About Us

Larry and Pat Graham co-founded Broken Clay Ministries (BCM) in 2013. BCM is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, recognized by the Internal Revenue Service and duly incorporated with a Certificate of Formation issued by the Texas Secretary of State.

​

From its inception, BCM launched its missionary outreach in Africa, beginning with leadership conferences and ministry to disadvantaged widows in Kenya. The ministry’s work expanded through ongoing collaboration with Bishop Peter Onguko, serving communities across Kenya.

​

In 2015, through a divine connection, Pastor David Turyatemba invited Broken Clay Ministries to lead a leadership conference and crusade in the slums of Kampala, Uganda. This marked the beginning of a meaningful and lasting partnership. During a visit to the Namuwongo Slum en route to the crusade site, Larry and Pat were deeply moved by the severe poverty affecting the area’s children. This experience inspired the launch of BCM’s Feed A Child program, a ministry dedicated to providing nourishment and hope to vulnerable children living in extreme hardship.

​

In 2016, BCM’s Overflow Outreach, supported by faithful donors, launched the Feed A Child program. This initiative specifically targets primary-age children attending New Planet Primary School, founded by Pastor David and Petronilla Turyatemba in Kampala’s slums. By God’s grace, the program has grown significantly and now provides over 5,000 nutritious meals each six-day school week.

​

In 2022, BCM expanded its Overflow Outreach with the opening of the Born To Win Skilling Center, offering vocational training to disadvantaged individuals. This center equips people with practical skills to achieve sustainable livelihoods and support their families.

​

Additionally, the Broken Clay Church Makinde Saving and Credit Cooperative (SACCO) was established to empower the economically vulnerable by providing access to microfinance loans. This cooperative fosters entrepreneurship, enabling members to start and grow small businesses while maintaining their dignity and promoting self-reliance.

​

Through Overflow Outreach and the generosity of its donors, BCM continues to address poverty with practical solutions—offering a hand-up and the gift of hope to children, families, and entire communities.
