Meet Ashraf
Raised in a Muslim family, Ashraf is one of seven children by the same mother but different fathers. His family lacked the resources needed to send Ashraf to school to fulfill his dream of going to college. It was through attending weekly youth fellowship meetings at church that Ashraf heard about and applied to Ravens.
As he waited for acceptance into the program, he attended weekly Bible studies and was amazed as his heart opened and he became a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. He began demonstrating a gift for leadership which was further developed through Ravens.
Ashraf is an exceptional soccer player and currently leads soccer outreach matches drawing more than 30 youth in the community. He mobilizes a team and delegates responsibilities to them for these events focused on providing an outlet for youth to talk about their lives and share the love of Christ.
As generous donors contributed to Ravens Uganda, Ashraf was enrolled in Ravens after three years of waiting.
Ravens Uganda exists to see Christ-centered transformation happen as needs are met, and leaders are developed. Ashraf is an example of God at work in this powerful way.
