Ministry Update

November 2022

Broken Clay Ministries is a 501c3 non-profit, missionary-evangelism ministry, established in 2013. Together with its donors, BCM is providing practical ways to solve the problem of poverty by giving a hand-up and the gift of hope to children, families, and communities. We appreciate your consideration as you plan for end-of-the-year

tax-deductible donations.

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude to the Lord for sustaining BCM since our inception in 2013. We count it a joy to serve Him in Africa and wherever He may lead. Often we wish we could transport each of you to walk through the Namuwongo slum of Kampala with us to see raw humanity and the conditions thousands of precious people find themselves in. You'll find a short video clip of the slum on our website brokenclayministries.org

We'd like to take you with us to Kyangwali Refugee Settlement where you'd meet those displaced by war, famine, and hardships beyond their control. Pastor David of Set Free Ministries, our partner in Uganda, has established a church in the camp that is meeting the spiritual needs of many. This church is led by Pastor Joseph, a man dedicated to reaching those who desire to have a personal relationship with the Lord. It is there, in the midst of up-turned lives, that refugees are being renewed, transformed, saved, and

filled with the Holy Spirit.

We at Broken Clay Ministries are grateful to each of our faithful donors who have joined us in making a difference in the lives of those living in poverty-stricken Uganda. Through our humanitarian outreaches, we are having a great impact. Perhaps you've recently discovered BCM. We know that there are many opportunities to give and we appreciate your consideration of joining us to be part of a team that is truly making a difference. 

The Blessing of Running Water 

Here in the U.S. we don't give much thought to our need for water, just go to the sink and turn on the faucet or if you were like me as a child simply pick a perfectly ripe tomato from the garden, rinse it off with a water hose and you have an instant snack while playing outside. Simple. But not so for those living in poverty.

 Through donations BCM has received, we have been able to provide running water and flushing toilets for New Planet Primary School. This is the first time since the 2009 inception of the school that the tedious daily activity of providing water has ceased. This entailed many trips to purchase water from a tap and haul it to the school, most days requiring 16 trips. Now, all it takes is turning on the faucet! You cannot imagine the excitement of the children. In fact, most of them had to be taught how a flushing toilet works. Before the recent improvements, the school used a pit latrine to service 475 students plus teachers.

With this improvement, we have also provided a healthier more sanitary environment.

We are currently installing a water reserve tank to provide for any disruption in water delivery to accommodate the school's needs. In addition, we've contracted a painter who is repairing, plastering and painting the toilet rooms.  

Broken Clay Ministries expanded its humanitarian outreach in June 2022 by opening

the Born to Win Skilling Center and Broken Clay Church Saving and Credit Cooperative (SACCO). We believe that by giving a hand-up to those living in gross poverty we are providing hope and a future for children, families, and communities while ensuring the dignity of individuals who train to use their God-given talents to support themselves

and their families. Learn more about these new projects on our website brokenclayministries.org

Born to Win Skilling Center 

Students are learning marketable skills that will give them a hand-up in developing their God-given abilities to provide for themselves and their families. We are very proud of these initial students who have begun to master their areas of interest and for producing products to sell as they are in the learning process.

Our congratulations to Pastor David Turyatemba, who is the director of the skilling center, for creating an excellent curriculum.

Petronilla Turyatemba, SACCO Administrator, and members of the Savings and Credit Cooperative (SACCO) have been diligently promoting Broken Clay Church SACCO in the slums announcing the amazing opportunity that will provide business education, a year-long savings program and ultimately qualifying for a micro-finance loan.

On Sunday, October 16th BCM had the honor of sharing Broken Clay Ministries at Eastgate Church, in Dayton, TX.  Pastor Rick and Lisa Doran extended a warm welcome to Missionary Evangelists Larry & Pat Graham. Our heartfelt appreciation to the amazing people of Eastgate who wholeheartedly embraced the message of BCM and

generously gave.

We need your help! Please subscribe to Broken Clay Ministries' new YouTube channel. We have a goal of 200 subscriptions by the end of the year. There is no cost involved and we will be expanding our video collection to share with you the impact of

evangelism and missions.

In addition, please go to Broken Clay Ministries' FaceBook page and “like” our page. Through these media platforms, we are making BCM known and praying for God to touch hearts to help us reach lives for the Kingdom.

We give God the glory for all He has done.

Blessed and

Happy Thanksgiving! 

We remain His for the Harvest,
