Haiti's touch on MCC 
Since the recent earthquake catastrophe in Haiti in January, all of us have been touched in some way, but some within our MCC family have experienced even more than the normal need to pray and give financially to the ravished country.
Kurt('88) and Stacy(attended) Mortensen and family pastor in OK City and have had a relationship with Haiti through short term mission trips for a while, but since the earthquake their lives have drastically changed as the orphan girl they sponsor suddenly needed a permanent home along with several others. Kurt and Stacy are now proud parents of 12 year old Widsherline. (photo above)
Brian Medaris (CE professor) and his wife Nikki (adjunct prof.) and 2 sons had just started the adoption process a couple months ago for 2 small Haitian boys, and were told it would be at least a 2 year process. After the earthquake, they found out that the boys were to become part of their family - now! As of mid-February, 1 year old John Peter and 3 year old Gregory are in Manhattan living with the Medaris family.
Nicole Long ('02) just returned from a trip to Haiti with the Global Orphan Project - a trip formed quickly in response to the crisis and tremendous need for the orphanages in the country. Supplies were taken, needs were met, and love was given to these children and workers so deeply affected.
Finally, one of our MCC students organized a "penny drive" for Haiti, and the student body raised $280.00 to be sent for relief help.
If you have something to share regarding ministry to the country of Haiti following the January disaster, please post a note on our MCC facebook alumni page! | 
God is so good! Our 2nd annual MCC NOW Campus Campaign took place Jan. 25-29. The purpose of the campaign is to promote school spirit, build school pride, and honor the Lord by providing support for a specific need on campus. All who chose to support the campaign gave a minimal gift and received a cool MCC NOW t-shirt (artwork shown above). Our goal was $5,000.00, and $5,795.00 was given by faculty, staff and students. The 2010 funds will go to purchase the needed sound equipment for the Wilson Family Worship Center in Jolliffe Hall.

in January, Sherry Miles from Aurora, CO came to MCC and graciously gave of her time, talent, and resources to create many plant and flower arrangements to decorate all 3 floors of Jolliffe(lounge shown above). On the 2nd floor, a pew from the former chapel has been restored and set between 2 pillars (also saved from former building and restored) across from the MCC History Room.
