Looking after 9 Kids in an Old Rusty Crib, JFM Helped Her With Food
The Covid 19 pandemic has affected many people’s lives. For the elderly like Angella, the effects have been very devastating. Alone, frightened, and destitute are words that can’t aptly describe Angella’s poor state. Angella’s house in Gola village, central Uganda, is not fit for occupation. It is an old mud and wattle house which has seen better days. ” Raising all the nine children is not easy, but with God’s grace, we are surviving. However, life is not good, for we sleep in the house with cracks and almost falling on us,” she added.
I asked the granny where the parents of these kids were, and she said they died, leaving her with grandchildren. She raises them single handily, but granny Angella is blessed with a golden heart. Despite her situation, she says, she adopted one boy by the name of Moses, he was dumped in a trash pit, so she took him in.
JFM rescued her with food to help her with her grandchildren. “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done” Proverbs 19:17

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.
