Again, I'm Pastor Tendo Steven, founder and president of ELOI Ministries. My journey to the United States was driven by a desire for safety and freedom, but instead, I faced mistreatment and detention for over two years. Despite the denial of my asylum case, I remain committed to fighting for justice and advocating for the rights of marginalized groups and communities.
Through ELOI Ministries, I've dedicated myself to supporting vulnerable individuals and families, both in Uganda and here in the United States. Our Vermont chapter, established in 2021, is a testament to our unwavering commitment to serving and empowering new Americans and our local communities in general.
However, my ongoing legal battle and work require significant resources. That's where you come in. Your generous donation will help support:
Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to creating a more just and compassionate society. I invite you to stand with me in this fight. Please consider making a donation today.
Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support.
For over 15 years, I have stood on the frontlines of suffering—from facing persecution in Uganda to finding refuge in American shelters. With your help, I will continue to:
Rescue those in life threatening situations:Provide sponsorships, legal counseling among others.
Heal the Broken: Organize medical camps for mental health & trauma counseling for the youth on the recovery journey from substance abuse.
Advocate Fearlessly:Fight for asylum seekers and expose injustice, just as am called to do.

Last week, he sent me a note: ‘Pastor Steven, seeing how much support you have given fellow asylum seekers fleeing their country for safety touches my heart and many lives have been saved because of you—and us—is my greatest joy.’ Friends, YOU are my Mathews. Thank you.”
