About Maria Prean-the proprietor

.I was born in Innsbruck. Even as a child the question “Why am I here?” was important to me. Since having a deep experience of Jesus Christ at the age of seven, I know that HE loves me and that my life belongs to HIM. Since that time I have sensed God’s guidance in my life. Even though I didn’t always understand some ways at first, when I look back I can see that God makes no mistakes. Today I am able to bring hope and joy to many people and lead them into a personal love relationship with Jesus Christ. When I visited Uganda for the first time in 1996, I had no idea of what the Lord had prepared for this country! In the meantime I have many times been able to experience God working in Uganda in an increasingly greater way; and during every visit I am set alight anew by the fire burning in the hearts of the people here. I must confess that I feel very, very much at home on this continent. In January 2001 I flew to Uganda again, this time to spend three weeks preaching the gospel in various places to the African people, and to minister at the AfriCamp in Kampala. I received so much myself whilst doing this. I was very excited and full of expectation as I commenced on this ministry - because of prophetic words which I had received earlier about a new ministry that God was preparing me for. During a conference in Southern Uganda, two African women came up to me with prophetic impressions. The first one saw me in front of a huge, black gate which opened slowly, and behind the gate was a lot of gold and light. The second woman saw a huge funnel above my head, and much blessing was flowing into this, and then like channels through me and out into the right places. Two days later the LORD spoke clearly to me that I should trust him to care for thousands of needy children in Uganda, so that they would grow spiritually, emotionally and vocationally into their calling and destiny.

God does not play a role in my life - he is the director I met Maria in a Church in the suburb of the city of Kampala nearly three years ago. She was in the company of a team of people when she was introduced to me. Later I came to know some things about this wonderful lady. She loves people. As I read her book. I found this love for people flowing from the beginning of the book to the end. She attaches deep sense of value to relationship beginning from the family she grew up in and the people she has come across to influence. In her eyes is a burning passion which flows from the fire she has in her heart for all conditions of humanity. She never fears touching people regardless of their condition. Secondly, I have experienced some of her compassion when I noticed how she has taken many young people under her care. Many orphans have found hope and a future with Maria's ministry. Reading her book one sees the heart that has been touched through trials spending itself in service to others. In one of her desires to see children grow into God-fearing adults, she has established educational institutions. She has also touched many inmates in Luzira Prisons, one of the biggest in Uganda. Thirdly, reading Maria you will sec a determination that is rare. She has a drive that few people possess. When she sees an opportunity Maria will not let it pass by. When she knows that it will honour God whom she has come to believe in, she will give up everything to achieve it. I do commend her passionate love for people, her compassion and her energy in the service of the people that she has come across. May you read this book and learn something about the woman God has raised and has continued to use in the middle of Africa and other parts of the world with great results. The Most Rev. Henry Luke Orombi ARCHBISHOP OF CHURCH OF UGANDA This book is also available in german language!
