need; we are blessed to have supporters like you and we are honored that you have chosen this Ministry as a place to sow your seed by helping us to make difference in lives of many.

You may be the only Jesus that child may ever see!

Longing for Abba Father’s Love!

When I call God "Father" it is recognition that he created me and owns my life. His desires are perfect and imperative on me. I must humbly bow to him at all times and allowing him speak to me. He deserves my total respect and obedience even in matters I find unpleasant or do not understand. As Daddy, I can run to him at all time with my fears and worries. I can take his counsel with trust and I have nought to hide from him and he is a friend.

Jesus is trying to help you and me to know a Father who loves us and will not do us harm, a Father who will not slap us around, but will encircle us in his arms and let us feel his love, a Father who will not let you go. My dear friend, Jesus wants to reintroduce you to his Father, to your Father, so that you can be whole spiritually and emotionally. Reclaim your birthright to know and enjoy the love of Abba as Your Father.

Simply pray this prayer: Dear God, my Abba Father, what an extraordinary privilege it is to call you Father. How grateful I am that Jesus has invited me into his relationship with you. It is so wonderful that the Son enables me to be your child as well. Thank you, dear Father, for the relationship I have with you through Christ.

Help me, Lord, to grow in this relationship. May I run to you as a young child to his daddy, enjoying your security and embrace, and may I also live my life out of respect for you.

Thank you, dear Father, for the Spirit who helps me to know you as my Abba. What a gift you have given me in the Spirit! Amen.

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (Romans 8:14,15)."
