A Miserable Boy

Kenji Micitakasago, since he was 6 years old, his Japanese biological father had a cheat with another woman and went back to his country. It did not stop at that time, his mother then married to a man that had made him being suffered and getting cruel threats.

Kenji told,” He asked me what, sometimes I was not able to do it, and then he kicked me out and hit me hard. I was alike not a human, but like animal. The misery which eventually made me to decide living on street was when my father put my all clothes off on street and I was naked. Then, he tied me with a leash and he dripped candle from the top of my head to the edge of my feet, even to my vital organ.”

For his father bad threats, Kenji decided to get out of his home. Kenji eventually worked as a shoeshine on street. However, life on street was not easy, he had to associate with drugs dealers, prostitutes, pimps and many more.  

“I had ever been asked to sell drugs and do any prostitute, but I did not do it,” said Kenji.

At that time, Kenji as if did not see his future, moreover, many people underestimated on him as a street-child.

Until, one day, Kenji did not eat for 2 days as he did not get any customer yet. Then, he stood up in front of a restaurant and was looking at a harmonious family eating their meal altogether. Kenji felt a desire to have a family as what ha saw at that time. Kenji only got silent and was dreamy. After that family got out of the restaurant, Kenji came into the restaurant and took their bones of leftovers. When he took that leftover, he was kept up by the security.

“When I was kept up by the security, I was thinking that I might be caught and hit. I kept running and taking the chicken bones that I had gotten. When I was in a safe place, I ate those bones. There, I was really broken and wondering why this misery could not get away from my life. I was just confused and enjoyed eating those bones as what it should be,” said Kenji.

He was living on street for years. Until one day, he met a suspicious man. That time, when it was about at 3 o’clock in the morning at Mangga Besar, Kenji was brushing shoes.

“I was just silent, as I thought that every man was same, their heart was so evil and rotten. He kept watching over me for a week, followed me, and I eventually knew that man was Ko Aon.”

A man named Aon Santoso who was on his way to a ministry. He saw Kenji and wondered that Kenji might only be a naughty boy whom wanted to play on street until late and did not go home yet.

“After keeping an eye on him for a week,” he shared. “2 days, 1 night, a child who was 9 years old struggling on his desire eating for leftovers. As a man of God, I struggled and I eventually decided to take him home with me,” said Aon Santoso regarding his compassion to Kenji.

Finally, Kenji lived together with Aon’s family and he was guided to have a healing, either physically or spiritually.

“I saw from Ko Aon’s life, that he really loved me. So I decided to live with him. He taught me about the discipline, honesty, and responsibility. Since I lived with Ko Aon, I was asked to know about Lord Jesus, I was guided directly and I felt His love in my life. Since I knew Him, I got joy, peace and there was no one who tormented me as I have Jesus in my heart.”

Since Kenji knew and received Jesus as Lord and the Savior through Aon’s guidance, his life has changed for 100%, from a desperate man to a man who has strong hope.

“When I was on street, many people underestimated me. They never appreciated me. However, since I knew God, He gave me a talent to create a song. I never let Him go as Lord Jesus has held my future and guarantee my life indeed,” said Kenji ending his testimony.
