Food for the Hungry

J.B. just returned to Jinja from a trip to two of our northern churches, CC Ogongora and CC Olele.
The people in the area of these churches have been experiencing famine for the last several months. Crosspoint Community Church in Reno, Nevada, had given us a gift of $4,000 to use for some special ministry. This turned out to be the exact amount needed to give to each of the 150 households contained in those two churches a 50 kilo bag (110 lbs) of maize meal, the staple food for all of East Africa. Several people there are on the verge of starvation and a few have died already. This maize meal (posho) is enough to sustain life for each of these families for about a month. It has just started raining and so in about a month crops should be grown enough to eat. It's amazing to me how God can provide exactly what we need when we depend completely on Him. And truly, the money was the EXACT amount we needed. God is good and we are so grateful.
