STRONG ONE
Terrorist attacks exploded in the capital of Uganda last Sunday.
Suicide bombs tore through crowds that had gathered in celebration to watch the final match of the World Cup.
Tons of reports and news outlets have been telling the story, but the terrorists have not only killed 76 people, they’ve shaken an unstable nation and took the life of our own Nate Henn.
Nate “Oteka” Henn, was a volunteer with Invisible Children in San Diego for over a year and a half. He dedicated his life to following Jesus and was a man after God’s own heart.
He was a servant and a peacemaker who never wanted to be in the spot light.
His Ugandan Legacy Tour teammate, Innocent, gave him the name “Oteka”, which means “Strong One”. The two grew close on IC’s Legacy Tour in the US and Nate had recently traveled to Uganda to visit Innocent and experience “Africa” for the first time.
One of Nate’s dreams was to visit Uganda and travel to Gulu to see the programs he’d so selflessly supported through fundraising, awareness and advocacy.
We’re beyond thankful that Nate was with his friends Innocent, Tony and Lindsey when he moved on to be with his maker.
IC has put together a Memorial Fund for Nate Henn, www.natehenn.com, and an incredibly well made video to give you a glimpse of who Nate was and what he stood for.
