Yesterday evening, I received a phone call confirming how a door had broken down from the overnight rainstorm that ravaged Wampa village.
The rainstorm started around 5 am on Saturday and lasted for two good hours. The mum, who was in a deep sleep, heard a scary sound to find out the door had broken into two pieces. The good news is that no one was injured among the family members sleeping inside the humble home. However, it’s obvious we are in the rainy season in Uganda, and it comes down daily, damaging some properties.
After hearing such news, JFM decided it was more important to fix this lady’s door rather than provide food for this day. It was worth the time and money.

Bill’s heart for the poor flows from the words of JESUS in Matthew 25:35: “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.” He often says that every bag of rice delivered, every child clothed, and every prayer offered is a reminder that GOD’s love is real and practical.
None of this would be possible without faithful donors who give generously. Bill sees himself not just as a director, but as a steward—ensuring that every dollar makes a difference in feeding the hungry and leading souls to CHRIST. His vision is to see communities in Uganda transformed, both physically and spiritually, through the power of the gospel and the kindness of those who support the work.
This ministry is truly doing our LORD’s Word.
Thank you Todd, we are doing our best and to be sure people are being helped almost daily. There was a covid lockdown in Uganda for 45 days and it caused terrible hunger in many regions. We are reaching out to some of those hurt by these lockdowns. We can’t reach all but those that we do reach are overjoyed. Thank you so much for the kind words.
