COMBINE PROJECT (2025/2026)
At the Good Samaritan Centre in Uganda, meals are more than nutrition, they are a daily reminder of Christ’s love and care.
For hundreds of children, food is grown right on the Centre’s farmland, harvested and prepared by hands committed to lifting them up and pointing them to Jesus.
​
For years, a single combine has worked tirelessly to bring in those harvests. It has fed children, strengthened their bodies, and given them hope. But after many seasons of faithful service, it is worn out. If it fails, crops could spoil in the fields — and full plates could become empty ones.
Replacing this combine isn’t just a mechanical need.
It’s a vital step in protecting food security and sustaining the ministry’s future.
BROCHURE
Why the Combine Matters​​
​
​A dependable combine is the difference between crops in storage and crops rotting in the field.
It keeps food on the table, helps the Centre remain self-sustaining, and offers a powerful, practical expression of Jesus’ love. And the children understand this.
When the harvest is good, they celebrate — because they know it means healthy meals, bigger portions, and a reminder that God is caring for them. Harvest time becomes hope.
A VISION FOR
SELF-SUSTAINABILITY
​
The combine is one essential part of a larger agricultural system. To grow food year after year, the Centre relies onmany pieces of equipment to allow crops to be planted, protected, and harvested — creating a sustainable future where the Centre can feed children without depending solely on outside aid.
This is what partnering to empower lives and inspire hope looks like: equipping ministries to stand strong, independent, and full of faith.
​
partnership in christ
​​​
This project highlights a beautiful partnership: BBT is leading the research, selection, and procurement. Tupendane is providing on-the-ground knowledge, relationships, advice, and partner funding. Together, we are building long-term sustainability — not just short-term charity. We are empowering lives, inspiring hope, and planting seeds for a brighter future in Jesus’ name.
COST & DETAILS
​​​
The new combine, equipped with both a corn header and straight header, will cost $70,000 CAD fully landed in Uganda.
It is being sourced from a trusted manufacturer in China.
A Tupendane board member has personally visited the factory, strengthening relationships and ensuring quality. Parts from China are faster and far more cost-effective to ship into East Africa than parts from most North American or European suppliers — making this a smart, sustainable investment.
