MMOCI-Uganda Jan.-Apr. 2014 Quarterly Report

TO THE DIRECTORS MANY MANSIONS OF CHRIST AND MEMBERS


This is a report from January 2014 to April 2014. It consists of the activities done within the period, challenges and the financial statement.

MMOCI in partnership with Brother in Christ ministry have continued their support to some vulnerable children, of which include Mutebi David in a primary school:
 
And Kasemengo Chrispus also in primary:
Their school needs have been fully met through Brother in Christ ministry.

Apart from the above MMOCI also met part of the tuition fees of Engur Isaac in February:
He is Busitema University in Eastern Uganda pursuing a degree course.
 
The organization also met part of the fees of Akullo Sarah who is an orphan and teenage mother in Soroti, Uganda. She is in a secondary school fighting to complete in ordinary level education:

Apart from the above, MMOCI also met part of the fees of Masaba Paul in a primary school in Mityana:
His mother pays for part of the fees. Masaba has health complications and need our prayers and further support.

MMOCI has also been conducting bible studies at MMOCI offices every Saturday. All the kids under MMOCI care have been attending the studies together with Brother in Christ ministry members. The children were able experience spiritual growth through learning to pray and worship together.

MMOCI also participated in outreach to bereaved families and to a widow, visiting the hospital and also participated in a youth conference organized in Mityana, Uganda on March 22 by pastor Debra Muntz from the United States.

Though MMOCI was able to achieve the above with a period of four months, the following remain setbacks and obstacles to the organization.

Many children still remain listed and hanging on the website without sponsors. We call upon good hearted people to at least pick a child and share love with him or her.

Bureaucracy in the government offices has led to the delay of our certificate of registration but God-willing we will be picking it up at the beginning of June.

Huge rental cost is still a problem. At the moment we use our residential place as an office and more so its expensive and with few rooms. We pray that God relieves us out of the situation soon.

We also still lack any means of transport and this therefore makes our outreach activities ineffective. Apart from that, our computer in the month of April also broke down and therefore hindering communication. We hope to repair or replace it soon.

We do therefore hope to initiate an income generating activity for the organization in the few months to come so as to reduce on the financial burden. We also may set up volunteer and well wishers form for those who are willing to mobilize resources for the organization in any part of the world.
