My Name is Elliott Jayve, I'm a Born Again Christian, born and raised in Kabale district, Uganda, East Africa. I was born in nyaruhanga Village, Nyakagyera parish, Kyanamira Subcounty, Ndorwa East Constituency, Kabale district. I grew up from Kansinga Village in burambira while living with my grandmother.
Growing Up as a child, I faced alot of challenges and difficulties. I grew while having a lot of questions to God , and I would ask him , why me? , why I'm I facing all these challenges? You know what it means to be Born from a Violent family, where Domestic Violence is always ever an everyday portion . It is always emotional for me while sharing my story to everyone 😭😭 I faced rejection and abuses from my community and family members while growing up as a child. My own father rejected me and said I'm not his child and he cannot live with me in the house. He went ahead and called the community leaders including our Lc Chairman to Chase me way from our home. On this day, I felt like I was shutterd, I was torned apart, I felt like I don't belong anywhere in the world 😭💔. And I continued to ask my self and God why me?.
On this same day , on my way while leaving home and not even knowing where I was going, My older brother hidden him self and tried to Kill me because I don't belong to their family 😭💔. He tried to chop my left part of my body with a panga and I saved my self, He again tried to chop my neck and he said " today you will die" and then I saved my self. He had a big stick and used it to beat me on my forehead , I felt dizzy and fell in the bunch, down on the road side , Alot of people were there but they couldn't help me instead they said that he was supposed to Kill me because I don't belong to their family and that my mother gave birth to me from another man whom I don't know upto now 😭💔😭. ( This is when I felt rejection from my community and family😭) . I always tell my self that it is always okay for me to always break down in tears and cry while sharing my story. I cried A lot, fought emotional and spiritual struggles, Shed tears, and asked my self alot of questions. I faced all these difficulties, and couldn't be able to get where I could find Love, peace , Joy and shelter!
HOW I FOUND HEALING!!!
After crying alot with so much pain in my heart, I went to a Pastor to look for more wisdom and Grace Of God to be upon my life , and I explained everything to her that happened in my life and what was exactly happening at that moment . I needed to seek God and live with him all my life. Then , my pastor saw alot of anger that I had for my father and family and the community and she said to me , Forgive them And The Lord with send his heaven to come down for your sake . I started to pray and to seek God more that ever before. One day , The Lord spoke to me and said Elliott , Crying will not help You. He again Spoke to me so well and said that there are so many children in the world who are facing the same problems and difficulties just like you and all they need is acceptance, please gather them and talk to them and tell them that it's going to be alright! And this is how my healing journey Started, Finding healing, joy , Love , Comfort and Peace in Serving the work of God and humanity in the Lord Jesus. I read in the book of (Psalms chapter 27 verse 10 ) " Though my father and mother forsake me , The Lord will receive me". I read this verse and it continued to Give me so much joy and healing and I continued to experience Life, full of tears, difficulties and Life full of the grace of God and this is how ACCASO started through hearing from God telling me to gather the children and speak to them and tell them that it's going to be alright!!
