Meet our Director, Opio Peter

Peter has worked at Doors Ministries for the past 5 years. He was brought on staff originally as an Uncle (house parent) in the Doors Boys’ Home. His faithful dedication to the children and incredible social work skills quickly earned him promotions in the ministry. He moved from Home Uncle to Doors Home Administrator to Ministry Social Worker, to finally now, Director (since March 2017).

He believes in the future of Doors because of a God-given dream he had even before this transition took place. He dreamt that the organization was facing a decision and closing; that finances became too strained to continue operating and the future of Doors in Uganda was in jeopardy. In his dream he remembers thinking, “This ministry is meant to support and help children in need. God I know you will make a way when there seems to be no way. I will stand.” In the dream, Peter saw the ministry grow into a very powerful and great organization that helped many neglected children on the streets and in impoverished communities.” Doors praises God that Peter has indeed stood with Doors Ministries. We believe this dream was God-given to prepare Peter for the role he now finds himself in through this transition.

According to Peter, he is dedicated to see “Doors transform the lives of vulnerable children and former street children into future leaders.” 

“Thank you for loving and supporting these neglected children and restoring hope for a better future with God.” -Peter, to all Doors supporters and partners
