Called to Serve Ministries Barjere Branch has donated 3000 kilograms of maize flour worth nine million shillings to vulnerable communities in Kitgum and Lamwo districts.

The donation, made possible through missionary partners Rex and Malinda, saw selected beneficiaries from all their branches each receiving 10 kilograms of maize flour.

Speaking during the distribution, Pastor Ronald Okumu, the Director of Called to Serve Ministries – Barjere, said the donation comes at a time when many families are struggling with food shortages, especially in July before harvest.

He noted that despite limited resources, the ministry remains committed to supporting social, spiritual, economic, and environmental well-being in their areas of operation. Pastor Okumu urged the beneficiaries to use the maize flour wisely as they wait for harvest.

One of the recipients, Jacky Anena, a mother of four, expressed gratitude to the ministry for remembering them during difficult times. She pledged to use the maize flour responsibly and save money for her children’s school fees while awaiting harvest.

Another beneficiary, Okello Patrick, described the donation as a sign of love and unity built by the church among Christians. He called upon all believers and non-believers to unite and pray for peace and spiritual growth in their communities.
