Quarterly Report for April-June 2017

Greetings once again to all our members, supporters and board members of MMOCI. Here are the activities, challenges, and way forward for the 3 months of April, May and June of 2017.

ACTIVITIES


EVANGELISM:
 In the month of April we were given an opportunity to minister during Easter to the congregation of Kitodha Pentecostal church in Bugiri, Uganda.

In the same period of time we also ministered to orphans in Jinja, Uganda. They were happy to receive the message of God. Laundry soap was donated to the women caring for orphans at their community home.


Bridge of Hope Child Care Ministries Jinja, Uganda


A bit later we also ministered in Mityana Pentecostal Church. The message was well-received by the members in attendance.

In the month of May 2107, we were able to distribute some gospel tracts to students at Future Day and Boarding School in Bulenga, Uganda.  They were excited to read the message. We prayed and shared the Word of God with them at their school.

 EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE:

Through our supporters from the UK and US we have been able to continue paying fees for the children both in Mityana and Soroti District respectively.

POULTRY PROJECT:

Through our continued support from Mick in the UK, we have managed to plaster a storage room and one large room of the poultry house. We hope to begin this long awaited project in the month of October2017 with as many chickens as we can and have saved for this far.  We are excited to be close to starting and would like to thank Mick Tulk for his continued prayers and support over these past years.

AGRICULTURE:

We were informed by many poultry farmers that buying chicken feed was one of the major challenges in successfully managing a chicken project.  In response to this information we decided to commission families within Asuret Sub-county Soroti to grow maize for the project.

VOLUNTEERS:

We have continued receiving gifts for kids from our UK volunteer Jill. Three children received scholastic materials and other gifts in the last quarter.

 CHALLENGES

Lack of enough funds
In that quarter there was drought affecting agriculture in the areas where maize was planted for the project. 

WAY FORWARD

Continue reaching out to more children
Keep networking
Continue fund-raising for the poultry project
Keep praying for each other

CONCLUSION

We thank everyone who continues to support our ministry. May the Almighty God bless you!

As of now we are are targeting buying chicks by the end of September or early October. We have about $500 saved and need about that much and more to be sure we can pay workers and feed the chicken until they are grown in December. Two rooms have been plastered; the store room and the largest room. If we could finish the other two rooms we could plan to save for another 200-300 chicks to be raised in them. We still need solar as there is no power in the village. This project has been 4 long years in the making and we are ready to get going and get to the business of helping so many impoverished Ugandans! Please help us to help others! In Jesus Name. For His Glory!
