BBT Kingdom Farms

April 2025 Update

In the past year Back to the Bible has purchased and additional 250 acres of land. This land has been cleared, prepared, and half of it has been planted into corn to support the Good Samaritan Centre. Pray for the crop to grow well and get the timely rains it needs.

The BBT has also embarked on a few cash crop initiatives to support their ministry activities. They have planted over 45,000 coffee seedlings on the other half of the newly acquired 250 acres. Coffee needs 3 years of growth before producing fruit. They have also planted Jackfuit trees at a different farm site and these trees are about 2 years away from productin. Both of these cash crops will be important for future growth of the ministry to support more and minister to more children.

A small team of 3 travelled to Uganda in early April to visit the farm sites, meet and strategize on future partnership and growth and assist in the diagnosis and repair of the important tractors. The team had some very productive meetings and was able to greatly encourage the ministry. Two days were spent with the BBT mechanics on working on one of the John Deere tractors that was desperately needed. After working on and praying for the tractor, a few hours prior to needing to leave for the airport, God answered our prayer and the tractor moved for the first time in well over a year! There was much relief, celebration and thank to God for this miracle. Pray that the 2nd tractor would be fixed shortly so they will once again be working with full equipment capacity.

Getting the tractor fixed. An answer to prayer!

Jan 2024 - Harvest Update

Good Samaritan Center

The Good Samaritan Centre is operating at full capacity, with over 2,600 children currently receiving free boarding and education. Located in a poor district of Kampala, Uganda, the center’s mission is to provide Christ-centered education to children from across the country.
The students come from diverse and challenging backgrounds, including those from areas without access to schooling, children without parents, and those from single-parent or financially strained families who cannot afford education. While basic schooling is offered by the government, public schools are often overcrowded, understaffed, and of low quality.
Tupendane and Southland Church contribute monthly funds to provide beans for the children's diet, which is supplemented with maize to make "posho," forming the base of their nutritional needs.
The students stay on-site for most of the year, with a 3-4 week break during the summer. If a child has no home to return to, provisions are made for them to stay at the school. Around 400-500 children remain at the center year-round.
