uganda corn mill project: feeding generations
impacting lives today, saving generations of tomorrow
the uganda projects
Bishop Silas of Eternal Church of God oversees more than 370 churches, 6 schools and 2 children's homes. One home is just for children with HIV and about 200 are housed there. Bishop Silas and his wife, Betty, have a great team that works diligently each day to serve and feed over 1,000 people 3 meals a day!
Our first major project for Uganda was the construction and purchase of a corn mill. The cost for the mill, delivery, set up, and a building to facilitate the production was roughly $60,000 USD. Praise God, the funds were raised in March and April 2024, and in July 2024, the mill was complete with a grand celebration with a parade, singing, dancing, and an abundance of joy!
Our second project was to purchase a new vehicle for Bishop Silas. His previous vehicle was purchased in 2006 and, as of 2024, had over 300,000 miles. It broke down daily, was unsafe to drive, and many areas he traveled to were dangerous. So, having a reliable vehicle was our next priority. Last summer funds were donated for Bishop Silas to purchase a new vehicle to commute back and forth to the children's homes. See the picture below!
The third project for Uganda was new bathrooms for one of the orphanages. The full construction cost was $6,500, and this need has been met—the project is complete!
Project 4 started in February 2025. We have miraculously raised $25,000 to complete the second level of a school that will be dorms for the attending girls. This will also fix a leaky roof during the rainy season, and water will no longer run into the classrooms.
Project 5 is fundraising for 8 acres of land adjacent to the current corn mill property and a tractor. The acreage will be purchased first to expand their farmland, followed by the tractor purchase to expedite their farming initiatives, feed even more people, and produce additional revenue to support the orphans. The property cost is $20,000.
In addition to the large projects, we send a monthly shipment of Bibles to Uganda to support the pastors and their congregations. As of March 2025, we have sent over 500 Bibles.
