Thank you to  the MMI family for choosing to work in Mali! We have good news for those who have supported our ministry either by coming, sending, praying or giving toward the construction of the Dorcas Center.

Since MMI's first outreach in 2004, we have shared the Gospel with more than 5000 people. Before we began working with MMI, we had struggled to share the Gospel openly in a Muslim village named Moussala. The Muslim community in Moussala appreciated MMI's medical care, and to show their thanks they allowed us to present the Gospel publicly for the first time. Four years later, we now have a thriving church in this once Muslim-dominate community!

 

In 2005, MMI held an outreach in Senou. During the outreach the mayor gave us a hectar of land to help the destitute children in this town. We accepted this challenge from God! The Lord gave us favor with the government and in 2006 we started building the Dorcas Center that will accomodate 120 kids (Dorcas Center in Construction)

 

I want to thank the teams that have helped us, and report that the local community has embraced this building project and are working to make it a reality. As a united community, we are working together to drive this construction forward. We remain committed to building a place where children will hear the Word of God and be equipped for a brighter future.

Since that first outreach in 2004, we have hosted 8 MMI teams and are looking forward with excitement to the 5 outreaches scheduled for fall 2008 and winter 2009. Wherever MMI goes, the community is left with a  stronger church ready to serve God. Months and years later, the churches are still strong. Only God knows the full impact of your participation, but we have witnessed the fruit of your labor!

 

As you pray for us, we too are praying for all of you and that the TREE OF LOVE that you planted with your partnership may grow toward many other Malian communities.
