When We Cannot Go, We Can Still Give!
** Help Us Feed Hungry Families in Uganda
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
— Matthew 25:40
My heart is heavy for our brothers and sisters in Pallisa, Uganda.
Over the past two years, our Truth Ministry team has had the incredible privilege of traveling to Eastern Uganda with Partner 135. We have worshiped with these beautiful people, prayed with them, hugged them, laughed with them, and watched God move in mighty ways. We have witnessed salvations, healings, and lives forever changed by the power of Jesus Christ.
But today, these same families are hurting. And they need our help.
Pallisa is a farming community where families depend on the land to provide their daily food. Unfortunately, a devastating drought, failed crops, and rising food prices have left many families struggling just to survive. Reports indicate that 80.1% of households in the district are experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity.
Think about that for a moment. Mothers and fathers wondering how they will feed their children. Families who work hard every day but have little or nothing to harvest.
People who have welcomed us into their villages and churches with open arms are now facing hunger.
We had planned to return to Uganda this year, but because of the Ebola situation, we were unable to go.
BUT GOD…
I have learned something through all these years of ministry. Just because God closes one door doesn’t mean He has stopped working. Sometimes He simply opens another door and asks us to walk through it.
And I believe He has opened a door for us right now!
Through our wonderful partners at Partner 135 and the Pallisa Ministry team, who work alongside more than 100 churches throughout the area, we have an opportunity to put food directly into the hands of families who desperately need it.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 by November 30th to purchase and distribute food to these families.
I know that we cannot feed everyone. But we can feed someone. We may not be able to change the circumstances of an entire country, but together, we can make a difference in the lives of families who are hungry today.
And isn’t that what Jesus has called us to do?
To love our neighbors. To care for the hurting. To feed the hungry. To be His hands and feet in a world that desperately needs His love.
Would you prayerfully consider helping us?
Whether you can give $25, $50, $100, or more, every gift matters. Every dollar brings us closer to putting food on someone’s table. And every act of kindness is another opportunity to demonstrate the love of Jesus.
Most importantly, please pray for these precious families. Pray for rain, for their crops, for the pastors and ministry teams serving them, and for God to provide in ways that only He can.
I wish I could personally deliver every bag of food and hug every family. But until we can return, we have an opportunity to love them from right here at home.
We may not be able to GO right now, but we can still GIVE and PRAY!
Thank you for loving these people alongside us. Thank you for believing in the mission of Truth Evangelistic Ministry. And thank you for helping us continue to Make Heaven Crowded!
In His Service,
Pastor Cal
Truth Evangelistic Ministry
