Tim Challies linked to this story of a brave little girl in Uganda, raped repeatedly by a family member. It breaks my heart because I can see my children in her.
The author writes, "Little Miss Red Shoes goes to school with her friends. She's in second
grade. She lives with her mother and an aunt. Her father left the
family years ago, though she thinks she saw him sometime in the last
year. Her mom is HIV positive on treatment, sells little bits of beans
and corn for a living, and often turns to the local church for
assistance. Little Miss Red Shoes lives about a kilometer from me, in a
community full of hospital workers and dedicated Christians. But that
did not protect her, or at least five friends she could name including
one girl in nursery school, from being raped three times in the last
year by two teenage neighbor boys."
Read the rest here and pray for the deliverance of these innocent little ones.
