25 May Meet Bill Tadevich
I have been involved with youth ministry for about 20 years, and had always felt a pull to missions work. As a career businessman, I try to leverage the skills gained in the workforce to make a meaningful impact on the children and community in Uganda. A partner and I launched a vocational school in Uganda in 2008 to train students in metal fabrication and improve their prospects for meaningful employment. While on a trip to Uganda, my friend Denis Ndyabawe brought me to meet Pastor Lazarus and the children of His Grace Community (HisCom). The needs of this community and the heart Pastor Lazarus had for the children under his care immediately drew me into this ministry.
