MMOCI FINAL QUARTERLY REPORT-OCTOBER TO DECEMBER 2015
Greetings to all members, volunteers and all the board
members. This is the last quarter in the year 2015. This report talks much
about the activities carried out within the quarter, challenges and the way
forward for 2016
Any surprises in this quarter?
The children in Mityana and Soroti started receiving their
Christmas gifts promised from abroad
Gables were finally put on the poultry house and it’s now ready
for roofing
We were able to register with Asuret Subcounty in Soroti as
a community-based organization (CBO)
Many of UK friends and volunteers chose children to send
shoe boxes to in the list provided on our face book page.
ACTIVITIES
EVANGELISM
Our organization continued to evangelize children especially
in Mityana. The volunteers in Mityana and Soroti have reached out to the children
with the word of God. In Mityana, children also attend bible studies every
first Saturday of every month. The team has also reached to the primary schools
and to the hospitals. MMOCI was also given a Sunday at Mityana Pentecostal Church
again. Children and volunteers performed and ministered in the church on the 6th
December 2015.

children sponsored are from Soroti District in Eastern Uganda and 5 of the
children are from Mityana in Central Uganda

POULTRY PROJECT
Mick from U.K. supported us in November with 100 Pounds and
it was put towards the poultry house. It helped raise the house to level of the
gables and we are currently left with roofing which may cost around $1100 or
770 pounds. We really pray and hope we
can roof it before May 2016. Please keep us in your prayers and with any
contribution that comes in we will save it towards the roofing. It’s still a long way to go even after
roofing. We will need to purchase wire, doors, chicks and supplies and to train
the staff to get ready for the

CHRISTMAS PARTY
MMOCI, in partnership with God Cares for Kids Ministry and
Brother in Christ Ministry, held its annual Kid’s Christmas Party. Children and their families enjoyed a meal,
soda, sweets, dancing and games with prizes. Many of who would not otherwise
have had a good Christmas.

VOLUNTEERS
Many of our volunteers in Mityana, Soroti, U.K. and U.S.
really helped us a lot in making things happen. U.K. volunteers helped with
purchasing gifts for children and mailing them. It was a blessing to all the
children we serve in Uganda. Volunteers in Mityana and Soroti helped in
delivering the shoe box gifts to the children and taking their photos. Also
volunteers helped a lot in contributing their efforts in serving the children
during the kid’s Christmas party in Mityana.

CHALLENGES
Lack of funds for the quick completion of the poultry house.
We still need lots of prayers
The Mityana operaton permit renewal delayed and we are still waiting
for the district to issue us with the renewed certificate
Many children are also still waiting for their shoe box
gifts. Many have delayed due to the slow transportation problem through the postal service
WAY FORWARD FOR 2016
Continue mobilizing funds for the completion of the poultry
house
Receive operation permit from the Mityana District
authorities
Network and enroll more volunteers to help boost the
organization and attract more partners in to support the vulnerable children
Keep evangelizing the children so as to produce children who
are Godly in our society
Our appreciation goes to Brother in Christ Ministry, Jill,
Mel , Brian in the U.S. and many others who decided to put a smile on the faces
of our children, especially with Christmas shoe boxes and many others. Our
appreciation also goes to Mick for standing with us all this time in bring up
the poultry building to almost the final stage. May God open for you doors as
you start the new year 2016.
Yours Sincerely,
Okumu Stephen
