Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes
and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in
peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical
harvest needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not
accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:15-17 NIV
For many displaced people, hunger is a constant companion; they
don’t always know when they’ll eat again. This is life for more than a
million refugees living in Uganda, who fled the unrest and violence in
South Sudan. The UN and other relief agencies don’t have the funds
to provide enough food. So in 2016, Cal Bombay Ministries (CBM)
began a project called Gardens of Hope, to equip
the refugees to grow vegetables. After attending a
training session, each participant goes home with
a large bag, soil to fill it, a hoe, a watering can,
and seeds to start their garden. They receive a
visit from the trainers to make sure the garden is
growing well.
We at Galcom want to partner
with Cal Bombay Ministries to
continue our ministry to the
South Sudanese refugees. For
every Garden of Hope that is
donated through CBM, Galcom
will send an ImpaX player;
for every ImpaX player
given, CBM will match
it with a Garden of Hope.
We’re doubling our
impact by feeding
bodies as well as
souls!
