MMOCI Quarterly report for April-July2015

MANY MANSIONS OF CHRIST INTERNATIONAL
P.O BOX 294 MITYANA UGANDA
TELEPHONE: +256776551180


Greetings to all the members, supporters and board members,

This is MMOCI report for the second quarter of the year 2015. In this report we have noted the activities of the organization done within the period, the challenges and the way forward.

What is new in this quarter?

We were able to apply for the renewal of the NGO permit and the certificate was granted for us for the next 36 months.

Our friend Mick continued to invest in his money into the poultry house building.

We also received a donation of $100 from Brian Derby Painting in New York for the poultry house.

Our new friend Charlene also started contributing $25 every month towards the poultry house.

Another new friend called Jill and her team started mobilizing support for the children in Uganda by donating mainly clothing to them but also some food and other items.

ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT WITHIN THE QUARTER:

Evangelizing children

MMOCI members have continued evangelizing the children.  Those within Mityana town now come to the MMOCI office on the first Saturday of every month. These children participate in reading the Bible, praising and dancing for the Lord and fun fellowship. MMOCI in the month of May also reached to the nearby school to distribute Gospel Tracts and shared with them the word of God.



  

Educational assistance

In partnership with Brother in Christ ministry, we have continued to support the needy children with school fees, food, uniforms and scholastic materials. MMOCI itself supports a few children from Mityana and Soroti Districts with school fees and scholastic materials also. (Top- David, Middle-Chrispus, Below-Paul-given fees, materials, uniforms and food.)





                                     

                                   



Youth assistance

In this quarter, MMOCI, through our partner Mick, supported a youth in Mityana with some funds to invest in his music studio. Maxwell Kiggundu received close to $200 from Mick for the support and promotion of his music studio. He was so excited to receive such support and we thank Mick for having such a heart for the youth!




 

Poultry project

MMOCI has continued with building the poultry house, Mick donated around 491 pounds for the poultry building in the last quarter and we thank him for such a heart in making sure that the house comes to completion. We also received $100 from Brian Derby Painting for the building project. Charlene from the U.S. also offered to be donating at least $25 every month towards the building efforts. MMOCI board members in Uganda also donated $80 towards the building project. We do still need around $1700 to roof the house, work on the floor, purchase materials like doors and windows, and transportation of the items to the site far in the village.

We do thank all those who contributed, continue praying for us and mobilizing support for the completion. The wall of the building is at the peak now and in waiting for the Ring Beam to be laid before roofing starts. We are still waiting for the latest photo from the village and it will be posted soon. Progress has been good!






We travelled to Soroti in May 2015 to supervise the building of the house. The building was broken and then expanded so as to accommodate the potential needed number of chickens. We are hoping to travel again in September to supervise the building of the Ring Beam if funds are mobilized.

Outreaches

We visited a school in April and carried out evangelism and at the same time distributed Gospel Tracts.

We also paid visits to some of the families that we provide support for; ones in Mityana and in Soroti. Food and clothes were distributed.





 

 



 Volunteers

In the month of June, we recruited new volunteers from the U.K. into our organization. Jill is the new volunteer and will be fundraising from her friends for scholastic materials, gifts, fees and clothing for the children. Charlene is also a new member from the U.S. and she, her husband and their friend Judy will be contributing $25 monthly towards the poultry project.

(Gifts sent to kids from Jill in the U.K.!)






(Packages of food and clothing received for children from U.K and a very happy recipient family!)

 

THE FOLLOWING REMAIN THE CHALLENGES

Lack of enough funds to run the organization

Limited space for MMOCI activities. The house we rented is still small especially when we receive children for Bible studies every first Saturday of the month.
Lack of transport

Expensive rental cost

Lack of sponsorship for the children

WAY FORWARD

Mobilize more funds for the poultry building

Keep networking

Enroll more volunteers

Special thanks go to www.brotherinchrist.com , Mick, Brian Derby Painting, Charlene, Jill and all the members for their tireless support in moving the organization and its objectives forward. May the almighty God reward you abundantly!

N.B. attached is the three month financial report

God bless!
