Imagine men with guns overrunning your land. You gather your family and flee. But the camp you’re forced to live in is crowded, dirty and nothing like home. At least you’re alive.

When the nightmare of violence recedes, you return to your land with hope of a better future, growing fruit and vegetables.

But you find all you owned has been stolen. You have no land. You have no money. You cannot feed your children. The nightmare continues.

Then, somebody comes along offering help. They help your family legally acquire the land. They teach you a way of farming that pleases God and before long you’re growing more crops than you ever did before. You have a home, you have enough to eat, and by selling your crops you can send your children to school. God has been faithful. This is the story of Hungry.

At FBC each year at Harvest, we focus on the work of BMS. This year we will be discovering the difference that projects like Hungry can make in Uganda, focusing on how hunger is being fought on many levels.

As usual, there will be an opportunity to make a special offering to the project in our service on Sunday 6 October. We can help BMS save lives in Uganda and in similar situations around the world. It’s a simple choice to make.
