TO OUR DEAR FRIENDS OF MCM ~
Greetings to you all as we enter the season of becoming increasingly aware of the birth of Jesus and His call to worldwide Peace and Love…Merry Christmas! May you also enjoy a very Happy New Year 2026!
MCM completed it’s 12th year this December and what a year it was! God allowed us to experience many challenges. We believe as God is pruning us, He further commands us to,
“Count it all joy…when you meet trials of many kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And let perseverance have it’s full effect, that you maybe perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” (James 1:2)
God doesn’t ask us to be happy with the trials but to be grateful for the outcome! MCM’s Ugandan and American teams are extremely thankful to God for who we are today, for His Presence and His carrying us through 2025, ensuring our growth.
Because God is shaping us, we are able to view these challenges as opportunities, specifically, the large group of smiling students above. They are the single largest class MCM has ever had or will have in the foreseeable future. There are 25 Senior Three students moving into their Candidate year of Senior Four in February 2026. Next November they will all take their National Exams and based on their scores, move forward to either Vocational school or A-level University prep school then University. This class is three times the size of our average classes. That will require three times the tuition fees, exam fees and then higher education fees as we stand beside them into the future.
As I have been in African ministry for over 22 years now, I can say with utmost confidence, God will show up! These 25 students will persevere and all of us who have had a front seat to the “trial” will count it as Joy to have witnessed God’s faithfulness. We trust there will be many of you who want to walk beside us and help. Your generosity has been unparalleled in the past. You have persevered beside us, watched us grow and we are completely overwhelmed with gratitude!
God bless you all!
With Love ~
