uganda corn mill project: feeding generations
impacting lives today, saving generations of tomorrow
the corn mill project
Bishop Silas of Eternal Church of God oversees more than 300 churches, 6 schools & 2 children's homes. One home is just for children with HIV and over 160 are housed there. Bishop Silas has a great team that works diligently each day to serve and feed over 1,000 people 3 meals a day! To make this possible he uses his own land for farming. Once the crops grow they send corn to the mill factory and sadly, not all of their supply is returned. The cost of this process plus the loss of supply has given them a vision for their own production plant. This will ensure they keep everything they grow and continue feeding over 3,000 meals per day. It will also become an income source so they may continue providing medical care & helping more children in need.
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 & April of 2024 and in July of 2024 the mill was complete with a grand celebration with a parade, singing, dancing and an abundance of joy! A local congresswoman was in attendance and the local news media to see all the Lord had done! Our first project is now complete!
​
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 and was not safe to drive and many areas he traveled to were dangerous. So having a reliable vehicle was our next priority. This 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! Second project complete!
The third project for Uganda is new bathrooms for on of the orphanages. The full construction cost is $6,500 and this need has been met! Project 3 underway!
